Ryan Mathews to get around 25 touches tonight, hopes to reward fantasy owners
The Chargers expect Ryan Mathews to get around 25 touches against the Broncos on MNF. We break down the fantasy implications.
Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire
Mathews has 185 rushing yards, one TD and 5.1 YPC as he battled injuries and ball control issues.
Fantasy Impact: We should be wary of predicting things like touches because the game state is way too fluid to stick to an arbitrary number like that, but it’s good to hear that Norv Turner is finally willing to let his workhorse back be a workhorse back.
Mathews is an easy RB1 talent and he should be starting in all fantasy leagues going forward.
