Throwdown Primer 10/23 – Exclusive Sneak Peak at Tonight’s Boosts!

As has been the case with every Thursday Throwdown, here is your guide to the fanfare tonight. We are in store for another battle, as the Broncos and the Chargers are fighting a war over the AFC West, with Denver at 5-1 and SD at 5-2.

Here is an exclusive sneak peak at tonight’s game boosts and how they might factor in. Check back every week as the Huddle team has worked with the site to give you the goods on the Throwdowns before anyone else!

Peyton Manning – Broncos 5x

After all the attention Manning has gotten due to the record this should come as no surprise. Even with Manning overload, you cant argue with the play in recent games. He is averaging over 3 TDs per game this season, and the Chargers defense is going to be hard pressed to stop all the weapons he has.  Peyton is one QB who likely wont suffer from so little practice time, so he should have a great night despite short prep.

Verdict: Vital Piece

Demaryius Thomas – Broncos 5x

I imagine it was a hard choice between Demaryius and Julius Thomas, as both players have potential for huge points tonight.  Thomas’ last two games have both been over 150 yards and 2 TDs, and he could have a crazy night on Thursday with the short week playing in. He has already had one milestone card so far, could he be in line for another?

Verdict: Vital Piece

Antonio Gates – Chargers 5x

Like Julius Thomas, Gates is having a tremenous season, with 7 TDs already through 7 games. Pretty impressive considering he isnt a spring chicken anymore. The Broncos have given up their fair share of receiving TDs, and the Rivers to Gates connection is a powerful one.

Verdict: Worth Picking Up

Branden Oliver – Chargers 5x

The patchwork done by the Chargers in the rushing game is nothing short of impressive. Oliver has played extremely well while Donald Brown and Ryan Mathews have been out. He has averaged over 4.0 ypc, and should be a big part of the win if SD can pull it off. He has no other cards in the game, so this should be a coveted card.

Verdict: Worth Picking Up (tonight only)

Good luck tonight everyone! Cant wait to see how this game plays out.
