Here’s a look at how Denver’s running back depth chart might shake out.
RB1: Melvin Gordon
The Broncos didn’t give Gordon a two-year, $16 million contract to have him serve as a backup. Gordon will start, sharing carries with Phillip Lindsay.
RB2: Phillip Lindsay
Lindsay is technically being “demoted” but that doesn’t mean he won’t be an important part of the offense. Lindsay should get plenty of touches in 2020 and splitting time with Gordon should help him stay fresh.
