Melvin Gordon III Fantasy Stats

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed running back Melvin Gordon III to their practice squad on Friday and also elevated wide receiver Dan Chisena and linebacker Josh Ross from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster for Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans. The Ravens waived Gordon earlier this week to make room for Dalvin Cook on the active, but he's now back in Baltimore as extra RB depth. Cook will serve as the No. 3 back behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill this weekend, while Gordon will most likely be a healthy scratch. Chisena, 26, was cut from the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad just under two weeks ago and now will give Baltimore extra receiver depth for the Divisional Round.

The Baltimore Ravens are likely to re-sign running back Melvin Gordon III to their practice squad after waiving him on Wednesday to make room for Dalvin Cook, according to a source. The 30-year-old had been limited to a reserve role since signing with the Ravens before the start of training camp in July and finished with only 26 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown during the regular season behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. In the Week 18 regular season finale, Gordon fumbled for the 19th time in his career, the most by a non-quarterback since 2015. The former 15th overall pick in the 2015 draft by the Chargers, Gordon has rushed for 6,543 yards and 56 touchdowns in nine NFL seasons, but he'll be nothing more than RB depth for the Ravens for as long as they stay alive in the postseason.

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Wednesday that they have waived running back Melvin Gordon III. Gordon's departure makes room on the active roster for Dalvin Cook, who could be a pretty big part of Baltimore's backfield as they look for more production in the postseason next to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. The 30-year-old Gordon saw action in just four games for the Ravens during the 2023 regular season and had only 26 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown and added three catches for 46 yards. Cook, who didn't look good at all earlier in the season with the New York Jets, will most likely serve as the Ravens' No. 3 running back behind Edwards and Hill during the postseason. With quarterback Lamar Jackson also gaining big chunks of yards with his legs, Cook won't be very appealing at all in fantasy playoff lineups.

The Baltimore Ravens signed running back Melvin Gordon III from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday and placed rookie running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Mitchell tore his ACL in Sunday night's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which will put an end to what was quickly becoming an exciting first year in the NFL. The 30-year-old Gordon will now provide backfield depth behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill for the rest of the regular season/postseason. The former first-rounder from Wisconsin has only seen action in two games for the Ravens in 2023, rushing the rock 13 times for 53 yards while catching all three of his targets for an additional 46 yards through the air. Gordon remains off the fantasy radar for now as long as both Edwards and Hill are healthy.

The Baltimore Ravens elevated running back Melvin Gordon III from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's AFC North battle with the Browns. The move isn't much of a surprise, even with the latest report indicating Justice Hill (toe) is expected to play in Week 4. But Gordon or even Hill, for that matter, cannot be trusted in any fantasy format, especially with Gus Edwards in the equation.

Baltimore Ravens running backs Melvin Gordon and Kenyan Drake have been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Justice Hill (toe) will miss Sunday's contest, leaving Gus Edwards as the only healthy running back on the active roster. The Ravens elevated Gordon last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Yet, the veteran didn't see the field. Meanwhile, Baltimore added Drake to the practice squad earlier this week. Edwards will be the lead running back and the only viable starting option for fantasy players. However, expect Gordon and Drake to see some work tomorrow against the Colts.

Baltimore Ravens running back Melvin Gordon III was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. With J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) done for the year, the Ravens needed to make a move to add depth to the position. Of course, Justice Hill and Gus Edwards are expected to split carries out of the backfield in Week 2 versus the Bengals. As a result, Gordon shouldn't do much for fantasy managers. However, it appears there's a chance for anyone to get involved at the running back spot moving ahead, so Gordon is at least worth monitoring.

Baltimore Ravens running back Melvin Gordon III has signed with the team to be a member of their practice squad one day after being released. The veteran RB didn't do enough during camp to crack the 53-man roster but they were able to bring him back this way. After fizzling out with the Broncos over 10 games last season, posting 318 yards on 90 carries to go along with two touchdowns, he ended up on the Chiefs practice squad for the remainder of the season. Gordon III signed a one-year deal with Baltimore back on July 21 and will now serve as an emergency option for the Ravens if J.K. Dobbins or Gus Edwards were to ever get hurt.

The Baltimore Ravens released running back Melvin Gordon III on Tuesday, according to a source. Gordon didn't do enough to win a spot on the team's 53-man roster entering the 2023 regular season, but he could find himself back with Baltimore on their practice squad if he doesn't sign elsewhere. J.K. Dobbins leads the team's RB depth chart, with Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and rookies Keaton Mitchell and Owen Wright behind him. The 30-year-old Gordon almost reached 1,000 yards rushing in his first two seasons with the Denver Broncos in 2020 and 2021, but he played in just 10 games (six starts) last year and finished with 318 yards and two touchdowns on 90 carries (3.5 yards per tote), adding 25 receptions for 223 yards through the air.

Baltimore Ravens running back Melvin Gordon III had one more shot to prove he belongs on the roster and didn't do all that much on Saturday. The veteran back ended with nine yards on three carries and 19 yards on two catches. While Gordon did show he had some juice, he didn't prove to be much better than Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell. Most projected depth charts have Gordon missing the cut, so he'll look to join a team that may be in dire need of a running back due to injury after the season starts. He could be one to monitor on the waiver wire.
