Floyd snatched up four of his seven targets for 63 yards in Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran saw season-highs in targets, receptions and yardage as the Chargers were down big on the scoreboard in this one, but he still provided meager returns for fantasy owners. Floyd remains primarily as a deep threat and isn't seeing as many looks as he has in seasons past because of the variety of weapons the Chargers' offense possesses. Even with a favorable home matchup with the Browns looming in Week 4, Floyd's fantasy value remains limited.

Floyd had two receptions on four targets for 55 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's loss at Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
The touchdown came from 40 yards out on a beautiful deep ball from Philip Rivers as the Charges were trying to mount a second consecutive second-half comeback. On the season, Floyd has only three receptions and seems pretty well buried in the wide receiver pecking order behind both Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson, who have 17 and 11 receptions through two games respectively.

Floyd had one catch for 29 yards on Sunday in the San Diego's win over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Floyd will most definitely see better days as this game belonged to Keenan Allen, who put up a monster 15-reception performance, but Floyd's upside this year is also limited by the addition of Stevie Johnson, who pulled in six catches in his Chargers' debut. Floyd will look to get more involved in Week 2 at Cincinnati.

Floyd acknowledged that he plans to retire after the 2015 season, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Floyd is in the final year of his contract and will turn 34 in September, so it doesn't qualify as much of a surprise that the finish line is drawing near. He's had difficulty staying healthy for most of his career, but 2014 was one of the few exceptions, as he suited up for all 16 of the Chargers games, while reeling in 52 passes for 826 yards and six touchdowns. The Chargers added Steve Johnson to their receiving corps in the offseason, but Floyd still appears on track to open his final season in a starting role opposite Keenan Allen.

Floyd had three receptions on eight targets for 29 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's season ending loss at Kansas City.
With Keenan Allen missing this game, you would have thought that Floyd could have done more, but both Eddie Royal and Dontrelle Inman had better games. Floyd had a solid season as the number two wide receiver in San Diego, catching 52 balls for 856 yards and six touchdowns.

Floyd had four receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 38-35 overtime victory over the 49ers.
With Keenan Allen out, Floyd was targeted 10 times, his highest total of the season. Allen may be out next week as well, but Floyd will be working against a Chiefs defense that has been outstanding at shutting down opposing wide receivers this season.

Floyd caught 3-of-7 targets for 34 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Floyd had a disappointing performance, given that Keenan Allen was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury. In Floyd's defense, he primarily had to deal with CB Aqib Talib, who played well Sunday, intercepting a Philip Rivers' pass at one point. If Allen is unable to play next week at San Francisco, Floyd would likely see a bump in targets, although the 49ers have defended the pass well all season.

Floyd caught 3-of-6 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Patriots.
Floyd made a diving, 15-yard touchdown catch at the beginning of the second quarter, and he later had a 28-yard grab in the third quarter. He's recorded between five and seven targets in each of the last eight games, heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Broncos.

WR FA
Floyd had four receptions on five targets for 30 yards and did not score a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Rams.
Floyd's solid yards per catch average took a bit of a hit in this game as Philip Rivers didn't make as many deep throws as he typically does. Floyd will look to get it going again next week at Baltimore against a suspect secondary.

Floyd caught 4-of-6 targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Raiders.
Floyd scored on a 22-yard touchdown in the first minute, but was relatively quiet for the remainder of the game. He did have a pretty 24-yard, over-the-shoulder catch wiped out by penalty at one point in the first half. Floyd doesn't see as many looks as youngster Keenan Allen, who had 13 targets Sunday, but the veteran wideout has been one of the best deep threats in the league this season, averaging close to 19 yards per catch. Next week, he'll face a Rams' defense that has been mediocre against the pass.
