Phillip Lindsay Week 11 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 19th 2020, 8:48am EST

We've gone back and forth every week on these two, trying to figure out who has the most value, but in the end, what if it's neither of them? Just once have one of them finished as a top-20 running back since Week 4. The Broncos defense is falling behind early and often, forcing them into a negative gamescript and passing more than they'd like. The Dolphins haven't allowed a rushing touchdown to a running back since way back in Week 4 and haven't allowed more than 128 yards on the ground to any team of running backs. It helps that they haven't faced many carries (21.8 per game), which is not great for this timeshare. They have allowed a high 6.55 yards per target to running backs, which ranks as the sixth-highest mark in the league, and part of the reason they've allowed the 13th-most fantasy points through the air to running backs. The Broncos haven't seemed to take advantage of matchups like this, like when they played the Falcons a few weeks ago, a team that had been crushed through the air by running backs, but Gordon and Lindsay combined for just one catch. Considering Gordon played double the snaps that Lindsay did, Gordon would be the preferred option, though he's nothing more than an RB3. Meanwhile, Lindsay finds himself in RB4 territory.
