DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Raiders

As the case has been all year long, Melvin Gordon has been in a near-even split with Javonte Williams when it comes to snaps and rush attempts during the 2021 NFL season. This week they take on a Las Vegas Raiders team that is currently giving up the 13th most rushing yards (650) since Week 10. The Broncos are also a one-point favorite, which should set them up for a favorable run game script. Last week, Gordon was able to turn 16 touches into 61 yards. We have Gordon as a top 21 back in the semi-finals this week with a projected 75 rushing yards.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Bengals

After being left for dead since he got injured, Melvin Gordon had to remind everyone he's still a very good player and both Gordon and Javonte Williams can thrive. Against the Detroit Lions in Week 14, Gordon went over 100 rushing yards and two scores, of course, we can't expect that this week. The Denver Broncos host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15 and a run defense that has been red hot as of late. Our projections at 4for4 have Melvin Gordon rushing for about 60 yards while adding another eight through the air. He's a decent RB2/flex this week.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs Lions

Melvin Gordon is expected to play this week after missing Week 13 with a hip injury. Gordon is most likely coming back to a touch of pace back and/ or mostly a third-down running back. I'm not sure what the coaching staff will do, but I do know Gordon has surely lost some touches due to how amazing Javonte Williams was in Week 13. Before he got injured, it was looking like a 55%/45% split in Gordon's favor, this week I expect that number to favor Williams largely.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Chiefs

Melvin Gordon is doing everything asked of him, even if fantasy Twitter is chomping at the bit to see Javonte Williams unleashed. According to multiple practice reports and insiders, it seems like Melvin Gordon is a real 50/50 shot to play this week. If that happens, we should expect to see more work from Javonte Williams, while Gordon spells him.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Chargers

Melvin Gordon’s usage still continues to be strong, but until one player gets the full workload, both Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon will only be flex plays. Before the bye was the first week all season that Gordon logged fewer snaps than Williams, we'll see if it's a one-week thing or if it continues coming out of the bye. According to our hot spot tool, both Gordon and Williams are good plays against the Chargers this weekend.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Eagles

In a game that features the Denver Broncos as a 2.5 point favorite over the Philadelphia Eagles, we should see a slow pace game that should feature a heavy ground attack. Even though Javonte Williams had a strong game last week, Gordon still out-touched him 23-17 and he still had a good game of his own by turning those 23 touches into 95 yards and a touchdown. Gordon is still getting a ton of work and this week won't be any different with an Eagles team that is giving up the eighth-most points to running backs this season.

DEN RB Melvin Gordon - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cowboys

Melvin Gordon still seems the play we want to chase out of the Denver Broncos backfield this week. Over the past two weeks, it seems Gordon is gaining a higher-touch share between him and Javonte Williams with a 57% to 43% in favor of Melvin Gordon in total snaps played. Also, Gordon finding the endzone three times in the past two games has helped buoy his fantasy points. The Cowboys are also giving up 17.1 fantasy points in half PPR to RBs which is about league average, so this won’t be a matchup to avoid.
