Recent Game Summaries
2018 Week 7 vs ARI (14 / 90 / 1 rush, 1 / 1 / 6 / 0 rec)
Lindsay got the start and broke several nice runs throughout the contest, piling up chunks of yards for the Broncos offense. His yardage totals suffered from the fact that Arizona's many turnovers kept setting the Broncos offense up with really good field position. Lindsay scored late in the 3rd quarter on a run off left tackle. The offensive line got a great push and Lindsay plowed through the second level, shedding tacklers on his way to a 28 yard touchdown. Denver used Lindsay to grind out the carries in the 4th quarter and run the clock out. Lindsay caught a screen pass for a short gain that converted 3rd down near the end of the 2nd quarter, his only target of the day.
2018 Week 6 vs LAR (4 / 18 / 0 rush, 7 / 6 / 48 / 0 rec)
Lindsay entered the game after Royce Freeman. Freeman got more carries(9), but Lindsay had the better per-carry average and worked extensively in the passing game. Lindsay got involved early, motioning across the formation to the right WR position and catching a screen pass for a nice gain on his first target in the 1st quarter. Keenum checked it down to him on a shallow crossing route the next play for a short gain. Lindsey got loose out of the backfield and hauled in another check down pass that he turned up the sideline for a solid gain on the next drive. Lindsay secured a short out route from the backfield for his final catch in the 2nd quarter. Lindsay caught another target in the 3rd quarter and took the pass to the 1 yard line, but the play was called back for offensive pass interference on receiver Sutton. Lindsay hauled in another crossing route late in the 4th, finishing his day catching 6 of 7 targets. Lindsay only recorded 4 official carries, but the game script called for more passing as the Broncos once again fell behind early.
2018 Week 5 vs NYJ (12 / 61 / 0 rush, 4 / 3 / 20 / 0 rec)
Freeman got the start, but Lindsay again wound up out-touching him 15-8. Both backs had strong runs, and Denver used split back sets featuring both rookies several times. Lindsay lined up in a two back set with Freeman for his first snap of the game on the Broncos opening drive, carrying the ball around right end for a 29 yard gain. Lindsay gathered 12 carries total to Freeman's 5. Freeman and Lindsay drew the same amount of targets, but it's worth noting that Freeman's targets were all check downs at the end of Keenum's reads, while Lindsay's seemed to be designed to get him the ball as a first option. Lindsay caught a shallow out route from the backfield late in the 3rd quarter. He also split out to the left WR position and caught a bubble screen, following his blockers for a nice pickup. Keenum hit him on a swing route from the Jets 10 yard line in the 4th quarter, but Lindsay was dragged down before he could find the end zone.
2018 Week 4 vs KC (12 / 69 / 1 rush, 2 / 2 / 10 / 0 rec)
The Denver offensive line was generating a great push in the run game early in the contest. The Broncos also did a great job with misdirection in the backfield, oftentimes bringing Sanders in motion across the formation and faking the end-around handoff. Lindsay out-touched Freeman 14-8, and showed tough running both inside and outside the tackles. Lindsay followed an impressive run on Freeman's first carry with a nice tote of his own, blasting right up the middle of the defense for a 17 yard gain. Lindsay split out to wide right and carried the ball on the same end around that Emmanuel Sanders has been running a lot lately in this offense. Lindsay gashed the Chiefs for 19 yards on a pitch play to the left side of the formation in the 3rd quarter, setting the Broncos up in the Kansas City red zone. Lindsay got the call later in the drive and gave an outstanding effort, dragging several tacklers into the end zone with him. Lindsay had one reception, a check down pass at the end of the 2nd quarter that helped set the Broncos up for field goal before the clock ran out.
2018 Week 3 vs BAL (4 / 20 / 0 rush, 2 / 0 / 0 / 0 rec)
Freeman got the first carry and touchdown after Denver blocked a punt and recovered deep in Baltimore territory to start the game. Lindsay entered on the next drive, and racked up 20 yards on 4 carries in the 1st half before he was thrown out around the 2 minute mark in the 2nd quarter for throwing a punch in the scrum that resulted from a Case Keenum sack/fumble.
2018 Week 2 vs OAK (14 / 107 / 0 rush, 1 / 1 / 4 / 0 rec)
Lindsay dominated the backfield touches for the Broncos, totaling 15 to Freeman and Booker's combined 11. Lindsay followed fullback Janovich up the middle and broke loose up the right sideline in the second quarter, totaling 53 yards on the carry. Lindsay opened the second half up strong, rolling off tackles and breaking two solid gains off right tackle during the first drive of the 3rd quarter. Lindsay did lose some goal line work to Freeman, who punched in the Broncos first touchdown of the day. Lindsay got a carry inside the Raiders' 10 in the 4th quarter, but he was brought down just shy of the goal line. Case Keenum ran it in himself on the next play. Lindsay hauled in his only target of the day for a short gain.
2018 Week 1 vs SEA (15 / 71 / 0 rush, 3 / 2 / 31 / 1 rec)
Lindsay was the third back in the game for Broncos, but his was the most impressive performance after he entered the game late in the 1st quarter. Lindsay lined up in the backfield in a shotgun formation, catching a short out route and turning it up the sideline for a 29 yard touchdown on one of his first snaps. Lindsay showed off his speed on a pitch play in the 4th, turning the corner on the defense for a big gain up the left sideline. He was effective between the tackles as well, picking up several nice gains and moving the chains. Lindsay also showed great effort when he ran down Earl Thomas after an interception, saving a touchdown. Though Freeman got the start, Lindsay finished with the same amount of carries and yards, as well as performing better than Freeman or Booker in the passing game.

Broncos | Phillip Lindsay in rare company (Fri Oct 19, 10:53 PM) - Denver Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay is averaging 5.8 yards per carry this year, and the last player to have a yards per carry average that high through their first seven games was retired RB Bo Jackson. Our View: Lindsay has been a fantastic find for the Broncos. He didn't come from out of nowhere as Lindsay has been impressing since he stepped onto the field at rookie minicamp and certainly since the start of training camp. He's a RB2 with RB1 upside for Fantasy GMs regardless of the format.link to story Broncos | Phillip Lindsay runs for 90 yards (Thu Oct 18, 11:34 PM) - Denver Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay rushed 14 times for 90 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for six yards in a 45-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Our View: Lindsay was as explosive as ever and finding huge lanes to run in against the Cardinals deficient run defense. He'll be an upside flex play against the Chiefs next week.
