Detrez Newsome News
Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome may be losing his spot in the pecking order. Coming into Sunday's game against the Saints, Newsome was slated to be the team's No. 3 running back after Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson, but he got jumped by Troymaine Pope when it came time to actually go into the game. To make matters worse, Newsome did nothing of importance while Pope took a punt to the house for the biggest play of the game. At this point, Newsome may be at real risk to be cut from the team. He'll need to step it up in practice this week to see much of a future in LA.
Fourth-string Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome got the call that he was going to be playing in the teams biggest game of the season on Thursday night, and he ran with it. As the coaches used the standard two-headed approach that theyve used all season with the regular starters, Newsome got the ball six times and chugged along for 34 yards, including a couple huge runs as the team made their miraculous fourth-quarter comeback. He also caught a pair of passes for another 19 yards. Its unlikely that Newsome will see the field again anytime soon, but he certainly did his part in LAs huge win.
Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome was signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday in order to give the team insurance in case Melvin Gordon (hamstring) is unable to play in Week 7 in London against the Titans. This move isn't a good sign for Gordon's status, but fantasy owners will know very early on Sunday whether Gordon is active. If he's not, Austin Ekeler would be a strong RB2 as the main option in the backfield. Justin Jackson would spell Ekeler. Make alternate plans right now if you own Gordon.
