Broncos place Phillip Lindsay (hip, knee) on injured reserve
The Denver Broncos placed running back Phillip Lindsay (hip, knee) on the injured reserve.
What It Means:
Lindsay has been battling injuries throughout the season, and the Broncos have now made the decision to shut him down for the remainder of the season. He'll finish the year with 502 rushing yards and 1 touchdown.
With Lindsay done for the year, expect Melvin Gordon to operate as the Broncos' lead back and to receive a bump to his work load. Our models project him to score 13.8 fantasy points in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
