Ryan Mathews has been ruled out. We break down the fantasy implications.
Ryan Mathews (clavicle) has officially been ruled out by the Chargers despite being limited in practice all week.
Analysis: Mathews never really had a chance to play. His original diagnosis of 4-to-6 weeks gave him remote shot to play and his owners can take solace in him practicing. Mathews will likely be questionable for Week 2 in a Sunday matchup at home against the Titans. If you were able to get Mathews past the 15th pick in your draft, it looks like the value is going to be there. Although, there's always the fear of him getting hurt again. Ronnie Brown will get the bulk of the carries and serves as a great stop-gap option for fantasy owners.
