Finishes season on strong note Gordon rushed 12 times for 110 yards and a touchdown, brought in one of two targets for six yards and lost a fumble in the Broncos' 28-24 loss to the Chiefs on Saturday.

Impact Gordon impressively played through his nagging hip and thumb issues and generated his second-highest rushing yardage total of the campaign. The veteran's production was significantly boosted by an impressive 47-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, his eighth score on the ground in 2021. Gordon's Week 18 production left him 68 yards short of the 986 he compiled during his first Broncos season in 2020 over a 15-game span, but as he demonstrated Saturday, he still seems to have plenty left in the tank in terms of serving in a complementary role. Whether that unfolds next season in Denver in conjunction with Javonte Williams remains to be seen, however, as the latter arguably made a convincing case for full-time lead-back duties during his rookie campaign and Gordon is slated to become an unrestricted free agent come the new league year.

Cleared for Saturday's game Gordon (thumb/hip) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against Kansas City after practicing fully Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact That's also the case for Javonte Williams (knee), which sets the stage for the two backs to share carries in Denver's final contest of the season. While the timeshare somewhat caps Gordon's fantasy ceiling, he normally sees enough touches to help fantasy managers, and he'll take aim Saturday at a Chiefs run defense that is yielding an average of 113.0 rushing yards per game heading into Week 18 action.

Limited session Wednesday Gordon (thumb/hip) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Fellow running back Javonte Williams (knee) also remained limited in practice, though neither looks at major risk of sitting out Saturday's game against Kansas City. That said, either or both of the two backs are candidates to carry injury designations into the weekend.

Limited to kick off Week 18 prep Denver listed Gordon (thumb/hip) as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Gordon has appeared on Denver practice reports with at these one of two injuries dating back to Week 13, but he's suited up in each of the past four games while seeing no notable reduction in his snap or touch counts. If he doesn't upgrade beyond limited participation in practice by Thursday, Gordon may carry a questionable designation into Saturday's game against the Chiefs, but he should still play in the season finale.

Leading rusher in loss Gordon carried the ball 10 times for 43 yards and caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact He was the more productive of the Broncos' two backs on the afternoon, with Javonte Williams managing only 32 total yards on 15 touches, but neither was able to take advantage of a seemingly soft matchup against one of the league's worst run defenses. Gordon eclipsed 1,000 scrimmage yards on the season with Sunday's effort, and he'll get one more chance to pad his numbers in Week 18 against Kansas City.

Active for Sunday's contest Gordon (thumb/hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow RB Javonte Williams (knee), with the two players once again in line to share backfield work. A Week 17 bounce-back opportunity could be on tap for both backs (who each carried just seven times last weekend versus the Raiders) against a Chargers' defense that's allowing an average of 140.3 rushing yards per game to date.

Impact Along with Gordon, Javonte Williams (knee) is listed as questionable, though neither player looks in danger of missing Sunday's contest. Assuming both are active, the two would be in line to share carries in Week 17, with a bounce-back showing possibly in the forecast as Denver takes on a vulnerable Chargers run defense.
