2 years agoThe Los Angeles Chargers are meeting with free-agent running back Sony Michel on Wednesday. The former Dolphin was a surprise cut on Tuesday, despite a productive season as a member of the Super Bowl-champion Rams last year. The Georgia product totaled 208 carries for 845 yards and four touchdowns, adding 21 receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown through the air. The Chargers have been desperately trying to find a capable backup for Austin Ekeler since the departure of Melvin Gordon. Joshua Kelley won the job over Larry Rountree III and rookie Isaiah Spiller (ankle), but he may now be competing with Michel. The 27-year-old would further complicate this backfield for fantasy football purposes beyond Ekeler, making a wait-and-see approach the best strategy entering the season.--Josh Constantinou - RotoBaller
