Productive in Sunday's win Lindsay carried the ball 16 times for 82 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Dolphins.
Impact He produced nearly identical volume numbers to Melvin Gordon, who gained 84 yards on 15 carries, but it was Gordon who scored the Broncos' only two TDs of the afternoon. The duo will likely have a much tougher time finding running room in Week 12 against a Saints defense that just held Todd Gurley to 29 scrimmage yards.

Gets just four touches Lindsay ran for two yards on four touches during Sunday's loss in Las Vegas.
Impact The Broncos' inability or aversion to feeding Lindsay has been one of the more interesting developments of the 2020 season. The third-year back has garnered double-digit touches just once in six games this season. Even with back-to-back stinkers against Atlanta and Las Vegas, he's still averaging 5.5 yards per carry -- 1.3 more than Melvin Gordon -- albeit on about half the carries. The most likely culprit is Lindsay's deficiencies in the passing game. Lindsay has struggled both as a receiver and a blocker this season and, especially when the Broncos fall behind, Gordon is the more complete option. Though leaning on Lindsay early might be the key to correcting Denver's early-game woes, taking Gordon's blocking off the field might be difficult this week against a Miami team that loves to bring Cover-0 pressures.

Inefficient outing against Falcons Lindsay registered 23 rushing yards on eight carries, failing to haul in any of his three targets during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.
Impact Lindsay may have been slowed slightly by a foot injury that kept him labeled as questionable entering the weekend, but the Falcons' performance against the run has been a strength of an otherwise inconsistent unit. Atlanta's No. 6 rush defense contained Lindsay to 2.9 yards per carry, with quarterback Drew Lock concluding the contest as the only Bronco to exceed 25 yards on the ground. Lindsay had been uber-efficient in 2020 coming into Sunday's contest, posting a 6.4 YPC average to boost an already sterling 4.9 YPC combined clip between 2018 and 2019. He'll face a Las Vegas defense Week 10 that has surrendered nine rushing TDs to opposing RBs on the season, tied for fourth most in the NFL.

Cleared to play Sunday Lindsay (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Impact Despite being listed as questionable heading into the weekend, Lindsay always seemed likely to be ready to go after he practiced fully Friday. With the Broncos officially clearing him to play, Lindsay should once again split work out of the backfield with Melvin Gordon. Lindsay has been the Broncos' more productive option on the ground this season (6.4 yards per carry on 45 totes), while Gordon has been the superior pass catcher (19 receptions on 26 targets).

Set to play Sunday Lindsay (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The 26-year-old received the questionable tag after putting in a limited practice Friday, but coach Vic Fangio has indicated all week he believes the running back will suit up in Atlanta. Assuming he plays Sunday, Lindsay is poised to continue splitting backfield work with Melvin Gordon.

Impact Lindsay was able to practice on a limited basis following an absence Wednesday, and the explosive running back looks like he'll be able to give it a go and split carries with Melvin Gordon on game day. Still, those counting on Lindsay in the fantasy realm should double-check his status before the 1:00 pm ET kickoff to ensure he's indeed playing.

Misses practice to start week Lindsay was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with a foot injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Impact Lindsay, who exploded for 86 yards and a score on just seven touches during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers, looks to have picked up an injury along the way. The 26-year-old missed three games due to a toe issue earlier this season, so it's possible the foot injury is related. He'll have two more chances to practice before the Broncos decide whether to tag him with an injury designation for the Week 9 contest in Atlanta.

Finds pay dirt in comeback Lindsay ran for 83 yards and a touchdown on six carries and had a three-yard catch during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers.
Impact The Broncos offense was nothing short of abysmal before Lindsay broke free for a 55-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. It was his first score of the season. Melvin Gordon -- when in the lineup -- has gotten the lion's share of touches this season, but don't be surprised if the Broncos change it up. Lindsay is averaging 6.4 yards per carry this season and has averaged 89 total yards per game in the three games he's been able to finish. Next up is a tough Atlanta run defense.
