How will the Denver Broncos split carries between Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III? Even the players aren't sure

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – One of the biggest questions facing the Denver Broncos’ first-year coaching staff is how it will divide the workload for running backs Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III.

It’s a bit of a mystery to those who play fantasy football, to opponents who will try to defend the Broncos, and even a little to Williams and Gordon. The two, who each totaled 203 carries last season, did not play a snap in the preseason.

Their most game-like work came in a smattering of two-minute drills and 11-on-11 portions of practices when the Broncos’ starting offense faced its starting defense, as well as one joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys.
