Broncos: RB Melvin Gordon to 'carry the load obviously'

Oct 04, 2022

OC Justin Outten: “With Melvin Gordon he’s going to carry the load obviously."

Related players: Latavius Murray, Damarea Crockett, Mike Boone

Fantasy Impact:

Otten went on to say, "We’ll have a mix of Mike Boone and after that we’ve got to figure out who can spell and who feels best in that position. But we trust Melvin going forward here.” Gordon is dealing with a neck injury and has been limited, so it's a least a little unclear how much the other backs will see the field. Boone had three carries and a catch and is probably worth a pickup but his workload is a question until we see more. Murray was just signed and is coming off a 57-yard, one-TD performance with the Saints in Week 4 and could also get carries at some point.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
