San Diego Chargers – Fantasy Forecast – Week 10
San Diego Chargers vs Denver Broncos
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Philip Rivers
#5 Ranked QB
Where Philip is, INTs follow. The good news is that he throws for tons of yards, 341 to be exact last week. He throws TDs as well. His 2 TDs last week helped him get you 18 fantasy points and he was the 12th highest scoring QB. Overall, Philip is the 5th highest scoring QB so far this season. This week he plays the Broncos in a divisional matchup and in what is usually a shoot out. Did we mention the Broncos give up the 7th most points to QBs? Philip sure hopes so.
Keenan Allen
#10 Ranked WR
Welcome to the starting roster my friend. Three out of his last four games have produced double digit fantasy scored. Philip has to throw to someone and Allen is the guy. He scored 18 fantasy points last week, then a bye, then a measly 6, but then he had 16 and 17 points. We like what we see. This guy is owned in less than half of the leagues out there. Pick him up and play him against the Broncos terrible secondary.
Gut Calls
Antonio Gates
#6 Ranked TE
Gates had an okay week against the Redskins who are just okay at defending TEs. The Broncos are slightly worse so expect slightly better numbers than last week. He is the 7th highest scoring TE overall thus far this season so you probably still need to play him.
Danny Woodhead
#16 Ranked RB
He had a pretty decent game last week scoring 9 fantasy points. With the Broncos DEF being not-so-great against the rush or the pass, this should play nicely into what Woodhead can offer the Chargers and his fantasy owners.
Eddie Royal
#49 Ranked WR
Royal also had a nice week with 56 yards and 1 TD. You can score on the Broncos so Royal might be able to find the end zone again making it 3 weeks in a row. We don’t like him as much as we like Allen, but he is still a viable option.
Bench Warmers
Chargers DEF
#27 Ranked DEF
We say this about every team that plays the Broncos: not a wise start. Denver gives up the fewest points to opposing defenses and we don’t think this week will be any different.
Ryan Mathews
#25 Ranked RB
There you are, back on the bench. One might argue that he had tow back-to-back 100 yard performances and perhaps last week was out of the norm and you can expect him to bounce back. You would be wrong. We are going with history on this one, and he is historically bad.
