I have a fantasy keeper question for all you Fantasy Football guys. I had Ryan Mathews last year and he can be a 7th round keeper for me this year in a 10 team standard non-ppr format. We start 2 RB, 2WR and 1 flex. Is he worth keeping for a 7th round pick? or is he done this year and too fragile.... discuss. One other option is to keep Ben Tate in the 13 round of a 15 round draft, and then pray Arian Foster, who is on another fantasy, team gets hurt.

7th round keeper? hell yeah. he is fragile but the value is for 7th round is too good to pass up imo. take him.

Chico, even if he doesn't play the first couple of weeks, I don't see another RB on the Chargers somehow taking away his starting role once he is healthy. Fantasy Football is a marathon not a sprint, so at round 7 he is still a good value I think.

I just wanted a reality check from someone. Now I'm reading that Mathews wasn't even in a sling yesterday at practice, so maybe his "break" was actually a fracture and not as bad as a clean break would make it out. I'm just concerned because I've read that clavicles can take 12 weeks to heal, how do these guys come up with 4-6 weeks?

Ryan Mathews thinks he’ll be ready for the opener | ProFootballTalk

mathews is soooo damn frustrating. i drafted him as a rookie and traded him cause he's always hurt and tolbert kept taking the goaline carries. now the job's his and he gets hurt again!!!!!!
