Chargers race to a 2-0 start, top the AFC West behind Justin Herbert’s hot start (560 passing yards, 5 TDs, 0 picks) and a stingy defense. They host the Broncos in Week 3 after a Brazil thriller to beat Kansas City and a Week 2 shutout of the Raiders. Tom Brady’s weekly power rankings give the Chargers a media boost, while chatter around Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa keeps fantasy owners watching the pass rush and injury notes closely.

Week 3 IDP start/sit guide focuses on streaming and fades for defensive players. Watt faces Seattle but must prove the age concerns wrong, while Baun remains a solid LB2 floor in tougher matchups. Sweat and DeJean emerge as budget streamers with favorable matchups, and Bishop and Browning offer cheap, high-upside options in deeper formats. Fades target Dax Hill and Spillane as game scripts lean away from pass-heavy games. Stashes Hawkins, Bosa, and Pace Jr. for upside if roles hold, with Nacua and Moses as matchup considerations for secondary pieces.

Herbert can extend his 110+ passer rating streak to six games, a club joined by Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes and Young. Jacobs aims for a 12th straight rushing TD, a feat matched by just a handful of legends. Garrett sits at 3.5 sacks through three games and needs two more to tie Reggie White for the most sacks by a player under 30 since 1982. Week 3 matchups vs Denver and Green Bay shape fantasy value around these milestones.

Chargers roar to 2-0 after Week 2, including a 20-9 win over the Raiders and a Brazil upset of the Chiefs in Week 1. Herbert is hailed as the face of the franchise by McAfee and Arians, reinforcing rising expectations and a potent fantasy-friendly offense. With two divisional wins, LAC sits atop the AFC West as they prepare for Denver, while defensive uncertainties around Mack’s injury and Bosa’s status linger in the backdrop.
