Branden Oliver looks impressive at Chargers' OTAs
Los Angeles Chargers running back Branden Oliver (Achilles') has looked as good as new at Chargers OTAs, according to quarterback Philip Rivers.
"It’s been great (having him back)," Rivers. "Gosh, we had really such high expectations for him going into last year. ... He looks good. He looks explosive. I know it’s early, but I think he really is a great complement to Melvin (Gordon). Their styles are different, but similar. (We) have two backs who can run all the same plays." Oliver missed all of 2016 after tearing his Achilles' tendon in August, but he'll be one of the more valuable handcuffs for fantasy owners this upcoming season.
Oliver averaged -0.03 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt on 31 carries during his last regular-season action back in 2015. That would have ranked in the bottom-half of the 23 backs to see between 25 and 50 carries last season.
