The Los Angeles Chargers are trending as a serious playoff contender in 2026 projections this offseason. To do so, they'll have to make it through a tough AFC West division.

The least likely team to challenge the Chargers is probably the Los Vegas Raiders, who had a tough season in 2025. The other two teams pose a great threat.

Kansas City landed a top running back in Kenneth Walker III to aid the Chiefs' offense as they wait for a healthy Patrick Mahomes II. The Broncos are hoping to return back to the AFC championship.

Which team stands as the biggest threat to the Chargers to win the West?
