Hello fantasy football community, I am back and better than ever! I will continue my OL evaluation series from last year, which some of you really enjoyed I will be doing 3 teams in each part of this series, starting from the worst-ranked OLs in the league last season, working my way up to the best My main goal is to determine whether each team's OL improved in any significant way this offseason, and what effect that will have on their skill position players in fantasy Some advanced metrics about how important the strength of the OL is for rushing upside and production: Fantasy Points charters estimate that 75.0% of our yards before contact metric is attributed to the OL Over the last two seasons, only 4 of the top 20 RB finishes saw fewer than 2.0 YBCO/Att on average In 2025, 59.0% of all fantasy rushing production occurred when an RB saw at least 3.0 YBCO/Att Those rush attempts only made up 27.8% of the total rush attempts 88.1% of all explosive yards occurred when an RB saw >3.0 YBCO/Att TLDR graphics are available for each team as well! - Los Angeles Chargers The Chargers faced a war of attrition in 2025, led by Justin Herbert, who recorded the most scramble yards in the league last season and finished as an MVP candidate I was never a fan of the scheme that Greg Roman ran while OC of this team, and while he was heavily limited by the OL play and injuries, he was still making some questionable decisions - [2025 Metrics] Offense PPG: 20.6 (24th) Overall OL Ranking: 32nd Run-Block Ranking: 30th Pass-Block Ranking: 32nd Percentage of rush attempts with > 3.0 YBCO/Att: 24.0% (28th) Their most used OL group combined for the lowest snap share together in the league (16.5%) - [Key 2025 Offensive Linemen injuries] Rashawn Slater (missed the entire season) Joe Alt (played only 4 full games) - [Coaching Changes] Mike McDaniel at OC (former Dolphins HC) Butch Berry as OL coach (former Dolphins OL coach) Max McCaffrey as RB coach (former Dolphins Offensive Assistant) 2025 Pass Rate over Expectation: 3.4% (8th) 2025 2 TE Set Rate: 14.3% 2025 3 TE Set Rate: 1.2% The addition of Mike McDaniel should lead to a massive improvement in the run game, a boost in efficiency in the passing game, and an increase in fantasy upside for everyone in this offense We should also see a lot more heavy personnel, which will lead to a boost in efficiency for Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston (possibly Tre' Harris too) - [Free Agency Additions] Tyler Biadasz: 70.7 Overall PFF Grade Cole Strange: 54.9 Overall PFF Grade Kayode Awosika: 57.0 Overall PFF Grade - [Draft Picks] Jake Slaughter (63rd overall pick): 79.3 2025 Overall PFF Grade Travis Burker (117th overall pick): 84.5 2025 Overall PFF Grade Logan Taylor (202nd overall pick): 70.8 2025 Overall PFF Grade Alex Harkey (206th overall pick): 65.0 2025 Overall PFF Grade - [2026 Projected Starting Lineup] LT Rashawn Slater: 90.9 2024 Overall PFF Grade (2nd/81) LG Jake Slaughter: 79.3 2025 Overall PFF Grade C Tyler Biadasz: 70.7 Overall PFF Grade (12th/37) RG Cole Strange: 54.9 Overall PFF Grade (57th/79) RT Joe Alt: 70.9 Overall PFF Grade - [Offseason Linemen Changes] Slater replaces Trey Pipkins (47.2 Overall PFF Grade) Slaughter replaces Zion Johnson (57.2 Overall PFF Grade) Biadasz replaces Bradley Bozeman (51.5 Overall PFF Grade) Strange Replaces Mekhi Becton (35.7 Overall PFF Grade) This unit should be the most improved unit in the league, just based on the return of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt alone (Tyler Bia…
