Melvin Gordon, Keenan Allen Expected To Play Saturday
6 years agoThe Los Angeles Chargers feel that there is a legitimate chance that running backs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) and wide receiver Keenan Allen (hip) will be ready for the Week 16 game against the Ravens on Saturday night, according to a source. They will certainly need them in a big game for the AFC playoff picture against a stingy Ravens defense. Gordon has missed the last three games but would be a must-start in the fantasy championship if he plays. Ekeler's fantasy value would be hurt if Gordon returns, making him just an RB3/flex option in PPR leagues. Allen might not be 100 percent and would be facing a tough secondary, but he'd be a high-end WR2 for his volume.
