Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon could pay big dividends for fantasy owners as he takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. Gordon is fresh of a bye week and a key cog in the Chargers’ offense.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 10: What to do with Melvin Gordon
The Chargers’ top running back may be a top play this week. We break down the fantasy implications.

So far this season he’s carried the ball 131 times for 526 yards and scored four rushing touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: Gordon is an impactful player without a doubt, but his value is slightly higher in PPR formats. While he did have his best game of the season against the New England Patriots, Gordon is averaging just 65 yards per game on the ground.
Fantasy owners need not get too discouraged however. The Jaguars give up just under 125 yards per game to opposing running backs. Given that, it’s not a stretch to think Gordon will surpass 20 carries for the third time this season.
Add that kind of volume to some catches out of the backfield and Gordon should deliver back-to-back big games for owners.
Recommendation: Sit
