The Los Angeles Chargers enter the 2018-2019 season with one of the deepest rosters in the entire National Football League.

The expectations are high for the Los Angeles Chargers in this upcoming NFL season. Even though the team has not made the postseason since the 2013-2014 season, the Chargers are one of the favorite choices to be a dark horse Super Bowl contender.

While the general NFL audience may not have latched on to the idea of the Chargers being true contenders, the deep roster in Los Angeles is rich in talent that could really beat any team in the league in a 60-minute time frame.

Granted, the NFL does not work that way and the Los Angeles Chargers still have a ton of work to do before making it to the postseason. Once there, LA will likely be filled with momentum and can really take down any team in the AFC.

It may seem far-fetched to those not yet on the Chargers hype train that a team that went 9-7 and did not make any huge changes in the offseason will have such a huge turnaround. However, that same 9-7 team was easily the best team to miss the postseason and could have easily gone 11-5 if it weren’t for two muffed field goal attempts.

Don’t even get us started on the other games from last season. The Chargers easily could have won 13 games if a few small minor tweaks were made. But, that is not the case.

Still, that roster last season was immensely talented and is set to improve next season. While the Chargers do not have a very weak position on the roster, we still want to rank the team by position, starting with our so-called bottom tier.
