Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (shoulder) doesn't appear cleared for contact yet. Doing individual drills in shorts without helmet or pads.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ronnie Brown is in line to be the starter in Week 1 against the Raiders, but a host of other backs like Curtis Brinkley, Jackie Battle and LeRon McClain could also get work. We rank Brown 15th among RBs, so we feel good he's a pretty solid RB2 in most leagues.

Ryan Mathews not yet cleared for contact

Chargers RB Ryan Mathews was active in individual workouts for the second consecutive day, but has not been cleared for contact meaning his odds of playing Monday are not good.

"I don't have a schedule," Chargers coach Norv Turner said. "I will say that I love his attitude regarding the injury. He's doing everything possible to get back. He'd have to get the reps necessary to prepare for a game, and he's not at that point yet."

The Chargers would like to ease him back into practice and increase the contact he faces over time. The prospect of re-injury is a concern.

"We're evaluating him and we'll see how it goes," Turner said. "We'd like to increase his activity each day. Hopefully things continue to go well and we can do that."

Fantasy Impact: 

Given the nature of the injury, we believe Mathews will miss at least Week 1 if not Week 2 as well. The chances of re-injury decrease as Mathews is allowed to heal. Ronnie Brown should carry the load while Mathews is sidelined.

Chargers HC Norv Turner suggested the Chargers' rotation could favor one rusher while RB Ryan Mathews is sidelined.

“I'd like to think that someone will emerge,” Turner said, "that we'll feel good enough about someone where they can get 20 carries. And then the other guys feed off of that. … They're all different guys, so get a plan to use their strengths.”

It's no secret Turner likes Ronnie Brown. If there was someone in the backfield who'd get 20 carries, it'd likely stand as the 30-year-old, whom Turner calls a “complete player.”

“Yeah,” Turner said with a smile. “He could be the guy.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Brown sounds like a good stopgap for those owners looking for a starter early in the season. We're expecting Mathews to miss the first two weeks of the season due to the nature of his injury, and chances for re-injury.

Ryan Mathews targets Week 1 return

The Chargers have issued a recovery timetable of four-to-six weeks for RB Ryan Mathews. Mathews said he thinks he'll be on the field in four weeks for the Chargers' Sept. 10 season opener in Oakland.

"I think I heal pretty fast," Mathews, 24, said. "I think I'll be good in time to play against the Raiders. ... I'm happy it happened now than against the Raiders. It's better that it happened now, just to get it out of the way. It gives me a few weeks to recover and get back at it."

Mathews said his doctor gave him three-to-six week timetable. He plans to continue training as his shoulder heals.

"My legs aren't broken," Mathews said. "I can still do stuff with my legs and everything. It's more just upper body stuff that I'll probably have to shy away from, but my legs work just fine."

Fantasy Impact: 

A broken clavicle on Mathews' first preseason carry is certainly a concern, and risk of re-injury is there. However, Mathews was going as a top 5 pick in most leagues prior to this weekend. He is now falling into the 3rd round and is a value there if he indeed can return by Week 1 or Week 2, avoid re-injury, and prove effective. The points per game should be there for Mathews, it's just a matter of how many games he'll be able to play. The Chargers have no other talented runners, with Ronnie Brown and Curtis Brinkley next in line.
