Melvin Gordon Has Averaged 31.4 FanDuel Points Over Past 2 Games

There have only been seven occurrences of a running back reaching 30 FanDuel points in a game this season. Two of those belong to Melvin Gordon, who followed up his 31.3 FanDuel point-performance in Week 5 with 31.5 FanDuel points against the Oakland Raiders in Week 6.

He has seen a significant increase in touches over the past two weeks, resulting in his two best statistical performances of the season.

Carries Yards TD Rec Yards TD
Week 1-4 13.5 42.0 0.5 3.25 24.25 0.25
Week 5-6 22.5 94.0 0.5 7.5 62.5 1.5


Although the Los Angeles Chargers have had a point differential of 5 or less in each game this season, the heavy workload for Gordon has led the Chargers to their first two wins.

He will get a tough test in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos, who are giving up the fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs. But there is a glimmer of hope after Orleans Darkwa turned 22 touches into 130 total yards against the Broncos in Week 6.
