SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #7   
Overall: #7


Oh, how the mighty has fallen. Tomlinson still had a solid season last year, but was slowed by injury much of the season. And at age 30, his time as an elite back is running out. He did score 12 touchdowns last season, but ran for just 1,110 yards, his lowest total of his career. Tomlinson just looked a little more human last season. And he'll likely enter a platoon role (sharing carries) for the coming year, which will hurt his numbers. He is a solid receiver, though, and should get plenty of chances to get some big total yardage numbers even if he gets a few less carries. Tomlinson has at least 1,000-rushing yards and double-digit scores in every NFL season.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Tomlinson is no longer the No. 1 overall player. He probably isn't even a first-round pick this season. He is an injury risk at this point and his two 100-yard games last year are a real concern. He can still get around 1,300 or so total yards and around double-digit scores, though, making him a decent but not spectacular No. 1 back for fantasy teams.

Kevin Acee and Tod Leonard, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) said he felt pretty good in his return to action in Week 4. 'I felt pretty good,' said Tomlinson, who missed the two previous games with a sprained ankle. 'I'm still working my way back. I wouldn't say I was there. A little rusty.' However, Tomlinson only carried the football seven times in the game, mainly due to the Chargers falling behind quickly. 'We got down so fast, we couldn't run the ball,' Tomlinson said.

The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson had seven carries for 15 rushing yards Week 4.
Fantasy Impact: Tomlinson didn't look so good in his first game back. You would expect Darren Sproles to be involved more in the coming weeks.

San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 2. He is listed as probable for the team's Week 4 game.
Fantasy Impact: Tomlinson should be just fine this week. He'll probably split work with Darren Sproles, but remains a fine No. 2 option for fantasy teams in this role.

San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) practiced Thursday, Oct. 1, and he will probably play Week 4 unless he suffers a setback.
Fantasy Impact: We would feel pretty good about getting Tomlinson back in your lineup. He wasn't going to play until he was about 100 percent, so we wouldn't expect him to be very limited in the game.

Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) has been ruled out of the team's Week 3 game.

Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) will not return until he is close to or at 100 percent because he does not want to come back too early and have the injury linger.
