Draft note

by John Paulsen

Apparently the Broncos aren't happy with Royce Freeman and want to instead utilize Gordon in tandem with Phillip Lindsay. Freeman saw 175 touches last year and I'd expect Gordon to surpass that number if he plays a full season. As a result, Lindsay is unlikely to approach the 259 touches that he saw last season. Gordon looks like he'll be a fantasy RB2 with Lindsay more of a fantasy RB3 in a reduced role.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Without Phillip Lindsay to share carries last week against the Chargers, Melvin Gordon led Denver with 79 yards on 16 attempts. He’s only eclipsed the century mark twice this season and is going to need 107 yards in the finale to reach 1,000. Gordon was held to 46 yards in November’s loss to the Raiders but makes for a good start on Sunday.
