San Diego Chargers 4-6 at Kansas City Chiefs 9-1

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Jamaal Charles

#2 Ranked RB

Last week the Chiefs abandoned the run… and they lost.  Let’s assume they learned their lesson and Charles will get back to his usually awesome self.  Twice, Charles has garnered less than 100 total yards.  But only twice, so don’t freak out.

Kansas City Defense

#3 Ranked DEF

We love this defense and we told you not to start them last week.  Hopefully you listened.  But this week, put them back in.  San Diego doesn’t turn over the ball all that often, but they will get to Phillip Rivers.  Frankly, we think the Chiefs are looking to punish the Chargers to let out some frustrations from last week.

Gut Calls

Alex Smith

#11 Ranked QB

We’re a little confused.  It seems all other fantasy experts hate this guy.  Last week Smith threw for 230 yards, 2 TDs and rushed for 52 yards.  He scored over 20 fantasy points for the fourth time this year.  That’s pretty groovy.  And San Diego has given up the 4^th most fantasy points to opposing QBs. No one’s going to tell you to start him over Drew Brees, but if you’re in a bad place trying to replace Russell Wilson, you could do worse.  He might be a sneaky play in a competitive divisional matchup after a close loss.

Dwayne Bowe

#27 Ranked WR

Bowe scored over 10 fantasy points for only the third time this season against the Broncos last week.  He caught 4 passes for 57 yards and 1 TD.  Clearly the Broncos chose to shut down Jamaal Charles and forced Smith to throw.  San Diego may do the same, but if you’re ever going to play Bowe, this is your week.  The Chargers give up the 5^th most fantasy points to opposing WRs, so there is a chance that he comes through again this week.  But it’s more up to “chance” than a proven offensive scheme.

Bench Warmers

Anthony Fasano

#25 Ranked TE

Congrats to Fasano for his one fantasy relevant game of the season.  He caught 4 passes for 37 yards and 1 TD.  There it was, folks.  Don’t look for it again.
