Schefter: Chargers' Kalen Ballage (ankle) will play in Week 13's game against New England

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle) will play against the New England Patriots in Week 13, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

Ballage entered the day listed as questionable with an ankle injury but will play against New England. With Austin Ekeler back, our models expect Ballage to handle a much smaller workload, with a projection of just 1.5 carries and 0.4 receptions against the Patriots.

The Chargers are 1.5-point favorites over the Patriots in Week 13. Their implied team total of 24.25 points is the 11th-largest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
