Week 9 brought us successful returns and boosts to two backfields. Week 10 could bring another return, although the success may not be immediate.
After sitting out Week 7 with a hamstring injury, Melvin Gordon got some extra rest during the Week 8 bye and was back out in front of the Los Angeles Chargers backfield in a Week 9 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He notched his third 100-yard rushing effort of the season and showed no ill effects of the injury.
The Minnesota Vikings decided to work Dalvin Cook back into the mix following a hamstring injury that had been a problem since Week 2.
