Khalil Mack Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack had two sacks in the Chargers' win over the New York Jets on Monday night. Although Mack has had a sack in three games this season, he ranks fifth in the league with 9.0 sacks on the season because of his six-sack boom week. The veteran, who is in his second year with LA, also made three solo tackles and two assists and forced a fumble. He finished in the top 10 of all IDP scorers in Week 9. Next week, his matchup against the Detroit Lions will be more difficult, as the Lions are allowing sacks at a rate below the league average.

Ever since Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack came out of nowhere to make 6.0 sacks in Week 4, he has only made a single sack and just six combined tackles since then. Things have been even worse in the past two weeks. He has made no sacks and just one solo tackle and one assisted tackle. Week 9 (@NYJ) brings a favorable matchup for the Chargers' edge rusher, but can Mack take advantage of it? The Chargers face the Jets who have suffered multiple injuries and rank as the worst offensive line in PFF's Week 9 offensive line rankings. They have allowed a sack on almost 10% of their passing plays. Mack is a low floor IDP starter with a high ceiling this week.

Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack only registered a single tackle and a single QB hit last week after he had massive games in his previous two weeks. Mack was coming off a two-game sack streak, including a wild 6.0 sacks in Week 4. There is no reason to expect him to reprise those historic numbers, but he could make a sack and more QB hits in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears' pass blocking grade of 58.9 ranks No. 20 in the league, and their offensive line has allowed a sack on 11.6% of passing plays, the fourth-highest rate. Tyler Bagent isn't as sack-prone as Justin Fields. But the Bears might also be forced to throw the ball often, as predicted, with the Bears being heavy underdogs in a game with an over/under of 46.5, so that should increase the total chances for Chargers pass rushers to go after Chicago's quarterback.
