“Broncos beat: Javonte will lead team in carries https://t.co/YfQbOpBsWi”

Dynasty or keeper yes this is great news.

I see. Theres a big difference to me is lamar and pierce were eating a ton of carries too. There's also a difference in skill set and part from ingram and Gordon. Gordon is 28 and people act like it's 31 like ingram's was last season. Gordon is more versatile athletic rb, who thrives as a wr and good for preserving himself. So I think he'll be much more productive than ingram at 31.

I said Ingram is a talented veteran running back... Not his last season. Ingram was a top 12 back on a high powered offense and td dependent that season. The broncos are no where near as run heavy nor are they high powered offense purely because their QB situation. So this is a poor man's version of this. Whatever biaes we want to bring outside of that don't change the fact that the Broncos are splitting their backfield on mediocre offense at best. It will positively regress some from last year, but enough to be confident in starting Gordon or Javonte all season no. The odds of Rbs busting after Rd 3 is substantial based off the past 10 years of fantasy data. Do I love Melvin as a talent and have no idea why they drafted an rb? Yes! Will I continue to be loyal to his past production when his management clearly thinks otherwise? No. If you're willing to take that risk kudos.

That's the risk your willing to take.

Is Melvin Gordon III dead?

I don’t believe nonsense like this, Gordon III is a great RB and they paid him $8 Million Per Year to be some scrub rookie’s backup?? I don’t think so

A better way to say that would be, Gordon III is still a good running back and they paid him 8 million per year to complement Phil Lindsay. However, neither one fits the bill on and off the field and they traded up to draft a highly productive prospect to eventually take over the backfield

But Melvin wasn't brought in to compliment lindsay though. 3 seasons ago he elite. 2 season so he got hurt but came back elite and got out of SD. Last season he played really well in a throw away season because the ton of injuries. Now, people are subconsciousnessly blaming him for the teams lack of performance and how he left sd. And Williams is rookie ie a ???

Javonte Williams is a beast. His tackle breaking skills are off the charts. I think they will compliment each other well, but Gordon is a great pass catcher and a stud as well. They didn’t pay him 8mil to watch a rookie. They’re gonna ride Gordon and break Williams in and then just 1 - 2 punch… we just need Rodgers to come over!

So was zach moss. That's college fam. We don't know how his game will translate yet so the most certain about that backfield and offense as whole is Melvin Gordon's production.

Ya MG3 has just been a guy you can give 25 carries to and can pick up positive yardage. He’s good but not great. He’s oft injured and declining in production year after year. When both him and Lindsay were healthy they had a 50/50 split. Javonte was hand picked to lead this backfield at some point….I’m guessing this season by week 7

I think you're missing that his volume has shifted due to injury and moving to Denver. For example, he's avg 4.6 ypc which is his second best, but then his ypr is 5.3 which down from 8-9 ypr because the QB issues and playing in Denver. He also got 3 targets in Denver as opposed to 5 in SD. So, he just as effective as he's been yet not in a better situation, so far.

Gordon's contract is done after this year. He isnt the future.... anywhere..... Holdout. DUI. Fumbles This guy has ruined his rep. 1000 scrimmage yards in a year makes you replaceable. Only 1 x 1000 yard rushing season and recieving stats dropping. He is mediocre. Hence why Denver drafted a rb
