Philip Rivers will have more targets with the return of Vincent Brown and the addition of Keenan Allen.

Philip Rivers will have more targets with the return of Vincent Brown and the addition of Keenan Allen.

The Chargers didn't have much name recognition tied to their defense, but they were a productive fantasy unit a year ago because of seven defensive touchdowns, two returns for touchdowns in the kicking game and a remarkable 14 fumble recoveries. Because an owner cannot count on those freak results year to year, consider the Chargers a low-end fantasy defensive unit. The addition of Manti Te'o could bring a marketable name to the unit -- not to mention some run stuffing -- but mostly ignore the individuals here in IDP leagues.
