Except that Gordon is a aging vet on his third contract who signed a one year contract for peanuts. He's got a lot of mileage on him. Dillon is young and still on a rookie contract and very little mileage on him. Guess we'll have to see how this plays out.more fuel to the fire
Broncos OC Justin Outten said Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon will be on a "pitch count" throughout the season.
It's another dagger to those drafting Williams as a surefire RB1 at the top of fantasy drafts. Signs continue to point to the Broncos wanting to split duties between the sophomore and veteran Gordon, who was re-signed to a one-year deal deep into free agency. Williams can still get to top-12 status among fantasy backs, but he's going to have to do it with big plays and touchdowns, something he's capable of, though Gordon will be in the way. Outten and new coach Nathaniel Hackett came from a Green Bay offense where Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon pretty much split work right down the middle in an effort to keep both fresh.

Gordon will get usage, there's zero doubt. But Hacket and Wilson will quickly tire of sub 4ypc and more fumbles than one should have when they know they have a superior option around.more fuel to the fire

Wouldn't it be great if all these day 3 supposed to be wunderkids fell on their faces against said car washers and insurance salesmen, and then we wouldn't have to worry about it?for a skill position class that "lacked studs" and was widely considered to have OK depth at WR and lacking overall talent at RB, feel like the rookie fever has been amplified leading up to these preseason games, and is only going to get worse when these rooks take snaps against a bunch of future insurance salesmen/car wash attendants playing defense the next 3 weekends

Of course one will shine, and I'm sure it'll be one I railed against
You should have tagged @averagejoe in this...for a skill position class that "lacked studs" and was widely considered to have OK depth at WR and lacking overall talent at RB, feel like the rookie fever has been amplified leading up to these preseason games, and is only going to get worse when these rooks take snaps against a bunch of future insurance salesmen/car wash attendants playing defense the next 3 weekends

FWIW, I actually thought the WR depth in last year's draft was good. The issue, imo, is that teams drafted WRs about 5-20 spots before they should've gone almost across the board so the expectation curve is all screwed up.for a skill position class that "lacked studs" and was widely considered to have OK depth at WR and lacking overall talent at RB, feel like the rookie fever has been amplified leading up to these preseason games, and is only going to get worse when these rooks take snaps against a bunch of future insurance salesmen/car wash attendants playing defense the next 3 weekends

Becton out of the season, or at least the majority of the season...ouch for any Jets skill position guys, always hurts losing the best OL on the team
Not a good start for a Zach Wilson improvement this year.
I want to say there was an announcer who would say that during preseason games back in the day. Would probably be someone on the Redskins broadcasts, since there was little TV coverage back then during the preseason. But downplaying some 2nd half preseason "stud" because he is playing against "guys who are bagging groceries next week" has been my go to for years and I am pretty sure that's where I picked it up from.hahah I always like ot go with Grocery store stocker..but then that pisses off Kurt Warner
