Danny Woodhead was largely forgotten through much of the offseason due to missing most of last season due to injury. But whether serving as a Patriot or Charger, has always been an effective offensive weapon, primarily through his prowess in the passing game.

But judging by his workload on Sunday, he could offer a lot more than just the occasional passing down work to relieve Melvin Gordon. Woodhead came away with two rushing touchdowns: one from nine yards out and the other from one yard out, indicating that the Chargers recognize his nose for the end zone. Basically, there will always be a chance to score six for your squad when he is active.

In fact, Woodhead received only one fewer touch than Gordon over the entire game when you include his four catches, signaling that Philip Rivers' declaration that the Chargers would be operating a running-back-by-committee system rang true.

This will likely be the last time Woodhead makes this list, so get your waiver claim in stat if he's available for the taking.
