The Facts:
HC Norv Turner is looking for ways to get Tomlinson more involved in the passing game. "LT is such a good route runner and is so good at catching the football that we're going to really use him as much as we can in that area," Turner said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Turner has shown a penchant for getting his running backs involved in the passing game. With the Raiders in 2005, LaMont Jordan led all NFL running backs with 70 receptions. Last season, San Francisco's Frank Gore tied for third among running backs with 61 catches. ... Of course, Tomlinson's role in the passing game has been central to San Diego's offense since his arrival. Over his six-year career, LT has averaged 66 receptions per season. He and former Cardinals FB Larry Centers are the only backs in NFL history to catch 100 passes in one season.
