Melvin Gordon to ‘only be used in an emergency’ Week 4

Melvin Gordon was activated Saturday, but the plan is for the Chargers to “only use him as an emergency” in Sunday’s Week 4 contest against the Dolphins. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon will have a limited role for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. Based on the most recent news, it sounds as if Gordon will only play in case of an injury. Austin Ekeler should receive the majority of carries in WeeK 4 as the Chargers continue to ease Gordon back into regular season form. Despite the plus matchup, Gordon is a risky fantasy play due to unclear role in Sunday’s Week 4 matchup versus the Dolphins.
