Head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Wednesday that Melvin Gordon will start Sunday's game against the Jets, while Murray will have a role off the bench, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
That arrangement is technically what happened during Monday's loss to the Chargers, except Gordon barely played after the first quarter and finished with three carries to Murray's 16. Further complicating matters was the involvement of Mike Boone, who earned one carry and four targets on a 36 percent snap share. Any of three backs are risky fantasy options for Week 7, even if the Broncos prioritize their running game while Russell Wilson deals with a hamstring injury.
