Chargers' Dexter McCoil: Earns first start of career

McCoil picked up six tackles (five solo) in the loss to the Saints on Sunday.

McCoil, starting in place of the injured Jahleel Addae (broken collarbone), played admirably, picking up a handful of tackles. While backup safety Adrian Phillips recorded one of two interceptions by the Chargers secondary Sunday, McCoil was able to record more snaps. Neither McCoil nor Phillips looks to be an entirely reliable option in IDP leagues, but both could have their moments in the coming weeks.
