Melvin Gordon 2018 Outlook
Gordon had a strong 2017, rushing for more than 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns and adding four more (and nearly 500 yards) as a receiver. Gordon played through some nagging injuries and at one point was challenged by HC Anthony Lynn to get back to being a more physical back and collecting yards after contact. Gordon responded, and over his final four games finished with 77 carries for 330 yards and three touchdowns and 16 catches for 174 yards pleasing his head coach. "I thought he was one of the best runners in the game the last four weeks," Lynn said. The Chargers offensive line could be better in 2018 as well. The team added center Mike Pouncey as a free agent from Miami, and right guard Forrest Lamp will hopefully be healthy after missing his rookie season in 2017 with a torn ACL. Better blocking should help Gordon improve on his career average of 3.8 yards per carry, but, as Lynn pointed out, over those final four games Gordon averaged 4.3 yards per carry. That has Lynn even more excited for Gordon’s outlook this year. "We're talking about giving the ball to Melvin more," Lynn said. Fantasy owners take note.

Melvin Gordon 2017 Outlook
New HC Anthony Lynn likes the direction Gordon is headed, but he believes he can get even more out of him. "Man, he has some upside," Lynn said in February. "He did a hell of a job from his rookie year to his sophomore year. And I told him we can take this to another level." That is music to fantasy owners' ears. After a disappointing rookie year, Gordon proved to be the back the team moved up the board to draft, finishing 2016 three yards shy of 1,000 yards with 10 rushing TDs in just 13 games. The question this year is whether he can match last year's production if the touchdown total diminishes. The good news? In addition to Gordon avoiding surgery after a late-season knee injury, Lynn's arrival is a positive. Whether as OC last season, or as a RBs coach prior to that, Lynn has constructed nine 1,000-yard rushing seasons in his 14 years coaching the position (since 2003). Gordon's meager 3.9 yards per carry belied his burst and power to break first contact behind an offensive line that opened few holes. There's reason to believe Lynn can help with some of that.

Melvin Gordon 2016 Outlook
Working his way back from a knee injury, Gordon increased his workload over the course of the off-season program. Combined with a better understanding of the playbook, he turned heads in recent workouts. "He definitely finished strong," said OC Ken Whisenhunt. "You could see him get more comfortable with the runs we're asking him to do. ..." It's no secret that 2015 was a difficult year for Gordon the rookie. The highly touted RB admits he did not live up to the billing, and no one was more disappointed in his performance than himself. Gordon averaged 3.5 yards a carry and after scoring 32 touchdowns his final season at Wisconsin, he was held without a score his first season as a pro. The underdog role is one that Gordon has never played before in his career, but he believes it suits him perfectly for 2016. "I have something to prove more than ever before, and I like that way right now," he said. For fantasy owners, last year's poor showing will drive his price down. Assuming Gordon is fully recovered from last year's knee surgery as expected, he should provide considerable fantasy value with some upside.
