BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Joshua Kelley sustained a knee injury early in the Chargers' Week 6 matchup with Denver, and his status should be monitored. However, he had bypassed Sony Michel to capture RB2 responsibilities for Los Angeles in Week 5. That positioned Kelley to operate with an extensive workload if Austin Ekeler would become unavailable for any reason. He could become a valuable point producer for fantasy managers once he re-emerges in the Chargers' lineup.
Kelley had averaged a 23.3 snap share from Weeks 1-4, along with 3.3 carries and 13.5 yards per game during that sequence. However, his snap share rose to 38% when Los Angeles traveled to Cleveland in Week 5, while he was also entrusted with 10 rushing attempts and generated 49 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Michel’s 20.8% snap share from Weeks 1-4 plummeted to only 3% in Week 5. He had also been averaging 5.6 attempts and 14.5 yards per game but was limited to one carry and failed to register a yard versus the Browns.
He is only rostered in 17% of all leagues but Kelley can be secured as a handcuff for anyone who is reliant on Ekeler as their RB1. All other managers can consider stashing him if you are operating with a deeper bench.
