Shaun Phillips, OLB SD
News: Chargers LB Shaun Phillips, who recorded his first two sacks last week at Kansas City, picked up two more Week 8 against the Raiders. He also had three tackles, including two solo, and a forced fumble.	Analysis: Phillips is beginning to come around after a slow start. He had 7 1/2 sacks last year and has a career high of 11 1/2, so he's fully capable of maintaining this pace. He deserves a look again as a No. 2 or 3 LB in Fantasy IDP leagues.

Shaun Phillips, OLB SD
News: The San Diego city attorney's office says Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips won't be charged in a case in which he was accused of striking a security guard in the face at a downtown hotel in late April. Phillips was cited by police for misdemeanor battery after a security guard at the Ivy Hotel said the player hit him. City attorney's spokeswoman Gina Coburn said that after an investigation, the city attorney's office declined to prosecute Phillips, adding via e-mail Wednesday that officials didn't believe there was enough evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.	Analysis: Good news for Phillips, who probably avoids suspension with this news. He's a decent pass rusher who gets decent stat totals but is nothing more than a low-end No. 3 Fantasy LB worth a late-round pick.

Analysis: Phillips now has 62 tackles and 6.5 sacks on the year for the Chargers. He's never broken 70 tackles in a season and looks like a lock to that this year.

News: Chargers LB Shaun Phillips had four tackles (two solo) and 1 1/2 sacks during a Week 4 win against the Raiders. He also had two quarterback hits and has 2 1/2 sacks in his last two games.	Analysis: Tucker appears to be over a groin injury that slowed him some in the last few weeks and is getting after the quarterback. There are more sacks to be had now that Shawne Merriman (knee) is done for the season. But since he has never broken 70 tackles, Phillips remains a low-end Fantasy LB.

LB Phillips stays with Bolts	Updated 2/20/2007
Shaun Phillips, OLB SD
News: It's been a busy couple of days for the Chargers defense. Earlier this week, they named Ted Cottrell their defensive coordinator and ex-Bears defensive boss Ron Rivera their linebackers coach. On Tuesday, the team signed LB Shaun Phillips to a six-year contract extension that keeps him in San Diego through 2012. "Shaun is an integral part of our defense," said GM A.J. Smith. "He is a great pass rusher and last year he solidified his talents as an outstanding player against both the run and the pass. His play and his production speak for themselves. He made a lot of big plays for us last year that helped us win football games, and I'm excited to have the opportunity to watch him continue to do that over the years to come."	Analysis: Phillips had a good 2006 season and ranks as a quality Fantasy LB reserve heading into 2007, especially with Donnie Edwards likely out of the picture in San Diego.
