Broncos RB Melvin Gordon benched on MNF

Oct 18, 2022

Two-time Pro Bowler Melvin Gordon logged only eight snaps -- none past the second quarter -- in Denver's 19-16 overtime loss and had only three official carries for eight yards after an apparent demotion to third choice in the Broncos' backfield.

"I'm not gonna lie. It hurt a little today watching," Gordon told NFL Network's Bridget Condon following the loss.

Fantasy Impact:

The Broncos decided to ride Murray and Boone after benching Gordon, likely leaving fantasy owners in just as much shock as Gordon himself. Obviously this will be something to follow in the coming days. Gordon won't be able to be trusted even if he's active for Week 7. Meanwhile, Murray looked pretty good running on early down while Boone took over on passing downs.

“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

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.
