The second half of the NFL season will be underway this week when the NFL Network airs a bi-annual matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers. The Chargers and Chiefs have been division rivals for decades, but don’t expect to see any classic football being emulated in this Thursday night showdown.

Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe was targeted 10 times in Thursday's game against the Chargers. Bowe caught eight passes for 79 yards but lost a fumble in the first quarter.Fantasy Spin:Bowe came in having caught just six passes for 90 yards in the last two games. We think Matt Cassel is better for Bowe's fantasy value than Brady Quinn but neither quarterback really maximizes Bowe's talent.

The Chargers placed Kaeding on IR with the minor-injury designation and now that he's passed his physical the team is expected to waive him. If another team claims him, they would be responsible for his salary so he is likely to clear waivers and be released. If he's healthy, he can help a team down the stretch...

Chargers (4-4):
After a promising start in 2012 the Chargers have regressed into the mediocrity that plagued them exactly a year ago. Not only does the offense look lost, QB Philip Rivers (10 TD, 9 INT, 6 FUM) a veteran leader, looks very confused as his wobbly balls down field time and time again fail to hit their spots.
