Tim Tebow Wins Again; 5-1 as Starter

The Denver Broncos won again. But who deserves credit, Tim Tebow or the defense?

In the five games the Broncos have won since Tim Tebow took over as the starting quarterback, the passing-impaired Tebow has staged his own personal version of NFL Mythbusters.

Myth No. 1: A purely running quarterback will never succeed in the NFL, where the athletes are too good and the speed too overwhelming.

Should Vincent Brown Be In Your Starting Lineup Today?

The San Diego Chargers wide receiver is an intriguing play against the Bears

You can move the ball down the field, through the air against the Chicago Bears. And that is exactly what San Diego Chargers Antonio Gates and Vincent Brown should be able to do today in the Windy City.

The Chargers face a Bears defense that is friendly to opposing tight ends, allowing the most fantasy points per game in the league by 1.6 against 31st-ranked Dallas, and friendly to opposing team’s No. 2 receivers, allowing an average of 4.5 catches for 49.1 yards per game with two scores.

Sit San Diego’s Ryan Mathews regardless of if he’s active or not

Ryan Mathews is not a strong play today, even if he suits up

Ryan Mathews (groin) is listed as a game-time decision for today’s Week 9 game against visiting Green Bay. He didn’t practice Friday, which is usually a death nil for playing two days later. It completed a week in which he saw no practice time.

What is wrong with Philip Rivers? Can the Chiefs cure him?

Where's the Philip Rivers of a year ago?

Remember when Philip Rivers did a lot with a little a season ago? Where’s that Rivers been?

Hopefully, fantasy football players (at least the one with Rivers on their rosters) will see his re-emergence Monday night in Kansas City.

Vincent Jackson (Hamstring) Expected To Play; Should Dominate

The Chargers wide receiver will perform much better than expected against the Denver Broncos

Vincent Jackson is a must play every week he's in the lineup. But you probably knew that.

This week, Jackson, who's been struggling with a hamstring and strained abdomen issues for the last few weeks, should be good to go, but his match-up against the Broncos' Champ Bailey has some owners worried.

They shouldn't be.
