The Facts:
According to NFL Network insider Adam Schefter, Thigpen, Minnesota's seventh-round pick in 2007, has impressed Kansas City enough to make the Chiefs think he could challenge for, and even win, the team's starting job.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 6-1, 224-pound Thigpen impressed the Chiefs throughout last year, but especially in Week 13 when he drove the Chiefs down field on one drive against San Diego before throwing an interception in the endzone. With a good arm and a strong presence, Schefter believes Thigpen has impressed them enough to make them think he could unseat Brodie Croyle as the starter in Kansas City.
