DEN RB Phillip Lindsay - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
After not doing much the first two weeks of the season, Phillip Lindsay got it going last Sunday in Green Bay. He led the Broncos with 21 carries for 81 yards and two scores. He also caught four passes for 49 yards. It was the first game in ’19 Denver had more rushing attempts than passes, with the ground game accounting for 149 yards. Lindsay and Royce Freeman have been splitting touches, a trend that will continue. The Jags defense is yielding 110 rushing yards per game, so Lindsay is an RB2 play.

DEN RB Phillip Lindsay - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Green Bay Packers
Last Sunday versus the Bears, Phillip Lindsay finished with 36 yards on the ground and 30 receiving yards. He and Royce Freeman continue to share playing time, as Lindsay received 17 touches compared to Freeman’s 16. In the first two weeks, Freeman has been the more productive back, but a balanced approach will remain. Therefore, don’t expect a big game from either RB this week at Green Bay, whose D has allowed just 19 total points.

DEN RB Phillip Lindsay - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Chicago Bears
Versus the Raiders last Monday night, Phillip Lindsay and the Denver ground game were stuffed for much of the contest. Lindsay ran for just 43 yards on 11 carries and caught four passes for 23 yards. Royce Freeman ended up with 10 rushing attempts in what was a pretty evenly split backfield. Chicago’s D limited the Packers ground game to less than 50 yards in the opener, so expect another tough week for Lindsay and Freeman. Consider Lindsay an RB3/flex play on Sunday.

DEN RB Phillip Lindsay - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Oakland Raiders
Fully recovered from his wrist injury at the end of last year in Oakland, Phillip Lindsay will be ready for the regular season opener. All he did during his rookie campaign was rush for over 1,000 yards and scored 10 times. In his game-and-a-half versus the Raiders in ’18, he ran for 153 yards. The Broncos are planning to use both Lindsay and Royce Freeman, which could cut into Lindsay’s touches. He makes for more of an RB2 play in the opener Monday night.

DEN RB Phillip Lindsay - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
What a surprise Phillip Lindsay turned out to be during his rookie season. After going undrafted, he broke out in Week 1, totaling 102 yards and a score versus Seattle. Playing in 15 games, Lindsay ran for over 1,000 yards, averaging a healthy 5.4 yards per carry, and totaled 10 TDs. He rushed for at least 90 yards five times and registered over 100 scrimmage yards on six occasions. Originally projected to be the third-down back, he has good hands, finishing with 35 grabs.

Fantasy Downside
In the second to last regular season game last season, Lindsay injured his wrist and required months of rehab to be ready for training camp. His small size will always make people question his durability and will limit his number of touches per game, especially earlier in the season, as the Broncos would like him to be as fresh as possible come December. Lindsay’s TDs again may need to come from distance, as fellow second-year back Royce Freeman will likely be used in short-yardage situations.

Bottom Line
After an off-season to recover, Lindsay’s wrist should be healed and he’s expected to again be the Broncos top RB, in front of Freeman and veteran Devontae Booker. With Joe Flacco now under center for the Broncos, defenses should have to respect the passing attack more than when Case Keenum and Paxton Lynch were at the help, which will help the ground game. Lindsay falls in our mid-20s for Standard leagues and is primed for another strong season.

DEN RB Phillip Lindsay - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Oakland Raiders

The Browns forced Case Keenum to beat them last Saturday, keeping eight defenders in the box for much of the contest. As a result, Phillip Lindsay turned 14 carries into just 24 yards – his lowest total since Week 6. Lindsay registered 20 yards on four receptions in the loss, expect the Raiders to use a similar tactic on Monday night, especially since the rookie ran for 107 yards in the September meeting. Lindsay has rushed for a total of only 54 yards the past two weeks but should have more success in Oakland on Monday versus the league’s worst run defense.

DEN RB Phillip Lindsay - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 – Phillip Lindsay vs. Cleveland Browns

Even though his team was behind by three TDs in the first half last week at San Francisco, Phillip Lindsay posted a decent fantasy outing. He ran for 30 yards and a score and caught four passes for 21 yards. Lindsay continued to be the featured RB, receiving 14 carries compared to Royce Freeman’s six. Cleveland’s defense is allowing over 130 yards per game on the ground, so keep on starting Lindsay.
