SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #73   
Overall: #336

Hester spent most of his time at fullback his rookie season, which limited his touches. He did score two touchdowns, though, and finish with 12 receptions. He could get increased reps in the Chargers offense his second season in the league. The Chargers like his ability. Hester is a big back with good pass-catching ability and enough speed to break some big plays.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
He got a lot more chances late in the year, which could be a sign of things to come for the coming season. Hester might be worth a late-round pick in deeper leagues. He could get around 500 total yards and a few scores in a good Chargers offense.
