From Week 6 on last year, Chargers running backs Austin Ekeler and Melvin Gordon were both top-10 fantasy backs in full PPR. With Philip Rivers no longer at quarterback, the backfield could take on even more importance.

Additionally, Gordon has since signed with the Denver Broncos in free agency, of course, leaving behind a profitable fantasy role.

Joshua Kelley has been an intriguing fantasy sleeper since being drafted by the Chargers. His competition for the No. 2 role behind Ekeler, Justin Jackson, has been dealing with a toe injury and could be limited in Week 1.

Kelley could get a nice slice of opportunity on Sunday, against an improved but still not-great Bengals defense. There are worse fliers to take in filling a flex spot in leagues with 12 or more teams.
