Curtis Brinkley rushed ten times for 12 yards and caught three passes for 28 yards in Week 1. Brinkley led the San Diego backfield in touches in Ryan Mathews' (clavicle) absence. If not for the receiving yards it would have been an abysmal night. Brinkley showed very little burst, but that could have been the side effects of an August thigh injury. Either way, he has no fantasy value moving forward.
