That knee sprain isn't going away. Even when healthy he won't carry the full load

Which is why he's sitting out a few weeks until the knee sprain goes away

Ben Tate had the same injury in week 1. Missed a few weeks, came back and got 22 carries last week and had no issues with his knee.

Jennings is an every down / more complete RB and just a better player than Williams. When Jennings gets back, he will be the guy.

In regards to the OP... I like Oliver the most.

Hilliman is in a fluid situation where other guys will get work at the RB spot. Hillman only had 2 carries before last week. CJ Anderson had more than him going into last game and has looked really explosive. And they have Thompson who got the goal line carry. And they my bring in anther RB.

Williams could be a solid play for a few weeks. But when Jennings gets back, he will be the guy. Jennings is an every down player that is good at everything. The only advantage Williams has over Jennings is that hes a little more powerful. But Jennings is better at everything else.

I think even if Donald Brown plays this week, Oliver will still get most of the carries. And when Matthews returns, Oliver will still be the RB2 for them. And its nt like Mathews was getting 20 carries a game before he was injured. He had 12 carries and 11 carries in 2 games. They want to use a RBBC and Donald Brown has struggled, Woodhead is done for the season, and they arent feeding Mathews that much. I think Oliver could easily get the most snaps for the Chargers, even when everyone is healthy.
