Navigating the middle rounds of drafts looking for productive running backs is an unenviable task for fantasy drafters.

I understand the appeal in drafting a prototypical running back for today's modern era and are subsequently expecting big things out of their new first-round pick.

Gordon is obviously the biggest hurdle standing between Woodhead and significant playing time, but let's first take a step back and evaluate what kind of offense we've come to expect from San Diego since head coach Mike McCoy was hired in 2013. In McCoy's first season as a head coach, he employed Ken Whisenhunt as his offensive coordinator. Whisenhunt -- coming off a 5-11 season in Arizona -- came to San Diego to resurrect a passing game that was struggling.

Quarterback according to Pro Football Focus at 8.1 yards. Know who was Rivers' leading receiver in this area?

That's right: Danny Woodhead.

Woodhead joined the Chargers in 2013 and clicked immediately with Rivers, hauling in 76 catches along with scoring 8 touchdowns. He was also a major factor in the red zone, leading all running backs with 21 targets, showcasing his versatility of weapon all over the field.

How did Woodhead fare looking at numberFire's according to Pro-Football-Reference.com and only three backs in the entire NFL surpassed that total last year.

Gordon will obviously be a big factor in this offense, but let's not disregard what kind of impact Danny Woodhead could have in 2015.

After news broke of the four-game suspension of according to FantasyFootballCalculator.com in 12-team PPR formats.

Considering he's basically an afterthought going as the RB37, Woodhead can be a player who fantasy owners can target in later rounds and potentially get similar results to Gordon at a fraction of the price. Woodhead has proven he's more than capable of putting up successful fantasy numbers alongside another running back in the mix.

At his current ADP, Woodhead can cohesively work in tandem with Gordon, and after offseason reports of him looking back to full health, you're getting a quality fantasy asset at a considerably suppressed price.
