Mike Tolbert

Chargers Turner prevented RB Mathews from re-entering

“Whether (Mathews) could’ve or couldn’t have returned, I wasn’t comfortable having him return,” Chargers head coach Norv Turner said. “Depending on the severity of it, I don’t want an injury that might be a one-week injury turn into a six-week injury. I thought Mike Tolbert stepped in there and played awfully well (and) obviously we had some plays from Darren (Sproles). We have depth in that position.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Seems like the injury isn't all that serious, which is good news for owners. It also seems Mike Tolbert may have some value going forward over Darren Sproles as Mathews handcuff.

The article also talked about concern over Mathews having another fumble in the gam, but Turner said "Ryan is not a fumbler."

Chargers, RB Ryan Mathews Play Let's Make A Deal

The San Diego Chargers and first-round draft pick Ryan Mathews agreed to a five-year contract Sunday, sources told ESPN.com's John Clayton and Bill Williamson.

The 12th pick overall out of Fresno State, Mathews was San Diego's only draft pick who hasn't signed.

The players picked on either side of him, San Francisco's Anthony Davis and Philadelphia's Brandon Graham, both agreed to deals on Friday.

The running back, considered San Diego's heir apparent to LaDainian Tomlinson, is expected to share carries with Darren Sproles in the Chargers' backfield this season.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's all systems go for Mathews to be a fantasy force in his first NFL season. He's currently at 13 in our rankings.

You probably haven't heard much about Shawnbrey McNeal ...

You probably haven't heard much about Shawnbrey McNeal yet, but I'm told that first-round pick Ryan Mathews isn't the only rookie running back worth paying attention to in San Diego this season. McNeal, an undrafted free agent out of SMU, made people notice him during the Chargers' offseason workouts and there's a belief within the organization that he could wind up being the guy who replaces third-down back Darren Sproles in 2011.

The Chargers franchised Sproles in 2009 and protected him via a one-year, $7.28-million restricted free-agent tender this spring (first and third-round compensation level), a move they had to make after giving Tomlinson his freedom. But while Mathews, the draft's 12th overall pick out of Fresno State, is expected to get No. 1 back duties this season, San Diego is eager to see if McNeal can prove to be a more affordable third-down specialist in the role Sproles has owned in recent years.

Chargers HC Norv Turner on rookie RB Ryan Matthews 2010...

Chargers HC Norv Turner on rookie RB Ryan Matthews 2010 workload:

I would expect Ryan to have 250 carries and 40 catches, something like that. That’s obviously saying Darren Sproles is going to have the same role he’s had.
