Melvin Gordon, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

FanDuel Price: $8,800
Projected Points: 18.4

Guess who ranks just two spots below Gurley in terms of fantasy points per game among all running backs?

That would be the other stud running back in Los Angeles, Melvin Gordon, who has topped 100.0 yards in three-of-five games and already found the end zone 6 times this season.

He does share some duties in the backfield with Austin Ekeler, but still has the sixth-highest market share percentage of any running back in the league. That bodes very well for him as he will be on the road this week against the Cleveland Browns, who are giving up the 10th-most FanDuel points per game to opposing RB1s.

With Gordon topping 20.0 FanDuel points four times already this season, including two performances of over 27.0, he has proven his worth as a top-end running back. And with Cleveland not showing any signs of being able to control opposing running backs this season, the Gordon train is in line to keep rolling in Week 6.
