Melvin Gordon III Facing Old Team Again This Weekend
4 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III will face his old team, the Chargers, for the second time this season in Week 16. He'll be hoping for a better performance after carrying the ball eight times for just 26 yards against them back in Week 8. He also had a season-high six receptions for 21 yards in that contest. While the 27-year-old continues to share carries with Phillip Lindsay, Gordon has been by far the more productive and efficient back for Denver. He's had 291 yards on 51 carries (5.71 yards per carry) in the last month, compared to Lindsay's 108 yards on 45 carries (2.4 YPC). The Chargers Defense has given up 4.64 YPC this year, which is the seventh-highest mark in the NFL. Gordon is coming off a two-touchdown performance against the Bills and should be a midrange RB2 this weekend in another revenge game.
