How to approach Melvin Gordon in fantasy drafts - Jeff Ratcliffe
Of course, if you draft Gordon, it’s all but essential to handcuff him. Unlike with Conner, who was a slam dunk handcuff to Bell last year, there are two possible candidates in the Chargers backfield: Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson. While some may look to Ekeler as the clear handcuff, his profile as more of a pass-catching back should give us at least some pause. The good news is that Gordon did miss time last year, so we at least have somewhat of a working idea of what to expect.
