The Chargers may be coming off a 6-10 season in arguably the most competitive division in football, but that is not preventing optimism for the team from one NFL fantasy/projection expert.
Mike Clay, who provides NFL fantasy and projection analysis for Sirius XM and ESPN, projects the Chargers to finish the 2017 season with 8.7 wins -- the most in the AFC West and 12th-most overall.
The Raiders were projected to finish second in the division with 8.5 wins, followed by the Chiefs and Broncos at 7.8 and 7.4 wins, respectively.
