The Thursday night NFL matchup between the Chargers and Broncos is a critical one for playoff purposes, but there’s not a ton of great fantasy starting options from the game.

Last week, Thursday Night Football was pretty brutal. The Los Angeles Rams edged out the San Francisco 49ers in a field goal fest that took place in an unexpected rain storm.
