Ryan Mathews is likely out for Sunday's game between the San Diego Chargers and the Tennessee Titans, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Mathews is still recovering from a broken clavicle suffered in the preseason. The Chargers will rotate the rushing load among Curtis Brinkley, Ronnie Brown and Le'Ron McClain.

Fantasy Impact: Not a big surprise here. Fantasy owners should have a suitable backup option to slide into their starting lineups considering Mathews missed Week 1 as well. He could be ready to return for Week 3 so be sure to follow up on his status next week. Brinkley, Brown and McClain are all extremely risky options in standard leagues.
