Kyle Orton claimed by Chiefs

The Chiefs have claimed QB Kyle Orton off waivers.  QB Tyler Palko still figures to start Monday night's game against the Steelers, but we wouldn't be surprised if Orton was under center for Week 13.  He has a brand new offense to learn but is more experienced and more talented than Palko.  Still, we can't recommend him as anything more than an emergency option for fantasy leaguers down the stretch.  The addition is good news for WR Dwayne Bowe though.  The interesting angle here is that the Chiefs may be using this as a try-out of sorts for Orton.  He'll be a free-agent this offseason, but if he plays well the rest of this year, Kansas City might look to bring him back to compete with QB Matt Cassel.
