Melvin Gordon 2021 Outlook
In a move that seemed odd at the time, Gordon signed with the Broncos last offseason. He made the Pro Bowl with the Chargers and averaged 50 receptions over the previous three seasons. However, Denver already had its own Pro Bowler in Phillip Lindsay. Nonetheless, after a slow start, Gordon averaged 4.98 yards per carry over the final eight games and led the Broncos with 10 touchdowns. But Gordon also faced an off-field issue as he was charged with a DUI and speeding on Oct. 14. If convicted, Gordon faced a three-game suspension by the NFL and a possibility the Broncos might release him. Instead, he pleaded guilty to reckless driving and the DUI charges were eventually dismissed due to evidentiary concerns. "Man, I was super relieved. I am not going to lie to you," Gordon said. While Gordon became the Broncos' most productive offensive player, he did not reach his goals. He fell short of 1,000 yards but believes at age 28, his best football remains ahead of him. Even with Lindsay now in Houston and out of the picture, there's a new obstacle: Rookie Javonte Williams, who will provide even more serious competition for touches than Lindsay did. Assuming Gordon remains the starter, Williams will still be a limiting factor.

Melvin Gordon 2020 Outlook
In five seasons with the Chargers, Gordon compiled 6,113 scrimmage yards and generated three seasons with 12-plus touchdowns. Still, Gordon felt the Chargers' offense was holding him back. “It kind of wasn't a system built for me," he recently said. "But I feel like Denver kinda runs my style of football, and I think it's a great fit." The Broncos signed Gordon to a two-year deal believing the running back's dual-threat skillset will mesh better with the type of offense new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur wants to run. While the Chargers want to feature play-action and more wide zone runs under Anthony Lynn, Gordon highlighted the Broncos' use of inside zone runs that allow him to read the line and then simply hit the crease. First, however, Gordon will have to beat out Phillip Lindsay for snaps, and show that averaging 3.9 yards per carry or fewer in four out of his first five seasons was a product of the Chargers' offense, not his own deficiencies. That said, because Gordon will share the load, his production is unlikely to exceed his numbers from 2017, when he logged 284 carries and 1,105 rushing yards in the only 16-game season of his career to date. That said, count on him to be used plenty at the goal line in Denver. The touchdowns should still come.

Melvin Gordon 2019 Outlook
Gordon heads into the final year of the contract he signed as a 2015 first-round pick, having thus far delivered at a high level. So, why no extension? "He's a three-down back and puts a lot of balls in the end zone for us, a lot of touchdowns," GM Tom Telesco recently said. "He's a great player. We've got him and a number of other guys that we will look at extending at some point. ..." But how much will the Chargers be willing to pay? And when? Remember, they played four games without Gordon last season and won them all, including huge victories at Pittsburgh and Kansas City. Those results were a testament to the players who filled in for Gordon -- most notably Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson and even undrafted rookie Detrez Newsome -- but also a bit of a statistical oddity. The Chargers averaged only 84 yards rushing in those four wins, a 33-yard-per-game drop from their season standard. So, even though the offense is undoubtedly better with Gordon -- he finished inside the top 10 in the league last season in broken tackles and yards gained after contact -- the presence of those other backs is worth noting, especially when you're splitting hairs within this tier of high-end fantasy
