A healthy Melvin Gordon is an advantage for the Broncos offense. So far this season, Gordon has taken at least half of the offensive snaps in each of the first six games. Gordon has had at least ten touches per game.
He has 332 rushing yards and two touchdowns and has been a presence in the receiving game as well due to injuries to wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler. Gordon also has 13 receptions for 119 receiving yards on the season as well.
Even with running back Javonte Williams as part of the Broncos offense, Gordon's production has remained high. Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams seem to be splitting the work in the backfield this season, which has proven to be beneficial for both through the first six weeks of the season.
The Denver Broncos are heading into Week 7 with a three-game losing streak after winning their first three games of the season.
Now standing at 3-3 and tied with the Kansas City Chiefs towards the bottom of the AFC West division, a win is necessary to get back to .500 and keep the season's hopes alive.
A win against the Cleveland Browns would be integral in doing so for the Broncos.
