Week 4 vs. Las Vegas Raiders
In what looked like a pretty good matchup, Joshua Kelley once again failed to make the most of an expanded role in the absence of Austin Ekeler. Against the Vikings, Kelly carried the ball 11 times and saw one target. These opportunities brought him 12 rushing yards, one reception, and another five yards. Kelley managed just 2.2 Half PPR points, and finished as the RB62 last week, parking him at RB41 in points per game this season.
On paper, the Chargers matchup with the Raiders looks like a great one for a running back. The Raiders rank 27th in aFPA to running backs this season. The game not being played on paper, however, makes Kelley a very low-upside prospect, and he should be viewed as nothing above a low-end RB2 this week.
