So you know how I literally just mentioned how terrible the Browns are against the run? Turns out, Melvin Gordon is immune to producing in such an advantageous matchup. I know Gordon had somewhat of a decent outing on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it's not like he had a huge game or anything. He was just okay, and the week five matchup is a lot more telling of how ineffective he's been thus far.
Not to turn this into too much of a Browns-centric piece this week, but the other running backs that have ran all over them this year have been Chris Ivory, Dexter McCluster (DEXTER MCCLUSTER!), Latavius Murray, and Justin Forsett. All talented players in their own right, but we're not exactly talking about murderer's row here; it's not like Adrian Peterson and Le'Veon Bell make up for the bulk of those 747 yards allowed. Gordon couldn't get it done against Cleveland and has been a general disappointment so far this year.
Hopefully you've acquired enough running back depth so that you don't have to rely on Gordon as your RB2 at this point. You can safely bench him barring a breakout or bye week need. Besides, Danny Woodhead is stealing enough of the touches out of the backfield as it is anyway.
