I guess I missed where I did that in the comment.
Gordon has had 20 total TDs (17 rushing) in Denver, with 900+ yards the last two seasons. Splitting the load two years ago with Lindsay and Williams. Last season, Williams accounted for nearly the same yardage as Gordon and was used often in the passing game.
Denver's passing game has been terrible, no secret there. Improvement there opens up the run game and vice versa. All signs point to Williams being the true #1 this season, likely more like the split from 2019 with Gordon taking more than Lindsay. Both will be heavily used and offer up options in the passing game.
It's a very solid 1-2 punch at RB with those two. Either is capable of taking over a game, but we should see Williams surpass the 1200 yard mark this year with Gordon coming in around the 600-700 mark.
