If you haven't checked out my Playoff Primer: Strength of Schedule, make sure you give it a look. Definitely worth your time.
Can we just talk for a second about how much I hate Thursday night games. We have gotten into a rhythm for nine weeks. And now all of a sudden we have to scramble our lineups and our picks three days earlier than usual! And for what? For a game to be broadcast only on one channel that nobody subscribes to? Awful.

So, the week of planning for your fantasy team is rushed and sloppy. You don't have a weekend to marinate. If you play in pick'em leagues or are still alive in a survival league then you are screwed and rushing on Thursday morning because you forgot that an extra game was added. I disapprove as a fantasy fan and an NFL fan.
Anyways, I don't expect a lot out of tonights game. San Diego is going to have the stars here. Back to back great weeks for Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates. A bit worried about the Ryan Mathews injury, but he should be able to slice the Oakland defense. With Mathews back, Tolbert falls, but is always a chance for a goal line score.
On Oakland's side of the ball, I think the WRs are too risky to really count on unless you're desperate. Carson Palmer is the same way. Only good starter that I can see here is Michael Bush, and that is at WR2 or Flex.
For the record Jordan, MGLS and I all have San Diego to win. Shocker. Sorry, I'm bitter. NFL Network thinks they're better than me. On to the rankings! Feel free to ask your lineup questions here.
