Fantasy Football

The Facts:
It appears Tomlinson’s groin injury will not allow him to play against Pittsburgh on Saturday. The RB missed Friday’s practice and hasn’t been able to participate all week. The Chargers listed Tomlinson as doubtful Friday for their divisional-round matchup with the Steelers. Reported by NFL.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
No real surprise there after Tomlinson characterized himself as doubtful earlier in the week. Darren Sproles, Michael Bennett and perhaps to a lesser degree Jacob Hester will pick up the slack. ... Also TE Antonio Gates also hasn’t practiced this week, but is listed as questionable with an ankle/Achilles injury. Kicker Nate Kaeding (groin) is probable.
