Melvin Gordon III Has Opportunity In Week 2
3 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III wasn't a sexy pick in fantasy drafts because of the presence of rookie second-rounder Javonte Williams. Both running backs split snaps evenly down the middle (50 percent each) in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants, but it was Gordon who out-produced Williams on the ground -- 101 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown scamper -- on three fewer carries than Williams. The two rushers will continue to split touches in Denver's backfield, and while Williams is the sexy pick to finish as the leading rusher by season's end, Gordon isn't going away anytime soon. And he'll also be facing a Jaguars run defense that allowed 120 yards and two rushing touchdowns in Week 1 to the Texans. Gordon will be a low-end RB2 this Sunday against Jacksonville.
