Fantasy Football: Is It Time To Consider Malcom Floyd the No. 1 WR in San Diego?
With each passing day the likelihood that Vincent Jackson will play a down for the Chargers this season worsens. Even with their new rookie RB Ryan Mathews figuring to provide more balance on offense, this is still Philip Rivers team, meaning they will be throwing the football early and often.
Antonio Gates will likely lead the Chargers in targets, but Floyd will be counted on to use his big frame (6โ5โณ, 225 lbs) similar to the way Vincent Jackson did.
Floyd showed big play potential last year catching 45 passes for 776 yards (17.2 yards per catch). His career ypc is 16.5. Heโll have to improve on his one TD though. However, with Vincent Jackson (6โ5โณ, 230) out of the mix, Floyd will be more likely to get them. Legedu Naanee (6/2โณ, 220) just doesnโt have the size Floyd does.

Assuming V-Jax doesnโt play for the Chargers Floyd could be a steal in fantasy drafts. His currentย Mock Draft Centralย ADP is 69th (25th WR). Itโs a little bit of a risk going with a somewhat unknown commodity, but sometimes you need to take risks to win. In all likelihood you can get the number one WR on a pass-first team as a WR3. Whatโs not to like about that scenario?
What are your thoughts on Malcom Floyd? Would you want him as your WR3?
