During a post-game media conference, a reporter asked coach Chargers coach Norv Turner why the run game struggled.

“The questions that get asked sometimes are pretty obvious,” Turner said. “When you start moving people around in there — you see Jeromey Clary get helped off in the first part, you've got a young guy in Michael Harris playing at left tackle who has been outstanding in terms of what he's capable of doing, you see Tyronne come off — then that probably would answer the question for you.

“If I need to spell it out better, that is probably a big part of it. I'm not going to take away from the effort those guys are giving or how hard they're competing. .. I don't know if I'm going to look at and say Ryan had a lot of room to run.”

While that may be the case, the game announcers also criticized Ryan Mathews for always looking to get outside and not taking his first step to the hole. That could be because of the struggling O-line. Either way, Mathews isn't any more than an average RB2 at this point. This week, he gets a tough matchup against the Steelers, but does have two favorable ones in fantasy playoffs Week 15 and Week 16: vs. Carolina and at the Jets.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
