SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #93   
Overall: #423


Hester had the most touches of his career as the Chargers fullback last season, but still only had 48 touches for the season. He did most of his damage as a receiver, catching 22 passes for 145 yards. He had fewer than 100-rushing yards for the third straight season, though, and has just three touchdowns for his career. His biggest asset is as a blocker more so than a runner or receiver. Hester has some plusses, though, as he is a big back with good pass-catching ability and enough speed to break some big plays.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Hester might be hard pressed to repeat last year's numbers, but it isn't outside of the realm of possibility. This gives him a little value in PPR leagues as he is capable of catching 20-plus passes. He'll be fortunate to top 300 total yards, though, and doesn't have a history of finding the end zone.
The San Diego Chargers are expected to make a strong play to try and re-sign impending free-agent FB Jacob Hester this offseason.

The Associated Press reports the San Diego Chargers have been impressed with the work of RB Jacob Hester in camp. "He's got a knack for running the football," Chargers coach Norv Turner said. "He's a good football player and he brings that energy that you want to the football team." Hester has led the Chargers in both their preseason games with a combined 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries.
The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers rookie RB Jacob Hester, who is competing for the No. 2 running back position, rushed for 49 yards on 13 carries Saturday, Aug. 9. Hester had a pair of rushing touchdowns during the game.
Fantasy Impact: Hester ran well and probably has a slight lead in the race for the No. 2 job.
Kevin Acee, of The San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers RB Jacob Hester appears to be the heir apparent to Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner. Hester will be counted on to be the backup to RB LaDainian Tomlinson.
Forrest Overin, of ChargersFootballXtra.com, reports San Diego Chargers FB Jacob Hester was playing with the first-team offense as fullback and halfback. He also lined up as a wide receiver, an in-line blocker and as the tight end's flank.
Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers RB Jacob Hester will play both running back and fullback for the team. He has played both positions during the team's minicamp. Hester has run routes, caught passes, paved the way for running backs and carried the ball.
