Denver Broncos’ Melvin Gordon III RB: NFL Fantasy Data & Stats Speculations 2022

Player Outlook

Melvin Gordon has two 50-catch seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers and four seasons with at least 40 receptions before signing with the Denver Broncos in 2020. Melvin Gordon’s NFL career has been fascinating. The running back was the 15th overall pick in the 2015 draught, and there were great hopes for him.

The Wisconsin product struggled to gain more than four yards per rush in any of his first two seasons with the Chargers, marking a dismal start to his NFL career.

This year, Gordon moved back to Denver, where he will likely face off against Javonte Williams for touches. Williams is the player we prefer, but Gordon can still be a low-end starter or flex in most leagues.

Although Gordon may not be as appealing as an RB1 he once was, there is still value in selecting him in a draught. Although he is only 29 years old and demonstrated last year that he still has gas in the tank, he is thought to be on the decline in his career due to his age.

While Gordon’s role in the Broncos’ backfield changed last year, he still managed to put up some respectable statistics. Although Melvin Gordon isn’t the fantasy RB1 he once was, you shouldn’t hesitate to get him if the circumstances are perfect.
