The Los Angeles Chargers have officially ruled out running back Austin Ekeler for their Week 4 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Ekeler will miss a third straight game as he continues to recover from the high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 1. With Ekeler sidelined expect Joshua Kelley to continue operating as the Chargers' lead back.
Our models project Kelley, who has a $6,000 salary on FanDuel, to score 12.2 fantasy points against the Raiders, with 64.7 rushing yards, 11.5 receiving yards, and 0.7 touchdowns. Kelley has been the go-to guy for Los Angeles, but hasn't turned that opportunity into fantasy points yet.
