Chargers secure waiver claim on Andre Williams

The San Diego Chargers claimed running back Andre Williams off waivers from the New York Giants.

What It Means:

Williams was beat out in New York by Orleans Darkwa, but the former fourth-rounder quickly found a new home where he'll likely slide in as Melvin Gordon's direct backup on early downs. This is a barren depth chart in San Diego, so you shouldn't look too much into his quick claim as a sign of Dynasty value.

Over the past two seasons, there have been 145 instances of a running back seeing at least 50 carries. Williams' 2015 campaign was very nearly the worst in the group, ranking 141st among them in Rushing Net Expected Points per carry and 144th in Rushing Success Rate.
