| The Chargers defense disappointed last season, ranking near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive category. But the loss of Shawne Merriman before the season was huge. He gives the Chargers a top playmaker and rusher of the passer. The Chargers had just 28 sacks, which ranked near the bottom of the league. The return of Merriman should help, though, and Luis Castillo gives the Chargers a good push up the middle. Their secondary is fairly solid with Quentin Jammer and Antonio Cromartie giving the team a good one-two punch. Cromartie is capable of making a huge play every time a ball goes up in the air. And Darren Sproles gives the Chargers one of the most dynamic return men in the game. Cromartie also can be an asset on special teams.

The Chargers should rebound after an awful season. They have good touchdown and sack potential. Consider them a borderline No. 1 defense for fantasy teams. San Diego had struggles stopping teams last year, though, so don't be surprised if they allow high yardage and point totals. Their haven't been many changes personnel wise. |
