Melvin Gordon has been nominated for the Ground Player of the Week award after rushing for 111 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. Gordon will face tough competition going up against Dalvin Cook’s 205 yards and two touchdowns. Fans can vote for Gordon at NFL.com/FedEx.
Fellow running back Javonte Williams has been nominated for the Rookie of the Week award after totaling 83 yards from scrimmage and scoring two touchdowns. Fans can vote for Williams at NFL.com/Rookies.
Williams has been nominated for Rookie of the Week honors in three-straight weeks. The talented running back has already topped 1,000 yards from scrimmage this season despite playing in a shared backfield.
Gordon and Williams have combined to total 1,904 yards from scrimmage this season with 15 touchdowns. They could become just the eighth duo in NFL history to each rush for 1,000 yards in a single season this year.
