Melvin Gordon III Listed As Co-Starter
4 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was listed as a co-starter with Phillip Lindsay when the team released their depth chart earlier this week. Gordon has also been bothered by a rib injury in the last week, but he returned to practice last Friday. The Broncos brought in the 27-year-old in free agency to be the lead back, but it sounds as though the team wants to go with more of a 50/50 split to start the season. There's bust potential with Gordon in his debut with Denver on Monday night against a sturdy Titans Defense that recently added Jadeveon Clowney, especially if Lindsay gets hot early and takes over with the hot hand. Monday night should give fantasy owners a better idea of how the Broncos plan to utilize both Gordon and Lindsay in their backfield.
