Struggles again in Week 2
Lindsay carried the ball 13 times for 36 yards and caught four of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: For the second straight game, Lindsay was less effective than Royce Freeman while seeing nearly equal touches with his fellow second-year RB. Lindsay has not shown the same dynamic big-play ability he did as a rookie, and he could fall decisively behind Freeman on the depth chart if he doesn't begin to produce.

Meager numbers in season opener
Lindsay ran for 43 yards on 11 carries, while corralling four of six targets for a total of 23 receiving yards during Monday's 24-16 loss to Oakland.
Analysis: Week 1 marked Lindsay's first meaningful game action since he broke his wrist in the Monday Night Football finale against these same Raiders last Christmas Eve. In the final game of the NFL's opening weekend, Lindsay was unable to match the scorching 5.4 yards per carry average he set as a rookie despite facing an Oakland defense that last year ranked better than only Miami and Arizona against the run. He did, however, add value as a pass catcher by picking up four-plus receptions for the…read more

Gets five carries
Lindsay rushed five times for 14 yards in Monday night's 24-15 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Lindsay drew Denver's first rush of the game, but teammate Royce Freeman also saw carries on the team's opening drive. Both players featured into the second quarter, and while Freeman did make a six-yard catch, he netted no yards on his five carries and Lindsay had the slightly better showing among the two tailbacks.

Grabs 19 yards in preseason debut
Lindsay rushed for 10 yards on four carries and added a nine-yard catch during Thursday's 22-14 preseason loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Lindsay only played on Denver's first drive and made some nice plays -- a 10-yard run on a broken play and nine-yard catch on a checkdown -- before getting stonewalled in the red zone. It's hard to read too much into Lindsay's first drive of the preseason, but it seems as though Denver will lean on its stable of backs enough for Lindsay to still get plenty of exposure despite the strong offseason of Royce Freeman and acquisition of Theo Riddick.

Gets extra competition with Riddick
The Broncos are signing veteran back Theo Riddick, Rob Demovsky of ESPN NFL Nation reports. The signing adds a proven pass catcher, who could challenge Lindsay for touches.
Analysis: Adding a pass-catching force in the backfield is an interesting move by Denver's front office after an offseason hyping up Lindsay's receiving prowess. Lindsay was set to potentially see a small cut in his carries in favor of an overall increase in usage with more opportunities in the passing game. It's possible that, assuming he makes the team, Riddick will mostly be used on special teams and to replace Devontae Booker's modest usage as a third-down back, but how touches are spread over the…read more

Returns to practice
Lindsay is participating during Monday's practice, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Lindsay sat out Saturday's practice due to a minor back issue caused by a visit with a chiropractor, but now appears back to full health. The second-year running back is on track to reprise a key role in Denver's offense in 2019, though Royce Freeman also stands to see more usage. Lindsay reportedly is working to carve out a larger role as a pass catcher, which could serve to make up for any carries conceded to Freeman.

Catching ability could up usage
After a Pro Bowl rookie campaign, Lindsay could see his usage increase in 2019 while still having some carries vultured away by Royce Freeman, Benjamin Allbright of KOA News Radio predicts.
Analysis: Excluding Week 3's matchup against the Ravens during which he was ejected, Lindsay averaged 13.4 carries and 3.2 targets per game in 2018. Given his season-ending wrist injury, diminutive size, and offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello's emphasis on getting Lindsay in space, diversifying Lindsay's role makes sense. It isn't hard to imagine a scenario in which Lindsay averages a dozen carries a game and six targets -- decreasing his workload on the ground, but still providing an extra touch or…read more

Ready for more targets
Lindsay is excited for his role in the passing game, noting that teammate Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) helped him work on route running during the offseason, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: There's been a lot of talk about Royce Freeman taking more carries -- something that wouldn't necessarily hurt Lindsay's workload if he were to bump Devontae Booker out of the passing-down role. It's difficult for two players to maintain fantasy value in a backfield that allots regular snaps to three RBs, but it's much easier using a two-way split. Lindsay has the raw tools -- speed and agility -- to thrive as a pass catcher, but he managed just 6.9 YPR and 5.1 YPT last season, dropping five of…read more

No limitations at practice
Coach Vic Fangio relayed after practice Thursday that Lindsay (wrist) doesn't have any limitations, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Fangio liked what he saw from Lindsay on the first day of Broncos training camp. Given that the running back is bouncing back from a wrist injury, there's no concern regarding the wheels that propelled him (as a rookie) to 192 carries for 1,037 yards and nine TDs to go along with 35 catches for 241 yards and a receiving score in 2018. It's been noted that Lindsay may be eased into practices as training camp proceeds, but barring any setbacks, Denver's top back should be well…read more

Easing into practice
Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Lindsay (wrist) is ready for the start of training camp but will be eased into practices, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lindsay expressed similar confidence Monday, noting that he's 100 percent recovered from the broken right wrist that ended his prolific rookie season after Week 16. His absence from offseason practices freed up extra first-team work for Royce Freeman, who is now expected to challenge Lindsay for carries on early downs. The Broncos also still have Devontae Booker, but he may be phased out of the offense if Lindsay and Freeman display improved pass-game skills.

