People keep saying he's gonna fall off or get shut down but week in and week out, the dude just balls. Yeah, his YPC might suck but in that redzone, he gets the ball. I'm undefeated in one league thanks to him, Elliott and Ware and I wouldn't trade him for anything short of Rob Gronkowski at TE.



SD is unlikely to continue to get within 3 yards before scoring so frequently. 8 of his TD's have come within 3 yards (4 from the 1). I do not see the frequency of his short TD opportunities continuing for the entire season.

He has been doing better in the passing game and if SD spreads it out and uses him more as a receiver instead of running him so much, the offense would be better. They just mentioned today about perhaps cutting back on his touches also.

While all of this is reasonable, the argument I keep making for Gordon is simple. Who is going to take carries from him? He's the only option there. I guess the argument im making is for him to maintain RB2 status at a minimum, but still. He's the only thing theyve got in that backfield that has any value.
