McGahee was off to a hot start against the Chargers, rushing for 55 yards on seven carries in just over a quarter of play.
Fantasy Impact: He also caught one pass for 18 yards, so it was disappointing to see such an early exit after he was tearing up San Diego’s defense early. Ronnie Hillman saw 12 carries in McGahee’s stead, while Lance Ball took just six handoffs.
Hillman is likely the back you’ll want to grab if you can, as his upside is much higher than Ball’s. We’ll know more about McGahee’s status soon.
