All that matters is that he has been named the starter for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> and gets to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in week one. While looking at defensive numbers from last year can be tricky, the Bengals allowed the most yards per play last year. They also allowed the most rushing yards to quarterbacks. Tyrod Taylor may not be quite as mobile as he used to be, but he should still be able to chip in 30 to 50 yards with his legs to complement what should be a good passing day. Tyrod Taylor is the most confident call of all the week one stream team members.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nobody allowed more rushing yards to opposing QBs than the Bengals last season <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bwVdAIfzWs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/bwVdAIfzWs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ihartitz\/status\/1302963747477172225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Honorable Mentions \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BridTe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Teddy Bridgewater<\/a><\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Carolina Panthers<\/a> &#8211; 22%) v <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/raiders\/\" target=\"_self\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/07\/30\/gardner-minshew-fantasy-football-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Gardner Minshew<\/a>\u00a0II<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/jaguars\/\" target=\"_self\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> &#8211; 26%) v <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/colts\/\" target=\"_self\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Running Back \u2013\u00a0James Robinson\u00a0(JAX &#8211; 10%) v IND<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RobiJa03.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>James Robinson<\/strong><\/a> has had a meteoric rise over the past couple of weeks.
