reason to not play him this week:
1 - Champ Bailey
2 - No Gates (maybe) or Vjax (for sure) to draw coverage away from him

Doesn't Champ sometimes struggle against bigger WRs?

He does, Jerry Porter and Vjax has lit him up before. But I dont htink floyd is at their level. temper expectations of Floyd this week.

who covered bowe this last game?

that was pretty much all done against the prevent, good point but garbage time numbers dont reflect how well a CB played.
Malcolm Floyd isn't at Jerry Porter's level? That is just mean and uncalled for!

I'm putting Floyd in this week. I'm tempering expectations of course... but he can't be any worse than Moss in there.

LOL I just remember that one game where Porter did torch him.
Im getting the feeling that you guys dont think Champ is any good any more.
I remember that game as well -- IIRC it was 3 TDs. Huge. And while I don't think Floyd's a worldbeater by any stretch, I absolutely think he's better than Jerry Porter, who on the whole turned out to be a horrible WR aside from a few nice moments (many of which were when he was drawing single coverage as Rice/Brown were the #1/#2).

Agreed. Or, Matt Cassell apparently (see DBowe stat line form last week.)

I remember that game, it was in the snow. Champ is the man; I would look for options other than Floyd for a multitude of reasons.

Didn't Champ cover Gates in the earlier meeting?
I may have to start Floyd, I don't like my other options. If Gates plays, I think I will.

I've owned him all season and have followed his injury status closely on google and twitter. I have read nothing about this supposed detached hamstring and am skeptical that you have, either. Got a link for that?
Haha whoa that time of the month for you or something?I am probably starting Floyd this week BTW, and pretty much with confidence. Rivers is playing out of his mind and Floyd will be his deep guy. I say 90 yards and a score.

If by earlier meeting you mean last season, yes. But Den vs SD has not happened yet this year.

Sorry, man, I couldn't resist!Between Floyd and Bowe, I've guessed wrong most of the season. Might as well continue that trend and start Bowe over Floyd this weekend.
Not closely enough. Warm up your apology: http://www.nctimes.com/sports/football/pro...a00506db7d.htmlMalcom Floyd thought his season was over four Sundays ago in St. Louis. The Chargers top receiver injured his hamstring late in a 20-17 loss to the Rams, tearing the muscle so severely that he thought the team wouldn't let him continue with a career year.
Long snapper David Binn suffered a similar injury in the season opener and linebacker Antwan Applewhite tore his hamstring early in 2009. The Chargers put both players on injured reserve.
"When I first popped it, I knew I was in big trouble," Floyd said after Wednesday's practice. "I thought for sure they were going to put me on IR. They told me how bad it was, and while they said it wasn't as bad as Dave Binn's tear; the percentage of the muscle that got torn was pretty close. It was almost completely off the bone."That was a terrible turn for Floyd. He had 213 receiving yards the week before, helping establish his status as a true go-to receiver. Floyd had proved himself a reliable No. 1 threat, able to produce despite a steady dose double teams.
The injury was a setback, but it wasn't a death blow. The Chargers were patient with the injury, and Floyd is on the cusp of returning to action. Floyd has tested the hamstring with speed work, quick cuts and change-of-direction drills. So far, Floyd hasn't had any setbacks.
He didn't rush the rehab process, waiting for the muscle to heal before pushing himself. Now he's on schedule to return Nov. 22 against Denver and continue a season so close to ending early.
"They gave me a four-to-six week rehab, and this game was a target date," Floyd said. "I wanted to come back earlier, but this is something you just can't rush. Another setback and I could've been done for the year. I didn't want to be in that boat."

Thanks for the article. I own Floyd and didn't notice this either. Is there reason to worry the Chargers have brought him back too soon?
That article says the Chargers gave him a 4-6 week timetable for his return, why was this not reported publicly? Or did I just miss this? I have been checking his status week to week, if they had just come out and given that timetable it would have saved people a lot of time. And I am not saying just fantasy owners time, Chargers reporters every day would report Floyd not practicing, his status, etc.

Anyone rolling with Floyd?
From a San Diego Tribune article;
"Also Friday, wide receiver Malcom Floyd had something of a setback, but there remains optimism he will play Monday. A day after practicing full, Floyd was limited on Friday after experiencing soreness in his hamstring.
Said Turner: “We do have a little bit of time to get him some rest and hopefully he’ll be all right.”"

I'm going to need something a little more definitive than "hopefully he'll be alright" before I plug Floyd in again. Barring some good news later today, it's a little too scary to start him.

I'm in the exact same boat. Debating between those two and Fred Jackson at the flex spot.
I don't know it seems like Floyd is ok, he has practiced all week and just had one day where he was limited with some soreness. But it was just that, soreness... That is to be expected when you have a pretty major hammy injury right? I'm starting Floyd and not overly worried about it.

This is my thinking as of right now. I had him in until I saw the above article. I can't take a goose egg. If he makes it through this game then I'll start him next week.

I wouldn't start him next week either. Vincent Jackson will be back and that means alot less balls for Floyd.

And a lot less attention from defenders...works both ways

The coaches don't care about that crap. they will play whoever gives them the best chance to win. Jackson has been practicing with the team since Nov. 3, it's not like he has been sitting on his butt.

The best thing Vincent Jackson can do for Vincent Jackson is to go out the rest of the year and bust his ###, showing why he deserves a big paycheck. The best thing the coaching staff can do for the coaching staff is to turn the season around and play their best players. From what is being said in practice, that is clearly Vincent Jackson. The best thing for ownership is to make the playoffs. They won't interfere with the coaches trying to do just that.
Translation: VJax is a #1 wr the minute he steps on the field.

Man I really do want to start Floyd this week. On paper this has the looks of a shootout. But a Monday night game could be good or bad if you don't have any charger receivers or broncos receivers to throw in if he is indeed scratched. He gets an extra day of rest is a good. I am leaning to go with Johnson on Revis Island over Floyd at this point. Tough call this week

Looking at FBG rankings its apparent they think he isnt going to play. I think he will be out there. Anything new on his status for week 12?

All I have seen show he will play,but nothing concrete. It is tough since it is a night game. Any information would be helpful.
