Chambers off to good start
The numbers from Chris Chambers' debut don't leap off the page: two catches, 35 yards, and a touchdown. But in the context of Philip Rivers' 11 pass attempts, Chambers' day doesn't look so bad. He had five pass targets, with three for Antonio Gates, and one for Vincent Jackson. Chambers also got behind the defense once for what would have been a long touchdown, but Rivers missed him.
It's only one game, but it's a good start for Chambers in San Diego and discouraging news for Jackson owners. I would still play both Chambers and Jackson next week as WR3s because of the matchup against Minnesota.

Is Chambers a good buy-low candidate?
Similarly, is MJD a good sell-sort-of-high candidate?

I think MJD is a decent sell candidate. Chambers - I wouldnt go after him necessarily.

V. Jackson has been an enigma for me all season...to the point where I am scared to start him for fear of the 1 catch for 5 yds he is fully capable of putting up...my other WR are Curtis, OrchDork, and L. Evans...any reason to hold on to Jackson, or should I dump him for Hackett?

MR - I had Vincent Jackson and found that he only performed well when I didn't start him. I dumped him early on and would recommend the same to anyone else.
Would you start Chambers against MIN, G. Jennings vs KC, or Mason vs. PIT?
