Los Angeles Chargers Depth Chart 2019 Chargers Depth Chart
2-4, 3rd AFC West
at TEN
8:05 pm GMT, 10/20
The Los Angeles Chargers will enter the 2019 season as a super bowl contender, hoping to build off their most successful season in years. They remain one of the deepest, most versatile teams in the league, and considering the team’s frequent injury history, that’s very important for them. An organization that has been considered snake bitten for years will look to finally get a monkey off their back and make a run at the Lombardi. The Chargers don’t seem to have one massive weakness on their team, but there remain some intriguing questions about their depth chart.

How Will Their Running Back Depth Chart Look Opening Day?
The biggest storyline for the Chargers right now is Melvin Gordon’s holdout. The 5th year running back wants to get paid like a top 5 running back, but the Chargers are reportedly unwilling to budge from their current offer. This obviously creates an interesting situation for the Chargers. On one hand, Gordon has been one of the most productive backs for the past 3 years and is definitely a guy the Chargers would like to be on their team for the foreseeable future. Conversely, Gordon isn’t a top 5 player at his position, and has suffered from injuries the past couple years. It doesn’t help Gordon’s cause that in his absence, the Chargers went 4-0 last year and his replacements showed out. Those replacements, Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson have the ability to hold down the fort while Gordon holds out. The Chargers used the 15th pick on Gordon 4 years ago, and you never want to see a player selected that high walk away for nothing. Conversely, Melvin Gordon is not an absolute necessity for this team to be successful, so paying him like he is would be a mistake.
Who Will Be the Third Receiver for the Team?
The Chargers have a very formidable WR1 and WR2 duo in Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but after those two their receiver depth chart gets a little murky. Tyrell Williams used to hold that spot, and he filled it well, but he’s since departed for the Raiders. As it stands, the most likely WR3 for the Chargers will be Travis Benjamin. Travis Benjamin is a pretty experienced receiver that has had successful seasons with Rivers in years past. His notable trait is his speed, which allows him to stretch out the field as a quality deep threat. Still, he had a pretty dismal season last year, where he had just 1 tou
