| Darren Sproles had nine carries for 30 yards on Thursday in addition to his receiving contributions, which were 34 yards on three receptions and two touchdowns. |
Our View: Sproles now has three receving touchdowns this year. |
|
|
|
| Antonio Gates didn't have a single reception in Thursday night's contest. |
Our View: Gates hasn't had a big game in a while, but he could break out at any time. This was the first time this season that he was held without a reception. |
|
|
|
| Vincent Jackson had a huge night on Thursday, going for 148 yards and a touchdown on five receptions. |
Our View: Jackson should be in fantasy lineups next week as well, when the Chargers take on the lowly Chiefs. |
|
|
|
| LaDainian Tomlinson ran for 91 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. |
Our View: Tomlison campaigned for the number one draft pick in fantasy and perhaps he was waiting for fantasy's playoffs to be worthy of it. We just hope it wasn't too late for anyone that selected him. |
|
|
|
| Philip Rivers had a strong night on Thursday, leading the Chargers to a 34-7 victory over the Raiders. He completed 10-of-22 passes and had 214 yard and three touchdowns. |
Our View: Rivers has been interception free in his last three games now and shouldn't slow down next week against the inept Chiefs either. |
|
|
|
| Chargers inactives: QB Charlie Whitehurst (3rd), RB Michael Bennett, RB Billy Latsko, FB Mike Tolbert, G Kynan Forney, T Corey Clark, FB Kris Wilson, LB Marques Harris. |
Our View: CB Antonio Cromartie is active and will play. The Chargers aren't missing anyone with much fantasy value. |
|
|
|
| Safety Clinton Hart is doubtful for tonight's game against the rival Raiders, according to the SF Chronicle. |
Our View: Hart won't be missed in IDP leagues with only 58 tackles and no interceptions, and the Chargers will manage fine without him, as he is merely adequate as a pro. |
