Chargers News: NFL Writer Predicts What The LA Lineup Will Look Like in 2023

Barring a few new faces, much should stay the same.

The Los Angeles Chargers did not enter this most recent offseason looking to make any blockbuster moves nor part ways with any of their biggest players. Other than Austin Ekeler requesting a trade and Drue Tranquill joining the Kansas City Chiefs, they held on to most of their core players and will look to bounce back from their 2022 disappointments.

I love that LA's front office decided to go offense in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft and gift Justin Herbert another passing option with Quentin Johnston. It's very clear that the Bolts wants to place themselves near the top of the league with KC as the best threats to score touchdowns and they're going all in.

However, when it comes to the daily lineup for the Chargers, they'll have themselves a nice slate of options here. Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Ekeler will continue to take up majority of the possessions.

Bleacher Report's David Kenyon made an in-depth prediction as to what LA's lineup will look like to kick off 2023.

Offense: QB Justin Herbert, RB Austin Ekeler, WR Keenan Allen, WR Mike Williams, WR Quentin Johnston, TE Gerald Everett, LT Rashawn Slater, LG Zion Johnson, C Corey Linsley, RG Jamaree Salyer, RT Trey Pipkins

Defense: Edge Joey Bosa, DE Austin Fox, NT Sebastian Joseph-Day, DT Austin Johnson, Edge Khalil Mack, LB Eric Kendricks, LB Kenneth Murray Jr., CB Asante Samuel Jr., CB Michael Davis, S Derwin James Jr., S Alohi Gilman, NB Ja'Sir Taylor

Kenyon also touched on how the newest additions and how they'll fit.

"Quentin Johnson and Joshua Palmer will be regulars at receiver, no matter who starts. Rashawn Slater missed most of 2022, but Los Angeles returns all five players from its first-choice offensive line.The defense is also a familiar group, save for linebacker Eric Kendricks replacing Drue Tranquill. Plus, once J.C. Jackson is recovered from a knee injury, he'll retake a starting job at corner."
