San Diego, CA. The San Diego Chargers are without a doubt, one of the most confusing franchises in all of sports. In recent years, they seem to always start the year slowly, wake up mid-season, and finish strong only to come up short in December or January. They have also proven to be a team who cannot be figured out, as they typically win games they should lose, and lose games...

Chiefs' Charles back in charge after knee injury
(Eds: With AP Photos.) By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer There were moments when Jamaal Charles wasn't sure whether he'd ever be the same.
Might have been during rehab, when he was trying to squeeze out one more repetition with his surgically repaired left knee. Or when he took a handoff from Matt Cassel in practice, and the All-Pro running back would make a cut at the line...

Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel and OC Brian Daboll have a much different strategy regarding top back Jamaal Charles than former coach Todd Haley had.

The AFC West is getting worse than the Big Ten these days and that is thanks to both of the favorites performing like duds lately.
Philip Rivers and the Chargers offense has been a joke without a healthy Ryan Mathews in the backfield, but they should be in contention for a division title all season long.
Rivers has 4 TD and 3 INT, but 688 yards are skewed numbers once you realize...

Defense is key for this team. If they can play good defense, it will allow them to unleash Jamaal Charles and take the pressure off of Matt Cassel. Charles had a huge game last week and looked every bit the back he was in 2010 before his injury, only Todd Haley is no longer the coach so they are now utilizing him properly. However, the defense was horrendous...

Looks like the Chargers aren’t over their early season woes. They beat two crappy teams in week 1 and 2, but much like last year, they got destroyed once they played a real opponent. Last year they started 4-1, beating crappy teams, most of them by small margins, but lost 6 straight once the schedule got harder. Before last year...

So tell me how it could be that his injury could hurt so many fantasy teams going forward?
