Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Justin Jackson could be thrust into the fantasy spotlight Thursday with Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler both uncertain for L.A.'s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to NFL Network's Steve Wyche, Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he isn't optimistic that Gordon (knee injury) or Ekeler (neck and concussion issues) will play Thursday.
Gordon has missed the past two games, and Ekeler exited last week's game in the fourth quarter, meaning Jackson may be in line for the lion's share of the carries against KC.
