Phillip Lindsay

Lindsay has been a revelation this season for the Denver Broncos. All of the offseason talk was about another rookie, Royce Freeman becoming the workhorse back and taking Devontae Booker's job.

Lindsay has come out of nowhere and produced solid displays in over half of his matchups. This week Lindsay gets to be the lead back for the Broncos, with Freeman out nursing a high ankle sprain. This means an uptick in volume for Lindsay that could register around the 20-25 touch range.

He is currently third among all running backs with 5.8 YPC and has shown he can contribute in the passing game, with a 6 catch performance against the Rams in week 6. The only downside for Lindsay has been his lack of goal-line carries, as Royce Freeman has taken the majority of work near the goalline. This week, however, it is all Lindsay’s.
