Gonzalez now has 55 receptions for 583 yards so far this season and is a must-start against Buffalo in Week 12. (SportsBuff.com)

Bowe has been coming on strong lately with at least six receptions in four of his last five games. The two touchdowns gives Bowe five the season. (SportsBuff.com)

Thigpen was picked off once but he has now thrown for over 200 yards in three of his last four games, with eight touchdown passes over that span. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson finally returned to the field after missing four games and played well. Johnson and the Chiefs are home to the Bills in Week 12. Consider him a RB2 against Buffalo. (SportsBuff.com)

It would be very risky at best to start McFadden this week, especially against a decently tough Miami defense. It would be nice to have McFadden as a real fantasy option down the stretch, though. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson was off to a great start this season but injuries and off-field issues has led him to miss the last four games. Johnson should definitely be in your starting lineup against New Orleans but keep your expectations in check. (SportsBuff.com)

If you were ever considering starting a Raider this week, your team is in obvious trouble. (SportsBuff.com)

Fantasy owners should already be operating under the impression that McFadden will offer nothing for the rest of this season. He's worth keeping around on the bench, though, if you have enough spots. (SportsBuff.com)

If his team could establish even minimal consistency on offense, Miller could become a solid fantasy tight end. Unfortunately, he plays for the Raiders. (SportsBuff.com)

That's a decent average compared with his previous numbers. There's only so much a running back can do if the team isn't giving him the ball. (SportsBuff.com)

Guess it's not time to give Russell a try as a fantasy quarterback yet. (SportsBuff.com)

Small numbers like that are going to occur on occassion, especially when you're quarterback has had three outings in which he only completed 14 passes. Bowe continues to carry solid value, though it could hurt if Mark Bradley continues to take away some catches. (SportsBuff.com)

Charles is an explosive runner with tremendous speed who will probably be picked up in nearly all leagues this week where he wasn't previously owned. Be cautious about starting the rookie, though he could be solid against the Chargers. (SportsBuff.com)

The starting job now figures to fall to rookie Jamaal Charles, at least until/unless Larry Johnson gets back on the field. (SportsBuff.com)

He has caught nine balls over the past two games and quickly turned into a fantasy sleeper. A breakout was always expected from Bradley in Chicago, so maybe he's finally ready for one with the Chiefs, provided he can stay healthy. (SportsBuff.com)

All in all, an excellent day for the Chiefs third-string quarterback. He's going to have to find plenty more passing success before we can start giving him fantasy looks, though. (SportsBuff.com)

He's a good IDP play against the Falcons. (SportsBuff.com)

If there's a nice-looking option on the waiver wire, it might be time to give up on Johnson. (SportsBuff.com)

A matching pair of protective boots doesn't generally portend rushing success. It's not time to cut McFadden just yet, but it's also not safe to consider playing him. (SportsBuff.com)

Spread offense or not, the Chiefs are still in disarray and their players not named Tony Gonzalez and Dewayne Bowe remain risky starts. (SportsBuff.com)

With Johnson now formally charged I would expect Chiefs coach Herm Edwards to continue to sit Johnson.(SportsBuff.com)

This by no means should make anyone start Thigpen. Odds are he is more than likely going to revert back to his old INT prone ways. (SportsBuff.com)

Gonzalez is stuck in Kansas City but continues to produce. He is one of the few Chiefs worth starting every week. (SportsBuff.com)

Bowe has all the makings of a top WR, he just needs a consistent team around him to give him more TD opportunities. (SportsBuff.com)

Russell has remained very inconsistent in the first half of the season. His fantasy numbers have been mediocre at best but the recent emergence of veteran wide receiver Javon Walker could provide some help for his numbers. (SportsBuff.com)

Oakland will have trouble moving the ball in Week 8 against Baltimore so be cautious about starting any Raider. Walker could be a nice player to consider down the stretch, just not this week. (SportsBuff.com)

McFadden has been used sparingly in this his rookie season. The Raiders face a stout Baltimore defense this week so you might want to keep McFadden on the bench. (SportsBuff.com)

Unless Bowe can find a way to start throwing the ball to himself, leave him off your starting line-up. Bowe is a very risky play in any fantasy format. (SportsBuff.com)

Smith is a desperation play at best. The Jets employ a pretty good run defense and the Chiefs have no quarterback talent to help open up the field for the ground game. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson has lost all the momentum he had from his break-out season of 2006. Even when he is on the field, he is a very risky play because he, and the Chiefs, are in such a state of chaos. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson seems to be trying very hard to take himself off the field for the rest of the season. Any owner who has been relying on him needs to invest in Kolby Smith and/or work the trade desk. (SportsBuff.com)

Huard isn't much of a fantasy option, but he won't hurt the value of Dwayne Bowe or Tony Gonzalez. (SportsBuff.com)

Croyle has been injured almost as many times as he's played so far in the NFL. Expect the team to draft a potential challenger in April. (SportsBuff.com)

Why Gonzalez would refuse to leave the black hole that is Kansas City is anyone's guess. Expect TG's production to continue to disappoint given his team's situation. (SportsBuff.com)

If he was anywhere near your fantasy lineup anyway, you're probably out of playoff contention already. Walker might be even more of a disappointment so far than we all expected him to be when Oakland overpaid for him. (SportsBuff.com)

Pay no attention to Smith this week, as he has a bad matchup with Tennessee. Johnson wouldn't even have made a decent play here. (SportsBuff.com)

The upside here is that Johnson wouldn't have made a good fantasy play anyway against the Titans. Kolby Smith is expected to start in his place. (SportsBuff.com)

It remains to be seen whether or not Johnson will be convicted or face league punishment from commissioner Goodell. A disappointing season for Johnson and the Chiefs could get even more disappointing. (SportsBuff.com)
