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.

Fant was dealing with an ankle injury and was considered 50/50 to play. He wasn’t going to play had the game taken place in Week 5. Fant is not traveling with the team along with RB Melvin Gordon.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New England Patriots
Melvin Gordon rushed 23 times for 107 yards and two scores two weeks ago. His 43-yard TD with less than two minutes to play sealed the victory for Denver. While a couple game suspension may happen for Gordon after being cited for a DUI earlier this week, that likely won't happen until November at the earliest. Phillip Lindsay is expected back on Sunday, which will cut into Gordon’s touches. The Patriots have been in the middle of the pack versus the run so Gordon is an RB2 start.
