Based on the betting line, the Chargers have informed the sportsbooks of their intentions on sitting their star player vs. Denver. Los Angeles locked up a playoff berth while waiting to see if they are the fifth or sixth seed. The Broncos have lost 11 of their last 13 games.
Austin Ekeler needs 119 yards rushing to reach 1,000 for the first time in his career. If he is active, I don’t expect him to see the field for more than a handful of plays. The Chargers have viable backup running back options, but I can’t see Chase Daniels having success passing the ball due to a drop-off in expected receiving talent.
