Joshua Kelley Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley, starting in place of an injured Austin Ekeler (ankle), was disappointing in a Week 2 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans. Kelley just couldn't get anything going, running the ball 13 times for 39 scoreless yards and not contributing anything in the passing game. A week after the Chargers were able to dominate the ground game against the Miami Dolphins, they were unable to move the ball on the ground at all against the Titans. Kelley was one of the most popular waiver wire adds this week as soon as Ekeler started trending downward, but Kelley wasn't much help for fantasy managers and if anything showed the enormous talent gap between Ekeler and the other backs on the Chargers roster.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley could be a starting option in fantasy leagues in Week 2 if starter Austin Ekeler (ankle) is forced to miss time. Ekeler missed practice this week with an ankle injury and is currently listed as questionable. Kelley received a near even share of carries and snaps in Week 1 and would be in line for a much heavier workload if Ekeler can't go. Even if Ekeler plays, Kelley would likely see at least half of the carries, giving him some FLEX appeal despite a tough Tennessee run defense.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley got the same number of carries as starter Austin Ekeler in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Kelley ran the ball 16 times, gaining 91 yards and scoring a touchdown. He was targeted once in the passing game but was unable to make the catch. With Isaiah Spiller a healthy scratch, Kelley is the clear number two running back on the Bolts depth chart. He's worth rostering in most formats and would be an immediate starter if Ekeler were to miss time.
