Shawne Merriman of the San Diego Chargers has decided to have surgery on his knee and will miss the rest of the season. Merriman played in Week 1 with two partially torn ligaments in his knee.
In the offseason, Shawne Merriman contemplated surgery but decided against it. A week into the 2008 NFL season, Merriman has switched gears and will proceed with the reconstructive surgery.
With Merriman out for the season, this makes the San Diego Chargers fantasy defense less valuable. Merriman is the player who attacked the quarterback and caused havoc on the field. While the Chargers D will still be ranked as a top ten fantasy defense, they are no longer one of the elite.
In Week 1, the Chargers suffered a last second defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers. With this bad news regarding Merriman, it might be best to wait a few weeks before starting San Diego D on your 2008 fantasy football team.
