Ryan Mathews breaks clavicle, out for season

Dec 16, 2012

San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews broke his left clavicle Sunday and will miss the rest of the season, The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Michael Gehlken reported.

Mathews had already broken his right clavicle during the preseason. He broke his left clavicle during the second quarter of the Chargers’ 31-7 loss Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact:

Curtis Brinkley carried the ball six times for 42 yards, while Jackie Battle had three carries for two yards. Brinkley seems to be the favorite for touches next week against the Jets, but Battle and Ronnie Brown (if healthy) would also be in the mix.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
