Storylines

Daiyan Henley grades out as LAC's best

Daiyan Henley (LB) sits at 75 out of 100 for 2025 — a percentile against every other player at that position, built from charted performance rather than raw totals.

Where They Stand

At 59.8 the Los Angeles Chargers are the 11th-rated team in the league — playoff-calibre. The two halves barely resemble each other: the secondary grades 97 while the offensive line sits at 31. The AFC West grades 58.1, 2nd of the eight divisions — there is nowhere easy to hide in it. Over the last 5 they are 2-3, outscored by opponents by 2.4 a game. Across the last three games — L 14-26 vs Arizona Cardinals, L 3-19 at Denver Broncos, L 16-20 vs Houston Texans. Jim Harbaugh (66-32 career) has this club falling short of its graded expectation by 15.4 points a game, which points at the coaching rather than the roster.

At 39% to qualify they are live but behind — a bubble team on these numbers. Projected record 8.2-8.8; they take the division in 9% of runs. The schedule is a real part of that: remaining opponents average 58.4, the 4th-hardest left in the league.

Written from this club's own stored numbers — its Power Rating and the parts that make it up, its last five games, its division, its remaining schedule and its depth chart. Which facts appear depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. Deterministic, not written by a language model: the site builds where no local model exists and cloud inference is ruled out.
