Gordon trends:

This is Gordon’s first full game this year without RB Javonte Williams, who suffered a torn ACL in Week 4.

Even with Williams in the lineup, Gordon cleared 53.5 rushing yards in Week 1. He got close in Week 2 with 47 rushing yards.

Gordon has four fumbles on the year, and third-stringer Mike Boone has started to play more often, taking over for Gordon completely after his fumble against Las Vegas and Williams’ injury.

Gordon has caught eight of 10 targets this year, and has eclipsed 12.5 rushing yards twice.

News and Notes:

Jim Derry’s pick: Indianapolis (+3.5) 20, DENVER 19: Even with Jonathan Taylor and Shaq Leonard out for the Colts, this line is questionable at best. Hey Derry, how in the world can you like a team that is 27th in rushing WITH the NO. 1 consensus overall fantasy pick heading into the season and is now without him?

Well, it’s simple, Mrs. Aunt Mabel. Put down the fruitcake mix and save making the pralines for later and listen up. First, the Colts will be forced to lean on the passing game a bit more and will have to be creative. Second, the Broncos rushing defense hasn’t been impressive. Third, what in the world is wrong with Russell Wilson?

Nuff said. (Under 42.)
