Ryan Mathews, Branden Oliver, Donald Brown's Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction

The San Diego Chargers struggled mightily to put away the winless Oakland Raiders on Sunday. One of the few positives head coach Mike McCoy can take away from the game is that his offense gained 120 yards on the ground, nearly 40 above its season average.

Ryan Mathews got the lion's share of the carries, with Branden Oliver chipping in as well. Donald Brown was firmly on the periphery, however.

	Carries	Yards	Avg.	TD
Ryan Mathews	16	70	4.4	0
Branden Oliver	13	36	2.8	0
Donald Brown	1	0	0.0	0

	Rec.	Targets	Yards	Avg.	TD
Ryan Mathews	1	1	5	5.0	0
Branden Oliver	1	3	3	3.0	0
Donald Brown	1	2	4	4.0	0

In terms of fantasy value going forward, it's hard to get excited about anybody in the Chargers backfield. Mathews is never too far from the next injury, Oliver's lacked consistency, and Brown will hardly see the ball.

Ideally, you've got both Mathews and Oliver on your team, so in the event the former goes down, the latter can be inserted into the lineup. Mathews can be an RB2 when he's on the field, while Oliver's worth keeping around for the right situation.
