Raiders vs. Chargers prediction and fantasy outlook for Week 2 MNF feat. Brock Bowers, Justin Herbert, and more

Week 2's Monday Night Football feature is a divisional rivalry clash in Las Vegas. The LA Chargers take a short trip to Nevada to visit the Las Vegas Raiders in a primetime showdown.

Both teams started the season strong and will look to build on that in Week 2. The game will be a spectacle of Jim Harbaugh's offense against 'Legion of Boom' genius Pete Carroll's defense.

Ahead of the matchup, let's look at the game odds and fantasy outlook.

Raiders vs. Chargers fantasy outlook

Three players are expected to have a big primetime performance in the Chargers' trip to Vegas.

Brock Bowers (Raiders, TE)

Brock Bowers is arguably the biggest football star in Vegas right now. Exploding onto the scene in his rookie season, the young tight end is once again picking it up right where he left off.

As the best receiver of the Raiders, expect Bowers to have a big day against a Chargers team that often finds itself in high-scoring games.

Justin Herbert (Chargers, QB)

Justin Herbert is the heartbeat of this LA team. With a solid supporting cast around him, he looks to shoot for the top of the AFC West this season.

Having taken the Kansas City Chiefs to task last week, look for Herbert to go 2-0 to start the season, this time against the Raiders. Wideouts Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen could also have a big day on the back of Harbaugh's passing schemes.

Geno Smith (Raiders, QB)

Many expected that Geno Smith would finally come apart in a new team, but the longtime veteran keeps showing up. With a Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, Smith once again proved Carroll right for trusting him.

In Week 2 versus the Chargers, Smith stands as a strong fantasy football candidate in a matchup that will likely come down to the passing game.
