PodcastWeek 9 Fantasy Football RB Rankings: Derrick Henry, Bucky Irving, Blake Corum &...November 4, 2026

From the episode

Gordon has seen the bell cow usage basically since A-chan got hurt every single week. And last week was really the only game that he had where he didn't perform up to expectation. It was just because he didn't score a touchdown, right?

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Gordon's bell-cow role and 18.6 touches per game support top-15 RB consideration.

Gordon has seen bell-cow usage since A-Chan got hurt, with 18.6 touches per game over his last five games—higher than Judkins and nearly equal to Derrick Henry; he's been a top-15 RB in four of his last five games played (RB13, RB12, RB14, RB14, RB30 in half-PPR), with 87% and 80% backfield opportunity rates in his last two weeks, making him a strong volume play despite last week's TD-less performance against the Patriots.
