Jaguars vs Chargers: Players to watch

The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to start 2-1 for the first time in four seasons as they face the Los Angeles Chargers this week.

These are the players I’ll be paying most attention to on either side of the ball.

WR Zay Jones

The Chargers were one of the worst run-defending teams in the league last year due to personnel being unable to carry out scheme. That roster weakness was prioritized in the offseason.

Brandon Staley now fields an average run defense despite playing with a light box (six or fewer defenders near line of scrimmage) at the second-highest rate in the league this season, per Sports Info Solutions.
