Chargers: Mike McDaniel keeps play-calling duties after bye

THE FACT. Jim Harbaugh confirmed at a Wednesday press conference that offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will keep calling plays when the Chargers come off their bye against the Rams on Sunday, per NBC Sports' Josh Alper. Los Angeles is 0-6, averages the fewest points in the league at 15 per game, and has turned the ball over more than any other team; Yahoo Sports reported the same decision Wednesday.
THE VERDICT. Harbaugh said the staff would look at everything over the bye and then changed nothing, so plan on the same low-scoring, turnover-prone offense. Redraft: every Chargers skill player is a flex-at-best option this week, not a lineup lock. DFS: fade the stack rather than chase a cheap bounce-back narrative. Survivor: the Rams are a defensible pick against the league's only winless team. Revisit in two weeks if the scoring rate actually moves.
