Melvin Gordon III expected to play in Week 6

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting Broncos RB Melvin Gordon III (hip) is expected to play in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Gordon is dealing with a hip issue but is in line to play in Sunday’s matchup with the Raiders. While Gordon is sharing time with Javonte Williams, he’s still playing 30+ snaps per game. It is important to note that Gordon is coming off back-to-back games with 11 touches, both season lows. It could be injury or it could be the pendulum swaying in Williams’ favor. Either way, Gordon’s matchup with the Raiders is a favorable one. He could be deployed in your Flex spot. With all the injuries to running backs and bye weeks starting, you may not have a better option.