Ready to go
Lindsay (right wrist) feels good to go in advance of training camp, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports. "In my mind I'm ready," Lindsay noted Monday. "I'm 100 percent."
Analysis: The running back did, however, acknowledge that Denver's coaches and training staff will determine the amount of reps he takes once camp opens up Thursday. The 24-year-old joined the Broncos last season as an undrafted free agent, and the 5-foot-8, 190-pounder emerged as the team's lead back en route to logging 192 carries for 1,037 yards and nine rushing TDs to go along with 35 catches for 241 yards and a receiving score. Lindsay heads into the coming season atop the Broncos' depth chart at…read more

On track for camp
Lindsay (wrist) is on track to practice at the beginning of training camp, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports. "I feel like I'm very close," Lindsay said. "It's going to come down to the head coach and our training staff to make the decisions."
Analysis: Lindsay was limited to individual drills throughout OTAs and minicamp, eventually catching passes from a Jugs machine Tuesday. He had five drops and only 241 receiving yards on 47 targets (5.1 YPT) last season, but more than made up for it with hyper-efficient rushing production -- 5.4 YPC, nine TDs on 192 carries. Lindsay is adjusting to a new scheme under offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello, who presumably hopes to also keep Royce Freeman involved in the rushing attack. The workload split…read more

Catches passes off Jugs
Lindsay was spotted snaring passes from a Jugs machine after practice Tuesday for the first time since his wrist surgery, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Given the location of Lindsay's surgery, catching passes from a machine certainly marks a significant step in the recovery process. He's spent plenty of the offseason likely focused on learning new offensive coordinator Rich Scangareloo's playbook, but it appears he may be moving closer to putting that into action on the field. Lindsay churned out 1,037 yards and nine touchdowns on 192 carries as a rookie and should be positioned for a major role on offense again in 2019.

Limited at minicamp
Lindsay (wrist) participated in footwork drills during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lindsay is still working his way back from wrist surgery he underwent back in late December, and the Broncos still appear to be hesitant on clearing the tailback to do work that involves the use of his right hand. It remains unclear what sort of timetable Lindsay is facing before he receives full clearance.

Not catching passes
Lindsay (wrist) didn't appear to catch passes at OTAs, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Working his way back from late-December surgery, Lindsay has been limited to select individual drills this spring, with most of his attention likely focused on learning the playbook from new offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello. A system relying on outside-zone runs theoretically should work in favor of a 190-pound running back, but Lindsay isn't necessarily thrilled about the change after finishing third in the league with 5.4 YPC in Bill Musgrave's offense last year. It's unclear if the…read more

Beginning OTAs limited
Lindsay (wrist) will be limited when the Broncos begin OTAs on Monday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: A mere spectator during voluntary minicamp last month, Lindsay is making progress after undergoing surgery on his right wrist in late December. More specifics should be available once the Broncos actually begin activities this week, but it wouldn't be surprising for the 24-year-old to remain limited for the near future. Lindsay exploded onto the scene as an undrafted rookie last season with 1,037 rushing yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards per carry.

Limited to spectator status
Lindsay (wrist) is present Tuesday for voluntary minicamp, but he isn't participating in drills, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Working his way back from a season-ending wrist fracture, Lindsay was limited to stretching and chatting with teammates during Tuesday's session. His availability for training camp doesn't seem to be much of a concern, but he'll likely remain limited throughout the offseason program, with his focus on learning a new playbook from offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello. The Broncos presumably envision a backfield with both Lindsay and fellow second-year pro Royce Freeman handling sizable roles.

Ditches hard cast
Lindsay (wrist) sported a brace instead of a hard cast at Wednesday's workout, Kyle Fredrickson of the Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Lindsay is recovering from a fractured right wrist that is preventing the running back from fully participating in the outset of the Broncos' offseason training program that started this week. Given that he's nursing an arm injury -- as opposed to a lower-body issue -- it's not a huge surprise that Denver has allowed him to take part in select drills this spring, but the running back remains without a firm timetable to return to the field in a full capacity. General manager John Elway recently…read more

Expected to sit out minicamp
Coach Vic Fangio said Lindsay (wrist) is unlikely to participate in the beginning of OTAs, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: The Broncos have a bonus minicamp the week after the 2019 NFL Draft, and Lindsay likely will be watching from the sidelines. It's unclear if he''ll be able to participate in any part of the offseason program, but there doesn't seem to be concern about his availability for training camp. This injury shouldn't affect Lindsay's fantasy stock considering it's a wrist issue and not a lower-body problem.

Uncertain for OTAs
Lindsay (wrist) is still sporting a hard cast on his right arm and declined to comment Wednesday regarding his potential availability for OTAs, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The rehab timeline was estimated at 3-to-4 months when the undrafted rookie sensation landed on injured reserve and had surgery after Week 16. His continued use of a hard cast doesn't mean he's behind schedule, but it suggests his weightlifting will be limited during the offseason. In any case, Lindsay should regain his health long before training camp, and perhaps even for OTAs or minicamp this spring. A wrist injury is far less concerning than any type of lower-body issue would be.

