Los Angeles Chargers DFS Spin

Chargers RB Joshua Kelley led the team's backfield in snaps against the Jaguars. Kelley played 38 snaps to Justin Jackson's 31 in the Chargers' Week 7 win. The rookie rushed 12 times for 29 yards while Jackson notched five carries for 12 yards. Jackson, who saw six targets against Jacksonville, remains the primary pass-catching back with Austin Ekeler (hamstring) out. For now, Kelley looks like he'll get a decent number of carries when the Chargers have game script on their side.

Denver Broncos DFS Spin

Phillip Lindsay (concussion) is questionable for Week 8 against the Chargers. As is WR Tim Patrick (hamstring). Lindsay brought his helmet and jersey to the field mid-week but was unable to get cleared prior to Sunday. Assuming he's removed from the league's protocol on Saturday, he'll again be used as a RB3 in a timeshare with Melvin Gordon.
