Fantasy Impact: 

Reports of the MCL sprain came pretty early Sunday night which gave hope it wasn't anything more serious after he was carted off, but owners were likely hoping for something a little less. Dating back to last year, Mathews had posted either 100 yards or a TD in 8 of his last 9 regular games before this week. Donald Brown looks like he'll get a majority of carries with Danny Woodhead also chipping in. Next on the depth chart is Branden Oliver who could also contribute. In an update Monday night, the Chargers didn't put a timetable on Mathews return.
