RussMan Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Interesting that he practiced Wed but not today..usually they upgrade toward the end of week not downgrade? Any homers with insights? Ryan Mathews (foot) was downgraded to a missed practice on Thursday. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune is confident that Mathews will play, but the missed practice time could impact his snap-count. It's poor timing with Mathews' role expanding in Week 3. The workload could return to a pure committee attack with Mike Tolbert against the Dolphins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Can the guy stay in the top 5 for at least one week, one lousy week, before we start hearing about injury concerns? Hopefully it's not a big deal and he plays on Sunday, because he's fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 According to NBC San Diego's Michael Gehlken, Ryan Mathews (foot) had more soreness Thursday morning in his rehab than expected. Not a great sign, but Mathews vows to return to a "full-speed" practice on Friday. Turner's initial comments after last week's game suggested that Mathews' increased role against the Chiefs was due in large part to Michael Tolbert missing practices. If that logic holds, Mathews could be on the short end of the stick this week. He's a high-risk, high-reward fantasy play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloroform Rx Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Perfect time for a Ryan Mathews (HIGH) for Chris Johnson (LOW) trade, which is what I'm attempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwatz Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Mathews is a MASH unit. He was hurt a lot last year and suspect we'll see more of the same. Tolbert's the man long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
