Fantasy Player Projections

Philip Rivers

Rivers threw for three touchdowns and 337 yards against the Buccaneers in Week 10, but he also threw two interceptions. The Broncos were tough on Rivers in Week 6, intercepting him four times.

Ryan Mathews

Mathews rushed for 54 yards against the Buccaneers, but he also caught five passes for 22 yards. The Broncos gave up 74 rushing yards to Mathews in Week 6, and he should be good for that again in Week 11.

Jackie Battle

Interestingly, Battle had just one touch against Tampa Bay -- but he went for 21 yards, which was the longest run on the day for the Chargers. Until the Chargers use him more, though, fantasy owners should use him less.

Malcom Floyd

Floyd caught six passes for 63 yards and a touchdown at Tampa Bay for his best fantasy output of the season. He had five catches for 60 yards against Denver in Week 6, but the Broncos have improved defensively since then.

Danario Alexander

Alexander had a career day against Tampa Bay in Week 10, catching five passes for a season-high 134 yards and a touchdown. Over the past two games, he has nearly 200 receiving yards, making Chargers fans and fantasy owners forget Robert Meachem's name.

Robert Meachem

Meachem returned from a hamstring injury, but he caught just one pass for eight yards last week. It seems as if Danario Alexander has stolen his spotlight (and touches) for now.

Antonio Gates

Gates caught four passes for 57 yards and a touchdown against Tampa Bay in Week 10. The Broncos host San Diego in Week 11, and Gates' owners hope he duplicates his last game against them, when he caught six passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns.

Nick Novak

Novak connected on his only field-goal attempt in Week 10 at Tampa Bay. He has just five field-goal attempts in his past five games and only one against Denver in Week 6.

The Chargers had a tough time with quarterback Josh Freeman and the Buccaneers, as the defense registered just one sack and no forced turnovers. Even though this defense scored against Peyton Manning and Co. in Week 6, it is not a recommended option in Week 11.

Peyton Manning

While Manning posted yet another 300-yard game and threw a touchdown, he was a bit of a fantasy letdown in Week 10, as his three-touchdown pass streak ended at five games.

Willis McGahee

McGahee rushed 14 times for 56 yards at Carolina in Week 10, but he fumbled twice and lost a fumble for the fourth time this season. The Chargers rank second against the run, and McGahee was only able to get 56 rushing yards against them in Week 6.

Ronnie Hillman

While Hillman rushed five times for just five yards last week, the rookie did score the first touchdown of his NFL career. He holds great promise for the Broncos, but he won't really be a fantasy starter unless an injury vastly increases his workload.

Demaryius Thomas

While Thomas didn't get into the end zone in Week 10, he did catch nine passes for 135 yards against the Panthers. He had only two catches in his previous game against the Chargers in Week 6, but he remains a must-start player in all formats.

Eric Decker

Decker's touchdown streak ended at five games, as he caught just two passes for 15 yards at Carolina in Week 10. He should be back in the paint in Week 11 against the Chargers, whom he caught six passes for 98 yards and a touchdown against in Week 6.

Joel Dreessen

Dreessen caught two passes for 31 yards at Carolina in Week 11, and he has one touchdown catch in his past four games. He's averaging just three targets per game over his past three contests, so his value has fallen off.

Jacob Tamme

Tamme caught just one pass for six yards at Carolina. He hasn't scored since Week 1, and he has a total of just 57 receiving yards in his past three games.

Matt Prater

Prater tied his season-long effort, with a 53-yard field goal at Carolina in Week 10. He has five field goals in his past three games, but he has had 17 extra points in his past four games.

The Broncos' defense scored twice at Carolina, and it sacked Cam Newton a season-high seven times in Week 10. The last time this defense scored twice was in Week 6 against San Diego, and the Broncos play the Chargers in Week 11.
