Danario Alexander was held catch-less in the Chargers' Week 15 loss to the Panthers. He was targeted three times. Philip Rivers had no time to throw against a swarming Carolina defense, and was inaccurate on the rare occasions he did. It's hindsight analysis at this point, but San Diego's offensive dysfunction was bound to catch up to Alexander in the box score. It did -- with a thud -- in fantasy semifinals week. Facing Antonio Cromartie's Jets in Week 16, Alexander will be a riskier roll of the dice in title games.

Wow, I bought into all the hype this week. I picked up Alexander, David Wilson and Lions D/ST and left Sproles, Lloyd, 49ers D/ST and Janikowski all on my bench. Thanks to Brady, Peterson, Marshall, and Pitta I still have a chance to make the championship game. Always play your studs!

That's always good advice, thinking too much will only get you a loss more times than not. The hype is sometimes just the hype.

this wasnt hype...DX had six good games in a row.

6? You should recheck your stats there bro, he had three games out of six with 10 points or less. He has potential but he's not a for sure every week start by any means.

If you have Johnson, Bryant and Garcon I can and will. Alexander isn't the problem, it's Rivers. I'm not trusting him to get Alexander the ball enough when the championship is on the line.
