As Melvin Gordon nurses a knee injury, the Los Angeles Chargers are looking for someone to step up and fill the former first-round pick's shoes.
Fantasy football owners are doing the same.
According to Eric Williams of ESPN, an MCL injury could potentially cause Gordon to miss next week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, forcing the Chargers to replace him on the field.
The most obvious candidate figures to be Austin Ekeler. The second-year back had a limited role in the Chargers offense as a rookie in 2017, totaling 539 yards from scrimmage.
