San Diego Chargers RBs Melvin Gordon, Danny Woodhead and Branden Oliver will each be ‘used to their strengths’ in the upcoming season in helping comprise a committee, according to running backs coach Ollie Wilson. ‘Those guys can do a lot of different things and they have all bought in to working together and having their own role instead of being (angry) not getting all the touches,’ he said. ‘They understand we don’t have just one starter here. They are all part of our scheme and system.’
Footballguys View: Fantasy owners are anticipating this according to the latest ADP for the Chargers backs. The news of Gordon’s microfracture knee surgery has caused his draft stock to take a tumble. He currently sits at RB27 (6.07) while Woodhead is at RB24 (5.10) in 12-team PPR leagues.
