Darren Waller vs. Derwin James
The Chargers All-Pro safety missed the entirety of 2020 season with a torn meniscus. Needless to say, Darren Waller and the Las Vegas Raiders took advantage of that last season.
In the Raiders' split series with the Chargers last season, Waller went for 172 receiving yards on 14 catches with two touchdowns. If not accounted for, Waller can light up any defense. The tight end already has 20 receptions, 224 receiving yards and a touchdown this season.
The man that will see a lot of snaps against the star tight end is just as accomplished in his own right. Derwin James has proven to be one of the hardest hitting, dynamic safeties in the NFL since being drafted out of Florida State. After returning from injury, James is second on the team in tackles (15) with a pass deflection and half a sack this season.
In the first three games of the season, Waller has drawn matchups from the best each secondary had to offer in Marlon Humphrey, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Byron Jones. I'd expect the same outcome in SoFi Stadium on Monday with James on Waller a lot of the game.
