Week 11 Matchup: Denver Broncos(3-6) at San Diego Chargers(4-5) Click here for all other games Rankings based on top 16 QBs, 32 RBs, 48 WRs, and 16 TEs (brought to you by pyromaniac.com) Denver Broncos (Broncos Schedule) Opponent Defensive Ranks San Diego Pass Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game, third - TDs Allowed, third San Diego Rush Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game, fourth – TDs Allowed T-18th Denver Offensive Cast Kyle Orton (QB Week 11 Ranking: No. 12) Reebok New Orleans Saints #9 Drew Brees Realtree camo Jersey
2010 Season: 317/350 – for 2,806 yards and 16 TDs I would normally tell you to sit any quarterback going up against this formidable San Diego defense, but I can’t do that with Captain Neckbeard. The guy is simply on a roll that can’t be stopped with the thickest tar in the world. If the Chargers allowed opposing teams to run on them, I might think differently, but they don’t. Orton will have to pass the ball for the Broncos to keep close, and 50-plus attempts wouldn’t shock me in this game. If that happens, he’ll go over 300 yards and likely have one to two TDs to boot. Knowshon Moreno (RB Week 11 Ranking: No. 22) 2010 Season: 98 carries for 358 yards & two TDs, 15 receptions for 177 yards & three TDs Moreno has a real nose for the endzone, and although I don’t expect more than 70 total yards or so out of him against this suffocating Chargers D, I would be shocked if he doesn’t cross the goalline with the ball at least once this game. Correll Buckhalter (RB Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 38 carries for 82 yards & one TD, 18 receptions for 115 yards and one TD The Buck pretty much stops here. Don’t bother letting him take up a roster spot on your team. Brandon Lloyd (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 4) 2010 Season: 48 receptions for 968 yards and six TDs Lloyd is probably the biggest freak show in the NFL right now as he basically came out of nowhere to become the second biggest fantasy point-getter for WRs this year. It’s not like he’s picking on poor cornerbacks either as just last week, he put up 90 yards and two TDs against one of the best CBs in the game (Brandon Flowers). San Diego has a stifling defense, but I’m not putting anything past this young phenom anymore. Eddie Royal (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 47) 2010 Season: 43 receptions for 466 yards and two TDs The Chargers have a tough time covering the middle of the field, and with Orton possibly having to dump the ball off more with more frequency this Monday night, Royal may put up some pretty decent numbers, especially for PPR players. Jabar Gaffney (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 40) 2010 Season: 48 receptions for 573 yards and two TDs The Chargers are a tough team to get yards against, but they CAN be scored upon. With Denver being as pass-happy as they are, Gaffney will have just as much of a shot to produce as any of the other receivers on the team not named Brandon Lloyd. Demaryius Thomas (WR Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 19 receptions for 266 yards and two TDs Demaryius has the skills to put up some numbers, so hold onto him for a stretch-run. Daniel Graham (TE Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 12 receptions for 94 yards and zero TDs If he catches one pass this Monday night, the slurpees are on me! San Diego Chargers (Chargers Schedule) Opponent Defensive Ranks Denver Pass Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game 19th - TDs Allowed T-22nd Denver Rush Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game 30th – TDs Allowed 32nd San Diego Offensive Cast Philip Rivers Reebok New York Giants #27 Brandon Jacobs Realtree camo Jersey
(QB Week 11 Ranking: No. 5) 2010 Season: 215/329 – for 2,944 yards and 19 TDs Just because the guy was on a bye last week doesn’t mean you should forget what he’s done so far this year. He’s just 41 yards shy of the most passing yards in NFL history through nine games of the season (2,944, Drew Brees had 2,985) and is tied for the most TD passes to boot (w/ Eli Manning, 19). His injured receivers should be making their way back this game, but it doesn’t really matter with this kid. Against a Denver D that has given up 16 passing TDs already, bet on Rivers to shine. Mike Tolbert (RB Week 11 Ranking: No. 12) 2010 Season: 87 carries for 395 yards and seven TDs, 14 receptions for 99 yards and zero TDs Tolberticus Touchdownimust! All the guy seems to do is score TDs, and he won’t change that assessment this Monday night. The Broncos have given up the most rushing touchdowns in the league this year (14) and are ranked 30th in yards allowed. With Ryan Mathews still banged up, expect a heavy dose of the little big man in Week 11. Ryan Mathews (RB Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 87 carries for 382 yards and two TDs, 15 receptions for 92 yards and zero TDs Mathews may or may not play, but even if he does, he won’t be at full strength and won’t do a thing for your fantasy team because of it. Don’t bother taking the chance. Malcolm Floyd (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 31) 2010 Season: 24 receptions for 513 yards and three TDs Floyd looks like he’ll be back this week, but it might take a game or two for him to get back up to game-time speed. However, against a team that just gave up 469 yards and four TDs to Matt Cassel of all people and with Philip Rivers under center, it’s possible he could explode back onto the scene in a big way as well. Legedu Naanee (WR Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 11 receptions for 181 yards and one TD It doesn’t look like Naanee will be back this week. Patrick Crayton (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 45) 2010 Season: 25 receptions for 409 yards and zero TDs It’s unclear exactly what the Chargers WR situation is at the moment, but Crayton has done a fine job filling in for all the injuries. If he happens to get another start this week, he could pull off some decent numbers against an extremely vulnerable Denver secondary. Antonio Gates (TE Week 11 Ranking: No. 4) 2010 Season: Reebok New York Jets #6 Mark Sanchez Realtree camo Jersey
40 receptions for 663 yards and nine TDs Gates says he’s 50/50 to play on Monday, which leads me to believe he’ll fight through it and be out there for the team (but be ready to pull him out for Randy McMichael just in case). Because he won’t be at full strength, I’m not expecting the world out of him, but Broncos are the seventh-worst team in defending tight ends this year, so you never know.
