Malcom Floyd caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers Week 1 win over the Raiders.
Philip Rivers found Floyd in the back of the endzone from six yards out for the Bolts lone touchdown of the night. He also caught a pretty 23-yard pass down the right sideline while working on Raiders cornerback Ronald Bartell. Floyd is obviously Rivers' No. 2 option in the passing game right now while Meachem and Rivers still work to find their chemistry. He's not much more than a WR3/4, though.
Malcom. My reasoning, 2nd most targeted last week, and furthermore Gates has a rib injury which could slow him down. Also, no chemistry between Meachem and Rivers thus far nor do I see any improvement in the future. There is a reason the saints let him go. Also Titans have sub par CB's, especially since they lost Finnegan.
Bears may not have the best CB's but they know how to cover and get to the QB quickly. And now with Jordy being #1 with Jennings out, I see double coverage happening.
YO YO ALL D. Revis is not making the trip to PITT. just got word. I might just start Wallace and Brown now (would be dumb but sounds good). I am going Wallace and Floyd with a smile on my face.

Help me out guys: Start Jordy Nelson vs Bears DB's or Macolm Floyd vs Titans DBs. Everywhere else say Nelson but im just not convinced yet.

Let me add that the Chargers still do not have Ryan Matthews on the field, so only option is to throw 50 times.

I hate having to look and check myself. I might legitimately bench Mike Wallace to start James Jones, and Malcom Floyd.

double check*

I'm taking that gamble. I'm benching Wallace to start Malcom Floyd. Wish me Luck
