With Melvin Gordon getting banged up in Week 3, Branden Oliver becomes a name to monitor.

Gordon exited the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 3 game with a knee ailment, although he did return. But Gordon entered the game with a questionable tag due to a knee injury, so clearly something isn't right with him.

The Chargers' unquestioned lead back, Gordon has accounted for 44 of the team's 62 rushing attempts, with Oliver getting 15 carries while no other player has more than 1. So, if Gordon ends up on the shelf for any amount of time, it would appear that Oliver would step into a huge role.

Oliver isn't a priority add as of now, because it looks like Gordon escaped serious injury, but he could be a must-add later this week if we get some bad news regarding Gordon's knee.
