Given where he was drafted (15th overall in 2015), Gordon's NFL career must at least be considered a mild disappointment. Granted, he's heading into his eighth year in the league, and he's accounted for more than 8,000 total yards in that time, but he managed just one 1,000-yard rushing campaign and has shown a penchant for fumbling issues cropping up at the most inopportune times. As noted, the veteran returned on a one-year deal for what will likely be a reduced role, so it doesn't appear that he had a lot of suitors on the open market.
Even at age 29, however, Gordon still has breakaway speed, and as such he's a threat to take it to the house any time he gets the ball in space. He has good hands as well, making him a three-down option for Hackett to utilize. After serving in a 1a/1b capacity with Williams in 2021, Gordon is likely to function as more of a true No. 2 back in 2022. As such, he's a low-end RB3 or flex target.

Melvin Gordon likely to sign with Kansas City Released by Denver last week By: Doug Orth | Mon Nov 28, 5:30 pm

| | Two-time Pro Bowl RB Melvin Gordon is expected to sign with the #Chiefs practice squad, per source. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: In addition to being one team short of having the distinction of playing for all four AFC West rivals, Gordon joins a contending team that would prefer to have another rugged runner besides Isiah Pacheco and a more dynamic option than Jerick McKinnon. Gordon will start out on the practice squad but likely did not join the Chiefs with the idea he would be third on the depth chart. There is a decent chance Gordon emerges as a flex option before the fantasy season ends.

| Melvin Gordon dumped by Denver Veteran back waived Monday By: Doug Orth | Mon Nov 21, 5:25 pm

| | Sources: The #Broncos make a move following Sunday’s loss, as Denver has waived veteran RB Melvin Gordon. A respected player who spent 3 years with the Broncos, Gordon’s fumbles proved too much. A fresh start for all parties. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Gordon's fumbling issues ultimately led to his demise in Denver. The Broncos' offense had bigger issues than Gordon's ball security problems, but he should be able to land on his feet relatively quickly as a potential 1B option for a contending team. As for Denver, it is left with Latavius Murray, Marlon Mack and practice-squader Devine Ozigbo until Mike Boone (ankle) possibly returns from IR in Week 13. Murray has low-end RB2 upside in Week 12 and possibly beyond.
