Dan Karpuc: Melvin Gordon Over 12.5 Receiving Yards
As I wrote in my Thursday Night Football Player Prop Values article, with Javonte Williams out for the year, Melvin Gordon should see the bulk of the playing time and touches at the running back position. Indy has surrendered 7.25 targets and 43.25 receiving yards per game (7.52 yards per catch) to opposing running backs this season and I expect Gordon to make an impact in the passing game, just like he has in previous years. Keep in mind that in Week 3, he caught five of six targets for 29 yards against the 49ers with Williams healthy. Keep in mind that the Colts rank first in receiving yards allowed to wide receivers (114) and have allowed the second-fewest targets (15.5) to wideouts, so the tough WR matchup could also work in Gordon's favor.
