Nov 10, 2015 03:25 PM EST

Chicago Bears

Alshon Jeffery (Wide Receiver): Jeffery has become a monster since being fully healthy. Jeffery dominated through the air hauling in 10 out of 16 targets for 151 yards. Even while staying out of the end zone Jeffery in PPR leagues had a terrific day.

Jeremy Langford (Running Back): Langford showed the Bears that they had a future star in the making as he took over for the injured Matt Forte. Langford had 18 carries that gained 72 yards and a rushing touchdown as well as a 2 point conversion. He also had some big production in the passing game catching 3 out of 4 targets for 70 yards.

San Diego Chargers

Malcom Floyd/Stevie Johnson (Wide Receivers): Floyd at 34 years old suffered a shoulder injury and did not return to the game. Floyd's shoulder could possibly be dislocated and he could end up missing some time. Johnson did not do much to fill the void of Keenan Allen as he only caught 7 out of 10 targets for 68 yards.

Antonio Gates (Tight End): Gates was clearly still dealing with his knee injury and struggled mightily on the field. Gates caught 8 of his 11 targets for 69 yards but could not move down the field as well as he normally does.

Melvin Gordon/Danny Woodhead (Running Backs): Woodhead filled the void in the passing game by catching 6 of his 10 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown. He also carried the ball 6 times for 33 yards. Woodhead should be the main target in the passing game going forward. As for Gordon he had 11 rushing attempts that gained 31 yards and caught all 3 of his targets for 25 yards.

Phillip Rivers (Quarterback): Rivers had a game that was not quite up to the standard he has set for himself. Rivers only completed 26 of his 42 passing attempts; he still however gained 280 yards through the air but only 1 touchdown.
