Danario Alexander signs his RFA tender with the Chargers
After losing wide receiver Vincent Jackson last year as a unrestricted free agent, the Chargers have managed to maintain restricted free agent Danario Alexander. Michael Gehlken of the UT San Diego reports that the receiver signed his $1.323 million tender. This is great news for Philip Rivers, who historically has performed better when he had receivers at least 6’5...
High Priced FAs Are A Mixed Bag
Every year we build our free agent “Wish List” that will turn a weakness into a strength in one fell swoop. Every year the front office at PBS marks those names off of their list, replacing them with guys who elicit groans, tirades, or questions (“Hey Mike, who the **** is…?”) Free agency is built for the big splash, the daring move, the lauded signing. Yet the Bengals...
Dangers of opening wallets for WRs
Mike Wallace has blazing speed that can char a secondary.
Nobody in the NFL caught more passes of 40-plus yards between 2007 and 2011 than Greg Jennings.
They are the two most attractive wide receivers in the upcoming class of unrestricted free agents.
But based upon the history of the position, it may prove a costly mistake to ink either to the big-money contracts both are expected...
Chargers announce new coaches
If you thought San Diego’s signing of the former Denver Broncos OC Mike McCoy was a solid deal last week, the experience got heftier. The Chargers strengthened their staff with another one this evening by adding the 62-year-young Fred Graves. The new receivers coach will hone the hands and sharpen the routes of the young and promising receiving corps that feature Eddie Royal, Robert...
Chargers will fire Norv Turner and A.J. Smith
Reportedly the San Diego Chargers will clean house at the end of the season.
Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego reports that general manager A.J. Smith and coach Norv Turner will be fired at the end of the season. According to Acce's sources, Chargers president Dean Spanos "essentially decided this a month ago that Turner's time was drawing to a rapid close."
Unlike...
Chargers Juggle WR’s: Floyd Becomes the Z
Re-Charging Wideouts
When the San Diego Chargers lost Vincent Jackson to the Buccaneers in free agency, the team quickly responded with the signing of Robert Meachem. With a history of losing high quality talent to opposing teams, the Chargers knee-jerk reaction of acquiring the former Saints WR got a pity laugh from me back in the off-season.
Fast forward to week 11, Robert Meachem has...
Danario Alexander Draws Start for San Diego
Chargers receiver Danario Alexander is starting over Robert Meachem Sunday but both are expected to see "sufficient snaps." SOURCE: Michael Gehlken, San Diego Union-TribuneFantasy Spin:We like Alexander's talent but we're going to have to see him produce before we can recommend him as a fantasy option. So far, only Malcom Floyd has been worth owning among San Diego receivers.
Meachem Active For San Diego
Chargers receiver Robert Meachem (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.Fantasy Spin:The receiver just hasn't clicked with Philip Rivers this season but if ever there was a game for him to put up fantasy-worthy numbers, it is against Tampa Bay. Meachem might be worth a flier.
Waiver Wire: Danario Alexander
Norv promised me Juan…
The Chargers brought in Danario Alexander last week and he instantly started and produced for them. With injuries to both Eddie Royal and Robert Meachem, someone had to step in. Alexander did that.
“Danario’s going to play,” Turner said. “He’s going to be a big part of what we do. He earned that right last night. It gives us another guy, and...
Royal, Meachem inactive for Chargers vs Chiefs
San Diego wide receivers Eddie Royal and Robert Meachem are inactive for the Chargers' game against the Kansas City Chiefs because of hamstring injuries.
Also inactive for the Chargers on Thursday night are cornerback Chris Carr, safety Brandon Taylor, linebackers Larry English and Jonas Mouton, and tight end Ladarius Green.
Danario Alexander was expected to start in Meachem...
Chargers' Meachem, Royal questionable for Thursday's game
The San Diego Chargers' struggling aerial attack might be short-handed Thursday night against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. The team went through its final practice Wednesday, with wide receivers Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal not participating. Both are battling hamstring issues, and if they can't go Thursday, two of the team's top three wide receivers would be...
Browns players not shy about celebrating
CLEVELAND -- At long last, after decades of study and research, an existential question can be answered:
Can a team punt nine times in a row and still win?
