The San Diego Union-Tribune - [Full Article]

Chargers WR Danario Alexander continued his tear Sunday, making seven receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns. He has led the team in receiving each of the past six games, and yet, not much has changed.

“He’s still seeing a lot of single coverage, a lot of matchups where he’s not getting the best (defensive back),” HC Norv Turner said this week. “He’s getting the third DB, and he’s taking advantage of it, and I think we’re taking advantage of it, and Philip (Rivers) is.

“Usually, what happens is it swings a little bit. When you keep playing the way he’s playing, pretty soon he starts seeing some double coverage, and then [Malcom Floyd] is getting singled or [Antonio Gates] is getting a little more singled or you’re getting the backs out of the backfield. That’s usually how it goes through a period of time when one guy is having great production.”

Ben Roethlisberger to start vs. Chargers
Thursday, December 6, 2012, 3:47pm

Steelers - [Full Article]

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will start against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, returning to action after missing the last three games with a shoulder injury.

Roethlisberger practiced for the second straight day on Thursday, and Coach Mike Tomlin was comfortable enough with what he saw to say Roethlisberger will start this week.

“He has been above the line in all areas,” said Tomlin following Thursday’s practice. “Really, the only question we can’t answer is taking a hit. Obviously that will be answered in the stadium on Sunday.

“I am extremely comfortable with his ability to work the field both vertically and horizontally. He has great velocity on his ball. We’re ready to go.”

Fantasy Impact:

We'd like to see Roethlisberger take a few hits before recommending him as a start, but his presence should upgrade the entire Pittsburgh offense.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: "RB Rashard Mendenhall will get an opportunity to redeem himself at some point . . . not now.''

Fantasy Impact:

Jonathan Dwyer was named the starter this week with Isaac Redman backing him up. Last week, Mendenhall was inactive, and that could very well be the case this week against the Chargers.

Jonathan Dwyer will start again this week

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: No change at RB this week, Jonathan Dwyer starts.

Fantasy Impact:

Everyone on the Steelers offense will be helped if Ben Roethlisberger plays this week. But the matchup for Dwyer at RB isn't great as the Chargers rank 11th in allowing fantasy points to RBs. Dwyer would be better used as a flex play if at all possible.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: WR Mike Wallace could be limited (knee) but should play.

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers are hoping to be full strength this week against the Chargers, including Ben Reothlisberger at QB. If Wallace can't go, Emmanuel Sanders would get the start next to Antonio Brown. All receivers would lose a bit of value if Charlie Batch had to play again this week at QB.
