The Facts:
Two days before the Chargers begin training camp, GM A.J. Smith is operating under the assumption that the team will be without the services of two top players. WR Vincent Jackson and LT Marcus McNeill are expected to hold out for an extended period. Speaking about McNeill and Jackson, Smith said Wednesday that he has been told that the two players will be “out for a considerable amount of time.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith said he, at this point, is expecting that both McNeill and Jackson will hold out for the first 10 games of the regular season and
then report to accrue an NFL season. “We’re preparing for that. If we get that back after 10 games, then we’ll deal with that," Smith said. The high-end contract extension Antonio Gates signed on Wednesday making him the league's highest-paid TE (
see previous) probably won't sit well with either of the holdouts. Making matters worse -- from a Fantasy perspective -- is the fact McNeill is said to be ahead of Jackson on the team's list of priorities. Malcom Floyd, Legedu Naanee and Craig Davis are looking like the top three options unless and/or until Jackson returns.
