2022 Outlook
Depth Chart
Given where he was drafted (15th overall in 2015), Gordon's NFL career must at least be considered a mild disappointment. Granted, he's heading into his eighth year in the league, and he's accounted for more than 8,000 total yards in that time, but he managed just one 1,000-yard rushing campaign and has shown a penchant for fumbling issues cropping up at the most inopportune times. As noted, the veteran returned on a one-year deal for what will likely be a reduced role, so it doesn't appear that he had a lot of suitors on the open market.

Even at age 29, however, Gordon still has breakaway speed, and as such he's a threat to take it to the house any time he gets the ball in space. He has good hands as well, making him a three-down option for Hackett to utilize. After serving in a 1a/1b capacity with Williams in 2021, Gordon is likely to function as more of a true No. 2 back in 2022. As such, he's a low-end RB3 or flex target.

News From The Past 90 Days
Broncos bring back Melvin Gordon
One-year deal
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Apr 26, 11:00 pm

Denver Broncos
#Broncos RB Melvin Gordon is re-signing with Denver, as the two sides have agreed to terms on a 1-year deal worth up to $5M, source said. A key move before the draft. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: The hope of Javonte Williams having the majority of the backfield to himself in 2022 just got less likely. It seems Williams will the preferred fantasy option but Gordon will prove to be a thorn in the side of Williams and a headache for fantasy owners.
