Melvin Gordon. 4. player. 13. . .

Melvin Gordon began his 2019 regular season with a standoff against his football team. The Los Angeles Chargers didn’t blink, in essence stating that Gordon wasn’t a part of their long-term plans, and Gordon became the subject of some trade talks.

L.A. never moved him, probably because the asking price was too high, but come March, Philly may get another shot at Gordon at a more team-friendly price. As good as Howard is when he’s healthy, Gordon is an upgrade.

Kenyan Drake. 3. player. 32. . .

Kenyan Drake appeared to be just another guy when he was with the Miami Dolphins, but that’s less about Kenyan Drake and more about the idea that Adam Gase, a man that we were told was an offensive genius, has no idea what he’s doing.

He wasted this a full year with LeVeon Bell, and he wasted Drake’s time and ability in Miami

Before you knew it, Drake was on the Arizona Cardinals roster and emerging into one of the league’s premier backs. He’s only 26 and has a lot of good years left. He could explode in the right system.
