San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is practicing this week after missing time last week with an ankle injury. He did play Week 7 and it would be a surprise if he didn't play Week 8. However, his role remains undetermined. Although he's expected to play, you should still monitor his injury and his reps in practice this week. It could be telling.
Fantasy Analysis:
Gordon has clearly taken a backseat in the Chargers backfield. He has been mediocre at best and has dealt with serious ball-security issues. He has only seven touches in each of the past two games.
