Fantasy Football Player Notes

Gordon finally showed signs of life in Week 9 against the Packers, though he still averaged just four yards per carry. With Los Angeles looking to perhaps rely on the run more, Gordon should at least hopefully see the 20-plus touches he saw last week. If he does, he should be at worst a strong RB2 going forward.

If there were a schedule you could draw up for a running back over the final two weeks, it's the one Lindsay has. He'll play against the Chiefs and Lions, two teams that have been a playground for opposing running backs. They've been two of the three worst teams in the league against fantasy running backs, which means there are enough fantasy points available to support a timeshare, though Lindsay has been the clear-cut workhorse for the Broncos over the last three weeks.

Sutton has had a very solid year overall, but the excitement after the Emmanuel Sanders trades now looks unwarranted. His first game without Sanders was his typical effort, and now Joe Flacco may be done for the season. Sutton sees the targets and is essentially the only game in town, so he's a surefire starter. But there's less optimism with him now than there had been immediately after the Sanders trade.

It may be tempting to drop Freeman knowing it's the Phillip Lindsay show, but with the remaining schedule the Broncos have, Freeman might be the most valuable handcuff. in fantasy football. In fact, it's possible he has standalone value against the Chiefs and Lions, who both rank in the bottom-three against fantasy running backs.

Since Emmanuel Sanders was traded to San Francisco, Fant leads the Broncos in targets and has seen a handful of red zone looks as well. The matchup isn't ideal this week in Buffalo but we are talking about a rest of season top 12 tight end.

Hamilton has an excellent matchup Thursday night against the Chiefs but even in a matchup like this, the #3 receiver from a bad offense won't be a start-worthy option.
