Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson is doubtful for Week 3's game against the Carolina Panthers with a quad injury.
Jackson returned to practice on Friday after missing Week 2's game against the Chiefs with a quad injury, but Week 3 will likely come too soon for him to return. The Chargers backfield is expected to remain a split between Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley for a pristine matchup against a Panthers defense ranked 31st against running backs in numberFire's advanced stats.
The Chargers are 6.5-point favorites against the Panthers in Week 3. Their implied team total of 25.0 points is the eleventh-highest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map. Our Week 3 rankings have Ekeler at RB11 and Kelley at RB21.
