ESPN: Understanding the Injury to Chargers RB Ryan Mathews
ESPN.com While Ryan Mathews injury is a serious one we shouldn’t just drop him from our fantasy football radar.
Chargers TE Gates Torches GB Coverage
NFL.com San Diego Chargers tight-end Antonio Gates has to be the go to guy for quarterback Philip Rivers.
The Chargers let receiver Vincent Jackson hit the free agency market and he scored a big deal in Tampa Bay.
The Chargers were also active during free agency acquiring former New Orleans receiver Robert Meachem but it’s obvious that the chemistry between the two is a work in progress. While Rivers did target Meacham he was picked off by GB corner Tramon Williams.
However the biggest fantasy football news came in the early first quarter as fantasy prospect Ryan Mathews was diagnosed with a broken clavicle on his first carry of the NFL preseason.
While the news of Ryan Matthews’s injury is less than encouraging the initial estimate is out 4-6 weeks. Even if after his surgery this morning that assessment changes to eight weeks he could possibly return as by week five. So do not drop him from your draft boards rather plan for a much later pick in rounds five or six.

SI.com Well at least you haven’t drafted him yet… Oh and Michael Vick is out for the season with a broken thumb. I’m kidding but who else will be knocked out of the top ten due to injury.
The injury occurred as early the first opening drive and you can read up on that at Chargers.com.
CBSsports: Fantasy Football Podcast
CBSsports.com While the discussion opens about TB RB Doug Martin and his overall fantasy football value this podcast is all about every running-back.
How deep is the running-back position? Will their be any gems in the late rounds? Should you take a running-back with your first three picks? Will the injury history of the running-back position devalue the position in fantasy football?
I give Dave, Jamey, and even Adam credit because this may be the best podcast they have done yet this season.
If you listen to one podcast this season this is the one. GREAT PODCAST!
