Sony Michel Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers running back Sony Michel is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old has been nothing special in his first year with the Bolts, accruing just 106 rushing yards and 53 receiving yards through 10 games. With Michel sidelined, the Chargers will deploy Isaiah Spiller and Joshua Kelley in depth roles behind Austin Ekeler this week.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Sony Michel surprisingly led the team in rushing attempts and yards in Week 3 and theoretically could produce against a struggling Houston Texans run defense in Week 4 if given the opportunity. Austin Ekeler has still been pacing the Chargers' backfield in terms of snaps and receiving usage, though, so Michel cannot be considered in starting fantasy lineups. He could be worth an addition to your bench if you have an open spot as he appears to be the primary backup to Ekeler in a prolific offense.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Sony Michel handled five rushing attempts for 22 yards and hauled in one of two targets for nine receiving yards in a 38-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Michel actually out-carried Austin Ekeler this week, but Ekeler was still the better fantasy option as he finished with eight receptions and 53 total yards. Both Michel and Joshua Kelley have received touches in all three games this season, but it was Michel who operated as the clear number two back on Sunday. Unless he sees more opportunities in the coming weeks, though, Michel will continue to be just a handcuff for fantasy purposes.
