Summary:
Oakland is off to a fast (3-1) start despite their defense being deplorable. San Diego should have no problem amassing yardage and Phillip Rivers should be a must start in fantasy football this week. Raiders Quarterback Derek Carr and receiver Amari Cooper give Oakland one of the top three most prolific offenses in the league. The Chargers defense has been sketchy as well early in the year. This game is going to be a shoot-out and I like Oakland to win at home.
