RB Melvin Gordon will not travel with Broncos to NEw England because of illness, per source. Unfortunate but smart move by team during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If DJ Moore was doing what Jamison Crowder IS doing, we'd all be having one huge Twitter circle jerk

But b/c it's Crowder, and b/c he's on the Jets, no one realizes he is 1st in yards per game (111.7), has 7+ rec & 100+ yds every time he's played, and is 2nd in FPPG (22.5)

Broncos Noah Fant is out. Will not travel to New England, per source

Hope he gets back soon. I was super high on him in the draft. Never did get him though.

I like that Gordon isn’t traveling. Lindsey is starting for me this week with Jacobs out.

I wish I had Crowder in more than one league.

This week's game between the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings will continue as scheduled despite the Falcons shutting down their facility earlier in the week because of a positive COVID-19 test, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The NFL was aware of the #Patriots' situation, with three more players landing on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and comfortable protocols have been followed.

Sunday's game against the #Broncos -- and all other games on the Week 6 slate -- remain on as scheduled.

Add Drew Lock to this list. Lock set to start for Broncos tomorrow.

Interested to see what happens with Tim Patrick in this game. Been hearing a little bit of buzz about him here and there.

If he has another game that's better than Jeudy's, I may pick him up.

The team doesn't plan to fine or suspend Gordon, sources say. He handled himself well after the incident, apologizing to everyone from teammates to president of football operations/general manager John Elway to team president/CEO Joe Ellis. And he was on track to play Sunday against the Patriots before showing up ill Friday.

But Gordon, 27, is in line for potential discipline from the NFL. The collective bargaining agreement ratified in March increased the mandatory suspension for DUI from two to three games, which would cost Gordon nearly $800,000 in game checks if served next season at his current salary. A suspension also could allow the Broncos to void a $4.5 million full guarantee on Gordon's 2021 base salary, though it's not clear whether they would do so.

Gordon's arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 13.

So we’re going to heavily fine coaches for not wearing their mask correctly, threaten to fine suspend and take draft picks for practicing while the facility is closed, nearly end players’ careers for smoking weed, but we aren’t going to do anything when a player is caught drinking and driving speeding 25-39 mph over speed limit? He def could have killed someone

Donte Stallworth was suspended a year and effectively had his career destroyed when he was drinking and driving and speeding and struck a pedestrian and killed the dude. It’s complete bs the league going to ignore Melvin Gordon here, that could have been really bad

MGIII destroyed any shred of hope for my RBs. I’ve taken a beating there and can’t trade any of them. Luckily pulled Chubb off waivers so hoping for good news soon.

I sound like a broken record, but that kind of shite never happens in the leagues that I play in.

Just discussed on #FFNow... Travis Fulgham has scored each of the last 2 weeks, had a team high 25.8% target share the last 2 weeks, Sal Pal reporting from the game they expect him to once again be heavily involved.

Interesting storyline today after report says Fulgham will be the X receiver going forward as long as he continues to play well.

Yup. Best I've seen this year so far was Crowder when he got hurt and McKinnon this past week.
