| Knee - Probable for Week 6 vs. New England (Updated - 10/10/08) |
| Fantasy Analysis |
| New England has been very good against the pass this season, allowing just 175.2 yards per game through the air with five interceptions and six touchdowns against. Consider Jackson a No. 3 Fantasy WR for this matchup if Chambers can't go, but otherwise he's a tough sell. |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Those numbers don't bode very well for Rivers or his receiving options. But the Patriots defense has had some changes since those meetings. This season, New England has still been very good against the pass, allowing just 175.2 yards per game through the air with five interceptions and six touchdowns against. According to The Sports Xchange, Rivers suffered bruised ribs Week 5 at Miami, which might account for his passes that were uncharacteristically off-kilter; he was 13-for-28 for 159 yards and a score. He's still worth activating in any Fantasy format, but be aware of these factors working against him. |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Gates caught just one pass for 12 yards in a Week 5 loss to the Dolphins, so he'll be looking to bounce back in a big way for this high-profile matchup. Philip Rivers has not had very good numbers against the Patriots, but Gates should be able to catch some passes up the middle of the field. Continue to view him as a must-start Fantasy TE. |

| Injury Report |
| Ankle - Doubtful for Week 6 vs. New England (Updated - 10/10/08) |
| Fantasy Analysis |
| Chambers is averaging 20.5 yards per catch in 2008 and has become a nice deep threat for QB Philip Rivers. Nearly half of his catches this season have gone for touchdowns, making Chmabers a nice No. 3 Fantasy WR when healthy. But it appears as though he will need to be kept reserved Week 6. |

| Injury Report |
| Toe - Probable for Week 6 vs. New England (Updated - 10/10/08) |
| Fantasy Analysis |
| Considering the state of his game and his offensive line, the Patriots should be able to contain him, even though they're allowing 4.9 rush yards per carry. That number is inflated a bit after Ronnie Brown's performance against them in Week 3. He's still one of the more talented backs in this league, and we understand that it's tough to sit him, but if you are an owner with luxurious depth at running back, it's not a crazy idea to sit him this week for a back who appears to be more of a sure thing for big points this week. That said, he remains someone who should be starting across the board in Fantasy as a No. 1 RB. |
