Fantasy Football 2014: San Diego Chargers RB Rundown
The Chargers are calling their backfield the “three-headed monster” which is enough to terrify any fantasy football owner into running for the hills and staying far away from the Bolts’ backfield. However, I think there is some real value to be had if you can target these players as value options since the timeshare situation is sure to scare some owners away.

How the carries and catches are divided between Ryan Mathews, Danny Woodhead, and offseason acquisition Donald Brown will determine who emerges as a fantasy factor, but I think all three could be legitimate plays at flex positions as we get into them midseason bye weeks. Each of the three have their own strengths, and all could easily have value since the Chargers offense utilizes running backs as receivers and if fairly run-focused as well.
Here is what I think you should expect from the Chargers RB as the season gets underway. The rankings included are based on my top 80 RB which came out last week and which will be updated later this week.
