Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon are both expected to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both Williams and Gordon have been banged up the past few weeks leading to limited practices but there has never been any real concern about either not suiting up for today's contest. Both Williams and Gordon should be busy today as the Broncos have suffered losses to their receiving corps and draw an amazing matchup against a poor Chargers run defense. Williams and Gordon can be considered in DFS contests though their split in the backfield will limit the upside of each back.

Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon, and Courtland Sutton have all been listed questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. As of now there is no real concern for Williams or Gordon to miss this weekend's game, they have been banged up but are expected to see their normal split in a good matchup against the poor Chargers run defense. Sutton has been listed as questionable with an illness and the fear is that he could possibly be placed on the COVID list joining fellow receivers Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick. If this were to be the case, Kendall Hinton would be the top receiving option for the Broncos with practice squad members helping to fill in. It will be important to monitor Sutton's status tomorrow and Sunday as some receiver value could open up if he were to be ruled out.

Melvin Gordon returned to practice Thursday ahead of the Broncos matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Gordon missed practiced yesterday but this was likely used more as a maintenance day. Gordon should be ready to go by this weekend where he should play a large role in the offense. With no Teddy Bridgewater, the Broncos will likely lean on the run game even more than they normally do meaning more work for Gordon and Javonte Williams. Both backs can be considered at their respective price points but will limit the other’s upside. It will be important to ensure Gordon’s availability as the week progresses by checking his listing on the injury report released Friday.

Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon are both expected to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Williams is dealing with a knee injury but should be in line to see his normal amount of touches against a weaker Bengals run defense. The same can be said for Gordon who is dealing with a hand injury. If either were to suffer a setback the healthy back would instantly become one of the better plays on the slate due to expected volume.
