There's a good chance I'm out of touch with this division because I live in AFC North country, but it just doesn't seem terribly strong. Again, this is another division in which I am very low on fantasy players. A few players I want from this division...actually, let's just get to the picks.
1) Denver Broncos
Me, my friends and my sister are all in love with Jay Cutler. Something about him makes him so much less obnoxious than the Matt Leinarts of the world (and there are tons). John Glenn brought up the point that maybe playing for Vanderbilt and having the SEC drink his milkshake on a weekly basis has toughened the kid up. His first few years have not been easy and he still hasn't even done a thing to receive even an invite to Team Doucheman tryouts. I also think it's possible for a team to be 9-7 in this division and win it...at least there's a chance.
Bronco Buddies: None (sadly)
2) San Diego Chargers
Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson both received Team Doucheman invites last season. Sheesh, for someone who used to be known as one of the classiest players in football, LaDainian sure is a sore loser. He's almost become a T.O. type player who I wouldn't want to pick for my fantasy team because I don't want to root for him. What happened?? That last two SD seasons have ended with a grown man pouting on the sideline and/or at a podium. Although I appreciated Philip Rivers playing the Pats tough with a torn ACL, he's still a loudmouth a-hole and, in all honesty, you can play quarterback with one ACL. It's time for this whining Schottenheimer-firing team to get it's just due. No playoffs.
Buddies' Fantasy: Vincent Jackson and Darren Sproles
3) Oakland Raiders
Oakland is becoming the Chicago Bulls of a few years ago with rookies or second year players you remember vividly and all from big name schools. I doubt Oakland can be good, but McFadden and Fargas is not a bad combo and JaMarcus Russell looks much better than Vince Young to me at this point. They also have an unbelievable pass defense which people sometimes don't notice because it's Oakland. Now that I'm thinking about it, I almost want to pick them ahead of the Chargers but I won't. I think 7-9 third place finish will be a success for this team.
Buddies' Raiders: None
4) Kansas City Chiefs
Oh man...The Chiefs are...a non team. I'm not big on Herm Edwards or Larry Johnson. This is going to be a team with a below average quarterback and a great Tight End so you know exactly what you're going to be watching with this team and it will not be interesting. Boooorrrinnng.
Buddies' Chiefs: No way man.
