Chargers running back Branden Oliver looked like a star earlier in the season, but after another subpar outing in Week 9 against the Dolphins, his role moving forward has to be in question.
Oliver rushed for just 19 yards on 13 carries Sunday, and added just one reception for 7 yards in a 37-0 loss. He now has just 55 yards on 26 carries over the last two games, and has seen his workload reduced in each game, from a season-high 30 touches in Week 5 to just 14 Sunday.
Oliver is going to see a reduced role down the stretch, with Ryan Mathews likely to return to action after the team's Week 10 bye. Oliver might be best left as a flex option beginning with Week 11 against the Raiders.
