While much of the focus is on the upcoming 2022 NFL draft and rookie landing spots, fantasy football managers were treated to some news late Tuesday night that running back Melvin Gordon will return to the Denver Broncos on a one-year deal.
The sounds of wailing and torment you hear in the distance represent the agony and utter disappointment from Javonte Williams dynasty managers and those who planned on drafting him early in 2022.
The deal makes sense for the Broncos from a real football sense. Gordon proved he can still be a very productive back in 2021 when he split the workload with Williams almost perfectly down the middle.
Gordon took 203 carries for 918 rushing yards and eight touchdowns while adding 28 receptions for 213 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. He finished as the RB20 in PPR scoring and had seven weekly finishes inside the top-24.
