| Denver Broncos |

Last Week:
---------------------------
Denver played a decent game against the Eagles but game up just short. Orton had a nice day w/ 3 TDs but the running game and Marshall struggled.
Last Week's Result: Denver 27 - Philadelphia 30
Prediction: Denver 27 - Philadelphia 30
Not bad eh?
This Week:
---------------------------
Denver is playing to continue its season and they need a little help on top of a win. The good thing is they will not know where they stand at 4pm so there's no worry about starters getting rested. Marshall is out and Royal is questionable so Orton will have to rely on Gaffney and Stokley this week. That means Denver could struggle to move the ball and will have to rely on a big defensive performance. In the end, it looks like a repeat of last year's collapse with Denver on vacation in January.
Prediction: Denver 17 KC 24
Rumors:
---------------------------
Injuries:
---------------------------
PLAYER INJURY STATUS
Brandon Marshall Hamstring Out
Daniel Graham Knee Questionable
Eddie Royal Head Questionable
Correll Buckhalter Ankle Probable
Brian Dawkins Knee Probable
Renaldo Hill Ankle Probable
Spencer Larsen Hamstring Probable
Ty Law Hamstring Probable
Darrell Reid Knee Probable
Position Analysis:
---------------------------
QUARTERBACKS: Orton will be without his #1 WR this week and possibly without Royal too. For this reason, leave him on the bench.
Weekly Projections: Orton - 200 yards, 1 TD.
RUNNING BACKS: Moreno could have a decent day as Denver relies on the run and dump passes. Buckhalter could also see an increase in carries but don't expect monster days from either.
Weekly Projections: Moreno - 90 yards, 1 TD. Buckhalter - 60 yards, 0 TD.
WIDE RECEIVERS: Marshall is OUT. Royal is iffy. Look for Gaffney to take over the #1 spot and Lloyd to be a possession guy. Both are high risk plays this week.
Weekly Projections: Gaffney- 70 yards, 1 TD. Lloyd- 40 yards, 0 TD.
TIGHT ENDS: Graham is also questionable so if you HAVE to play a Denver TE, use Scheffler and look for 3 or 4 catches for 35 yards.
PLACE KICKER: Matt Prater was perfect again last week and could be serviceable in a pinch against KC.
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS: Denver's D was decent last week as they found a way to pressure the QB. This is the only way they will come out on top this week (getting to KC's Cassel). Look for a couple sacks and a couple turnovers. If they can manage a score, they may have a shot.
Good luck and see you next year.

| Kansas City Chiefs |

Last Week:
---------------------------
Bengals - 17, Chiefs - 10: Is the season over yet?
This Week:
---------------------------
The Chiefs travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. Denver still has an outside shot at making the playoffs. The Chiefs still have a shot at the #3 pick in next year's draft. Both could be achieved on
Sunday.
Rumors:
---------------------------
Nothing that will affect your fantasy team.
Injuries:
---------------------------
Nothing that should affect your fantasy team.
Position Analysis:
---------------------------
QUARTERBACKS: Matt Cassel shouldn't be starting for your fantasy team because at least three of his passes will end up in the Broncos hands.
Projection: 220 yards, 2 passing TDs, 3-4 int.
RUNNING BACKS: Jamaal Charles is 139 yards away from a 1,000 yard season. Considereing he didn't take over the starting job until Week 9 and only had 27 carries for the season entering Week 10, that's a successful year for anyone. The Chiefs will use Charles a ton this week and is a must-start.
Projections: Charles - 150 total yards, 1 touchdown.
WIDE RECEIVERS: Start Dwayne Bowe or Chris Chambers at your own risk because one of them will probably get shut down by Champ Bailey. The other one will do OK. Not great, but OK.
Projection: Chambers - 5 catches, 70 yards, 0 touchdowns; Bowe - 6 catches - 80 yards, 1 touchdown.
TIGHT ENDS: No.
PLACE KICKER: Ryan Succop will be an OK play. Nothing great, but just OK. A field goal or two and two extra points.
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS: Good lord, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Last Week:
---------------------------
Review of the Broncos game Good luck
This Week:
---------------------------
Raiders in Cleveland Good Luck!
Rumors:
---------------------------
good luck!
Injuries:
---------------------------
Good Luck!
Position Analysis:
---------------------------
QUARTERBACKS:
PROJECTED
RUNNING BACKS:
PROJECTED: Bush 75 yards possibly 1 TD McFadden 20 yds 0 TD's
WIDE RECEIVERS:
PROJECTED: Murphy 90 yards, possible TD. Schilens 50 yards no TD's.
TIGHT ENDS: Due to the Raiders not being able to protect the QB, they are having to use their TE's to do it. Miller has greatly been diminished to a near OL.
PROJECTED: Miller 30-40 yards, 0 TD's.
PLACE KICKER: Janikowski will get his usual 2-3 field goals and 1-2 extra points. He's had a solid year.
PROJECTED: 2-3 FG's, and a possible PAT
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS: This is a huge question mark; the Raiders defense has played two once proud running teams that cant' run anymore. The Browns are not a juggernaut but this will be another test for the run defense. I think the Browns will run the ball fairly well. The Raiders at times have awful special teams and I see the Browns having some big plays, especially in the kickoff return.
This game will be ugly; I dont think neither team is very good.

| San Diego Chargers |

Last Week:
---------------------------
Chargers: 42 Titans: 17
The christmas day game proved to be another walk in the park for the unstoppable Charge. With this festive win the Chargers have flinched the number two seed in the AFC winning them the much needed bye in the playoffs. With the loss Tennessee has dropped out of the playoff hunt. The Chargers haven't lost a game since week six, and they are looking to keep up their momentum and consistent play into the playoff.
This Week:
---------------------------
With the two seed clinched don't expect to see the starters play all game. The final match up against Washington bodes well for the Chargers. Look for them to build an early lead and coast through the second half of the game. This is going to give fantasy points a hit so be weary if you plan to start Chargers players, especially if they have any injury or ailment.
Rumors:
---------------------------
none
Injuries:
---------------------------
Any injured players will get two weeks rest, so the team should be in good shape coming into their first playoff game.
Position Analysis:
---------------------------
QUARTERBACKS:
Phillip Rivers-
Rivers will definitely start the game, and try to put up points early so the starters can rest. But either way, points or no points, I see Backup QB Volek coming into the game and cutting Rivers' effort short.
RUNNING BACKS:
LT will also be in the game while there is some competition so he may get a touchdown early. Other running backs are going to have a big wee, as they try and let Tomlinson rest and prepare for the playoffs. Don't expect Sproles to have another huge week, but he is worth consideration in this match up.
WIDE RECEIVERS:
I think Jackson will get passes throughout the game. I don't see him leaving the game early like other stars. He is the only one worth a look this week.
TIGHT ENDS:
Antonio Gates-
I think Gates is going to be the player that gets the Chargers an early lead. Put him in and hope for the best. While it may not be a huge scoring week he should haul in an early TD.
PLACE KICKER:
Nate Kaeding-
Both the most accurate NFL kicker ever, and the leagues point leader. With backups in he should get more chances at long field goals and less extra points.
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS:
The defense has several banged up players so coach Turner may try to protect his defensive stars by playing backups. On the other hand Washington does not have a very strong offense. It is a coin toss, but I think they are a good bet.
