2. Los Angeles Chargers should sign Will Fuller

Will Fuller has been one of the more frustrating players in recent NFL history.  He was drafted in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans and has shown an insane ability when on the field.

That’s the issue, though.  The 28-year-old has missed 42 games so far, and he hasn’t been able to overcome this injury bug.

Fuller only played in two games in 2021 with the Miami Dolphins.

He caught four passes for 26 yards.

Fuller did enjoy a career year in 2020 with the Texans, accumulating 879 receiving yards in just 11 games.

There is no doubting his talent, and there may be no better spot for him than the Los Angeles Chargers, who have two stud receivers in Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

Will Fuller would slide in nicely as a WR3, and wouldn’t feel the pressure of needing to produce a ton.

Perhaps a new environment with a truly elite quarterback could help revive his career a bit.

Justin Herbert has shown a strong ability to throw it deep, and so they could take advantage of Fuller’s speed in that regard.

I think this could be an amazing match for the Chargers, who would also get yet another target for Justin Herbert.
