I didn't see an official topic for Dontrelle Inman, so here we go. With the injuries in San Diego, opportunity is knocking. Let's take a look at the current situation:
Keenan Allen - Out for the year.
Malcom Floyd - torn labrum. Probably out for the year (even though he says he will be back this season).
So we've got a heavy passing team with Stevie Johnson, Antonio Gates (limited in practice Wednesday), Danny Woodhead, and Ladarius Green (did not practice this week) splitting up the pot. The question is - where does Inman fit? Is he still 4th-5th on the team for passing targets? Or does he climb the ranks a bit, out of necessity, being one of the few healthy bodies left?
Before the bye week, Inman caught 3-of-5 targets for 28 yards in the loss to the Bears. He also lost a fumble. Not exactly stellar numbers. But it could be argued the injury to Floyd threw the entire offense out of sync that night and a bye week to help prepare for an expanded role could help Inman immensely.
So what do you folks think? Is there gold to be mined here?
