Reasoning

Cons: Has a history of injuries. Can miss games through injury. Umm, injury prone a bit.
Pros: The Chargers want him to touch the ball as often as possible. Mike Tolbert is gone and they've brought in Ronnie Brown to back him up. Which is to say, they're going to give Mathews as much as he can handle, and have openly said this repeatedly.

Personally, I think the odds here more than make up for any injury concerns. Foster is a favourite, but Tate is going to steal looks. MJD is looking like holding out, and Running Backs who hold out rarely do well. Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy are legitimate favourites, but there's nothing about their situation that trumps Mathews'. Honestly can't see why he's anything above 9's.
