The Chargers have set themselves up to potentially have the league's best offense.
A lot of that optimism can be attributed to the addition of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. The expectation is that McDaniel will unlock the Chargers' offense, with many experts and former players believing Los Angeles could have the best unit in the NFL.
Former Pro Bowl wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh is among those believers. During his podcast, Speakeasy, he predicted the Chargers will have the NFL's best offense while highlighting Tre Harris as a player poised for a breakout.
“I'll go with an outlier, I’ll say the Chargers with Mike McDaniel,” Houshmandzadeh said.
“You think about that offensive line, you think about [Justin] Herbert. The receivers, if they give Tre Harris opportunities, Tre Harris gonna burst on the scene this year like why he didn't play much last year. That's that's what's going to happen.”
McDaniel is expected to modernize and elevate the offense into an explosive, top-tier unit. The Chargers were a middle-of-the-pack offense in 2025, ranking 12th in total offense, 18th in passing offense, 12th in rushing offense and 20th in scoring offense.
With a quarterback like Herbert, that should not be the case. With McDaniel at the helm, there are high expectations for how he could transform the Bolts' offense.
As for the Harris part of things, he's expected to play a big role in 2026. Harris has every chance to take a major leap and be the true second or third wide receiver for Los Angeles.
The 2025 season was an underwhelming one, recording only 324 receiving yards. However, Harris is expected to be heavily involved in the offense, which could lead to a breakout season.
