The Facts:
Alexander was one of the few bright spots for the San Diego Chargers last season. They're crossing their fingers he'll be around in 2013. The Sideline View's Adam Caplan reports the team is planning to use the low ("original-round") tender on the 24-year-old wideout.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Marc Sessler explained, the original-round tender would allow the Chargers to match any offer floated Alexander's way, but if they choose not to match, they'll receive nothing in return, because Alexander went undrafted. Sessler went on to suggest this is surprising because earlier reports suggested the Chargers might use their first-round tender on Alexander, which would all but guarantee he'd be back. Alexander, despite a history of knee surgeries, turned it on for the Chargers last season, pulling down 37 catches for 658 yards and seven touchdowns. All of that production came over the final 10 weeks of the season and was a welcome sight in the face of Robert Meachem's disappearing act. ... Stay tuned. It'll be interesting to see if anybody comes up with an offer for the talented but tender wideout.
