An MRI Tuesday revealed that Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler is dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Josh Kelley and Justin Jackson will take over the Chargers' backfield in his absence. Kelley, a rookie out of UCLA, has played well this year, but fumbling has been an issue. Jackson returned to the field Sunday after missing time with a quad injury. Both RBs are unproven, but the lead back in Los Angeles has RB2 value. Kelley and Jackson should be rostered in all formats moving forward.