More to the point, can a team score in the first quarter, punt nine times the rest of the game and win?
The answer, of course, is yes.
Because the Browns did just that Sunday in beating San Diego 7-6 on a blustery, rainy day in...
Vincent Brown Expected To Return Week 9
Chargers receiver Vincent Brown is expected to return from his ankle injury Week 9 against the Chiefs according to Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego.Fantasy Spin:Brown absorbed 19 catches for 329 yards as a rookie last season. Robert Meachem hasn't developed into the go-to guy San Diego was hoping for in the absence of Vincent Jackson, so Brown should see a good amount of targets when...
Robert Meachem Breaks Out vs. Saints
Chargers receiver Robert Meachem finally broke out Sunday night, catching three passes for 67 yards and two touchdown passes against his former team, the New Orleans Saints.Fantasy Spin:We're still not sold on Meachem as a viable fantasy receiver. He only has nine receptions in five games, going catchless in two of them. And if anyone should know how to beat the Saints' coverage...
Mucho Frio: Robert Meachem
I got paid Juan, I’m not arguing…
Robert Meachem was touted as a #1 WR by the Chargers this offseason when the brought him in as a free agent this offseason. The problem is that he is not a #1 WR. Even with Philip Rivers slingin’ it, Meachem can’t get it going.
He has 6/92 on the season and has thrown up 2 donuts already this season. It looks like the inconsistency...
Atlanta Falcons (2-0) at San Diego Chargers (2-0)
Atlanta Falcons (2-0) at San Diego Chargers (2-0)
The Chargers are one of just six 2-0 teams left in the NFL. Have they conquered their early season woes? They certainly look good. They’ve used 7 of their last 8 picks in the first 3 rounds on defensive players and it seems to have paid off while veterans like Quentin Jammer and Shaun Phillips seem to be holding things together...
San Diego Chargers: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 8 (+1)
Record: 2-0
No, I’m not convinced the Chargers have suddenly become good in the 1st half of the season. The Raiders and the Titans suck. They’ll have a test this week when Atlanta comes to town. That being said, I think this is still the favorite in the AFC West. The Broncos are not a finished product, as you saw in Monday Night, and they have a tougher schedule...
The Saints’ offense is missing Robert Meachum
The New Orleans Saints had one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL led by Drew Brees over the last six seasons and the Saints lost key players over the course of those seasons like Reggie Bush and found replacements for Bush with Darren Sproles for example, but the loss of Robert Meachum this past offseason, showed against the Redskins and possibly will lead the Saints out of...

Revamped receiving corps gives Chargers options
The San Diego Chargers aren't asking any single receiver to replace Vincent Jackson, who signed a $55.5 million contract with Tampa Bay.
Quarterback Philip Rivers has plenty to work with in training camp after the Chargers imported four NFL veterans - wide receiver Robert Meachem and returners Eddie Royal, Roscoe Parrish and Micheal Spurlock - and retained Malcom Floyd and Vincent...

Robert Meachem Dealing With Knee Injury
According to San Diego Union-Tribune writer Michael Gehlken, Chargers wide receiver Robert Meachem left Wednesday's practice with a knee injury.Fantasy Spin:Though not expected to be serious, any time away from learning a new offense will hurt his productivity. Meachem joins Malcom Floyd, Vincent Brown and aging, but still elite tight end Antonio Gates. Unless we hear that the...
Saints Nation: Adrian Arrington Not Going Away Easily So Far in Camp
It's still very early in camp but all accounts suggest Adrian Arrington is having a fantastic one so far. The departure of Robert Meachem to the Chargers this offseason has opened the door wide for someone to step up and become the Saints' fourth receiver. Arrington's ability to hang around the roster appeared to be coming to an end with the emergence of Joe Morgan last...
Chargers Position Analysis: Is Meachem a Viable Number One Option?
Last year, the Chargers receiving core was lead by veteran Vincent Jackson, who ranked the teams second in receptions with 60, and lead the team in receiving yards and TD's.
With the loss of Jackson to the Buccaneers in free agency, the Chargers needed a new a solution at the wide receiver position.
The Chargers WR situation will be centered around the biggest offseason...
