Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 13: Ryan Mathews

Ryan Mathews returned in Week 11 with a fresh set of legs, and he's performed well since. In Week 12, Mathews rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown with just 12 carries against a tough St. Louis Rams run defense. He didn't get through the game completely unscathed, however. Mathews left the game for nearly 20 minutes with a shoulder injury. It was enough to place him on the injury report, but Mathews will play Sunday.

Mathews will now face another difficult match up as the Chargers head to Baltimore to face the Ravens. He'll continue to see a healthy workload, and he's always a threat in the passing game. The Chargers will likely get Mathews involved in the game plan plenty.

Branden Oliver and Donald Brown have been mostly ineffective even with Mathews off the field. The Chargers will continue to lean on Mathews out of the backfield. Despite the difficult match up, Mathews is an RB2.
