Melvin Gordon III expected to play in Week 5

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting Broncos RB Melvin Gordon III (leg) is expected to play in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact: Gordon is dealing with a lower leg injury, but “should be good” for Sunday’s tilt at Pittsburgh. Gordon was banged up last week too, but still played 30 snaps and managed 10 touches for 67 total yards. Gordon gets a Steelers defense that is surrendering the sixth-fewest FPPG to enemy backs. You can beat the Steelers through the air this season, but their defense is still stout against the run. If you have better options than Gordon, look that way when setting fantasy lineups.
