Phillip Lindsay

Lindsay does have 1,000+ yards in each of his first two seasons but the Broncos brought in Melvin Gordon this off-season to take over as the lead back. Lindsay will still have a role, but it won't be large enough to rely on him in fantasy unless Gordon were to suffer an injury.

Phillip Lindsay contract extension on hold

Speaking with the media about a potential contract extension with running back Phillip Lindsay, Broncos general manager John Elway said “we’ll see where everything falls after free agency, after the draft (and) how much money we have. We would like to be able to do something. Obviously, Phillip’s been great. If we can do something, we’ll try.”

Fantasy Impact

As an undrafted free agent, Lindsay could sign an extension this year versus the need to wait until after his third year. Lindsay is currently in line to play for close to the league minimum in 2020 at a position that is notorious for short careers and injuries. Of course, if he turns in another strong campaign in 2020 his price would only go up in 2021. It will be interesting to see what the team does with Lindsay, who has made no indication that he will hold out for a new deal. Lindsay is currently the RB24 in our early expert consensus rankings.
