The former first-round pick out of LSU had only four catches for 59 yards this season. (SportsBuff.com)

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)

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)

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)

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

Don't take the chance with him. (SportsBuff.com)

If he's able to start, Cromartie makes a pretty good IDP option against the pass-happy Saints. (SportsBuff.com)

Davis was going to benefit from Chambers' injury the most, however, his own injury has opened the door for Malcom Floyd.

LT may not bust any long runs but with the weather conditions like they are should see 25-30 carries, maybe more depending on the Chargers situation. (SportsBuff.com)

Jackson has all the physical tools a top WR needs, now if he can put it all together fantasy owners will have a dream come true. (SportsBuff.com)

Chambers' injury has opened the door for Floyd to try to gain more looks in the future. (SportsBuff.com)

Chambers' injury will open the door for Malcom Floyd and Vincent Jackson to get more looks. (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)

Gates is a solid option at TE but comes with a lofty price tag. The overall success of any offense usually dictates the productivity of the TE. (SportsBuff.com)

LT will try to get on track this week in London. His lingering health issues are still there so he is a risky play considering his price tag. (SportsBuff.com)

Rivers will again post good fantasy numbers this week against the Saints. The lack of production from LT has meant increased productivity from Rivers. (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)

It wasn't nearly as big a day as last week, but it's tough to complain when a No. 3 fantasy receiver comes away with a touchdown. (SportsBuff.com)

Floyd might have done enough over the past two games to earn a larger role even after Chambers returns to the lineup. He's certainly worth adding at this point. (SportsBuff.com)

PPR leaguers could at least enjoy his six catches on Sunday, but Tomlinson isn't doing much to help fantasy owners right now. Let's hope that he can get right after the Week 9 bye, though there's still one more game before that point. (SportsBuff.com)

The passing numbers appear to be pretty typical for Rivers at this point, which make them a bit disappointing against a defense missing its No. 1 corner (Terrence McGee) and top pass rusher (Aaron Schobel). The three turnovers, obviously, don't help anyone. (SportsBuff.com)

It might not be until Week 10 -- after the Week 9 bye -- that owners can consider using Chambers again. (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)

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)

Taking on Buffalo in Buffalo is never an easy task, but Rivers should do well again this week. I look for him to hang at least a 20 on the board. (SportsBuff.com)
