Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The surgery, which will be performed Thursday by noted Birmingham, Ala., orthopedic specialist James Andrews, is expected to sideline the Chargers' starter four months. It will almost certainly preclude San Diego from trading backup Philip Rivers and could complicate Brees' contract negotiations.
