Schein: Playing Mr. Fix-It
Adam Schein knows what's wrong with the Chargers. He also knows how to save them and eight other troubled teams. **More ...**
Seyi Ajirotutu was signed Tuesday and will likely see plenty of action. Danario Alexander is scheduled to start, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Alexander has only played one game this year and does not have a reception.

I'd tell fantasy owners of tight end Antonio Gates to get excited at the prospect of more opportunities, but Gates has been a huge disappointment thus far. He has 21 receptions for 238 yards and two touchdowns, and just hasn't gotten the separation that he has in the past. The Chargers' receivers have played below average in 2012, and quarterback Philip Rivers will be even more challenged tonight.
