Scouting report

SD RB Danny Woodhead - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs San Diego
It was another lackluster fantasy performance from Danny Woodhead this past week. Woodhead had just six touches - three carries for 10 yards and three receptions for 24 yards. Woodhead has put up nice fantasy numbers for PPR leagues most of this season but especially since Week 4. However, his last three weeks saw his touches at just 7-10-6 in that span with no TDs and a high of 39 receiving yards. He's ranked just 30th on our list this week in standard leagues but given his last three games he's probably better off on your bench if at all possible. The Chiefs are 11th in allowing fantasy points to RBs.

SD RB Danny Woodhead - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Broncos

It was another struggle for Danny Woodhead owners last week as he carried four times for eight yards and added six passes, but for just 39 yards. It's been back-to-back clunkers for Woodhead, who had just seven touches in Week 11 vs. KC.

It could be another tough go over the next two weeks. Denver is 19th in allowing fantasy points to RBs, but it's possible the Chargers will play from behind in this game and need to use Woodhead in the passing game. Still, Woodhead is just a flex or high-end RB3 this week in our rankings. Woodhead also lost a bit of work in the passing game to Melvin Gordon, who had five catches for 20 yards.

SD RB Danny Woodhead - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Jacksonville

After a pretty good string of fantasy production, Danny Woodhead had a clunker in Week 11 - as did the rest of the San Diego offense. Woodhead carried six times for seven yards and added just one catch for nine yards on just two targets.

It was very unlike the SD offense in a home game against the Chiefs coming off a bye. Woodhead has a pretty favorable matchup in Week 12 going against the Jags, who are just 21st in allowing fantasy points to RBs. After last week's performance, there are certainly some risks with putting Chargers players in your fantasy lineup. Woodhead has been very good, especially in PPR leagues, this year and continues to be a lower-end RB2 play. The hope is the team gets back to using Woodhead more in the passing game.

SD RB Danny Woodhead - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs Kansas City

After a down week in Week 8, Danny Woodhead bounced back win Week 9. He ran six times for 33 yards, but added six catches for 78 yards and a TD. Those are the type of fantasy numbers owners have been used to this season from Woodhead.

This week, it's a tough matchup against the Chiefs who are 10th in allowing fantasy points to RBs. But Woodhead's bread and butter is piling up numbers in the passing game, and with Keenan Allen out and Antonio Gates banged up, Woodhead could once again be heavily involved in the passing game. Even in standard leagues, he comes in this week with a low-end RB2 ranking.

SD RB Danny Woodhead - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Chicago

Danny Woodhead was held in check for just the second time this season last week. A PPR-dependent back like Woodhead is usually more up and down, but it wasn't a great matchup last week for running backs against the Ravens. He finished with just three carries for nine yards and two catches for 36 yards.

This week, it could be a similar story as the Bears are just sixth in allowing fantasy points to RBs. The real damage against Chicago is done through the air and that should be the case again this week. Still, Woodhead comes in 20th in standard formats, so he's still shaping up to be an average RB2 play. The hope is he's more involved in the passing game at least, making him more valuable in PPR leagues.

SD RB Danny Woodhead - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Baltimore
Danny Woodhead ran five times for 26 yards and added 11 catches for 75 yards and two TDs last week against the Raiders. This week, Woodhead takes on the Raven who are much better against the run, but Woodhead does his damage in the passing game and even in standard leagues has RB2 potential this week. Baltimore is 11th in allowing fantasy points to RBs, but Woodhead has put together four weeks of 60-plus yards receiving, and is averaging about six catches and seven targets in that same span.

SD RB Danny Woodhead - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Oakland
Danny Woodhead ran just seven times for eight yards last week. He did catch five balls for 63 yards on seven targets. Those have been pretty typical numbers for Woodhead the last two weeks. He's averaging about six targets a game. This week, it's a tough matchup as the Raiders are 10th in allowing fantasy points to RBs. It's the first of three-straight matchups against teams in the top-10 in that category (the Ravens and Bears are next), but Woodhead is a big threat in the passing game. With Melvin Gordon's fumbles last week, Woodhead is rated as the top Bolts back in terms of fantasy potential this week.
