Melvin Gordon III Could Be Sneaky Play Against Chiefs
4 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was a disappointment yet again in Week 12 against the Saints, logging 12 carries for only 31 yards and not catching a pass for the third straight game. Gordon's fantasy value in Week 13 against the division-rival Chiefs will depend on whether Phillip Lindsay (knee) is active. He has seen 20-plus touches in two of the three games that Lindsay has missed this year, so Gordon would have RB2 upside this Sunday night if Lindsay doesn't suit up. Kansas City is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to RBs in 2020, including 59 total receptions, so Gordon should be involved plenty. If Lindsay is active, though, Gordon will go back to being more of a high-end RB3/flex while splitting the backfield work almost evenly. The 27-year-old had 17 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Week 7 snow game against the Chiefs.