Bright spot in 2018 before injury
Lindsay (wrist) finished his rookie campaign with 1,037 yards and nine touchdowns on 192 carries and another 241 yards and a touchdown on 35 catches over 15 appearances.
Analysis: In a season with few bright spots for the Broncos, the rookie out of Colorado easily stole the show until a serious wrist injury that required surgery ended his season one game early. The first offensive undrafted rookie ever to be selected for a Pro Bowl, Lindsay finishedthird in the league in yards per carry (5.4) despite his average dropping considerably following Week 13. He should be the cornerstone of the Denver offense in 2019, with improvements in the passing game and the shakeup of the…read more

Analysis: The move will allow the Broncos to fill Lindsay's roster spot in advance of Week 17 action. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, the running back is slated to undergo surgery on his right wrist later Friday. Initial reports have estimated Lindsay likely will require 3-to-4 months of recovery time, a timetable that would allow him to approach training camp next summer in good health and back atop Denver's RB depth chart at that time.

Facing 3-to-4-month recovery
Lindsay will likely require 3-to-4 months of recovery time upon undergoing right wrist surgery, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, coach Vance Joseph relayed Wednesday that Lindsay will "most likely" be placed on injured reserve so that the Broncos can add another player to their active roster in advance of a Week 17 matchup with the Chargers. With Lindsay out, the Broncos will rely on Royce Freeman to see most of the action on early downs, while Devontae Booker perhaps takes on an enhanced role as a change-of-pace option.

Analysis: Both Troy Renck of Denver 7 News and Mike Klis of 9News Denver suggest that Lindsay is looking at a 4-to-6 month recovery period. While the injury is a tough ending to Lindsay's fine rookie campaign, such a timeline implies that he'll be healthy in advance of training camp this summer, at which point he'll look to reclaim his perch atop the Broncos' running back depth chart.

Could be limited in OTAs
The right wrist injury that will force Lindsay to miss the Broncos' season finale Sunday against the Chargers involves torn ligaments around the scaphoid bone, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Per the report, surgery is a likely outcome for Lindsay, with Klis suggesting that any procedure would entail a 4-to-6 month recovery. Based on that estimate, it's possible Lindsay could be available for non-contact work during OTAs in the spring before returning at full strength when training camp opens. While the injury spells a disappointing end to his campaign, the undrafted rookie was an unexpected fantasy stalwart in 2018, logging 192 carries for 1,037 yards and nine rushing scores to go…read more

Done for season
Lindsay underwent an MRI on Tuesday that revealed ligament damage in his right wrist, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports. He won't be available for the Broncos' Week 17 game against the Chargers and is unlikely to suit up for the Pro Bowl.
Analysis: Lindsay was hopeful that he only suffered a sprained right wrist during Monday's 27-14 loss to the Raiders, but it's believed he's dealing with a scaphoid fracture based on the results of the initial MRI. He's set to receive a second opinion on the injury before potentially undergoing surgery to address the matter.

He ended the night with 46 yards on 10 carries and two receptions for 11 yards.

Lindsay, along with teammate Von Miller, earned a Pro Bowl spot, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: With his selection, Lindsay becomes the first undrafted offensive rookie to earn a trip to the Pro Bowl. With 991 rushing yards through 14 games, the local product has shocked the league, and likely the Broncos -- who selected two backs in April's draft.

Lindsay managed only 24 yards on 14 carries, adding four receptions for 20 yards during Saturday's 17-16 loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: After rattling off six consecutive performances of 60 or more rushing yards between Weeks 7 and 13, Lindsay has managed a meager 54 yards on 28 attempts over his past two outings. The undrafted rookie phenom averaged a jaw-dropping 6.1 yards per carry through his first 12 NFL games, but San Francisco and Cleveland have contained him to fewer than 2.0 YPC with one total touchdown (five scores in three games prior).

Tough sledding on ground
Lindsay rushed 14 times for 30 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of seven targets for 21 yards in the Broncos' 20-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Outside of a nifty 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, Lindsay struggled to do anything on the ground against a stingy 49ers front. The rookie was coming off a pair of 100-yard efforts, so the decline in production was steep and sudden. Lindsay does have at least one rushing touchdown in four consecutive games, so he continues to reward fantasy owners even on days like Sunday when his overall yardage totals take a hit.

Lindsay turned the corner on a toss play, set up an Emmanuel Sanders crack block and then followed tackle Garett Bolles on his way to paydirt.

Breaks century mark in Week 12 win
Lindsay registered 110 rushing yards and a touchdown on 14 carries during Sunday's 24-17 win against the Steelers.
Analysis: The rookie running back has come close on two occasions (90-plus rushing yards in Week 7 and Week 8), but Sunday's 110-yard outing against Pittsburgh was his first time breaking the century mark on the ground since picking up 107 against Oakland on Sept. 16.

The rookie scored again in the fourth quarter to give Denver a short-lived lead, though he didn't see any touches on the team's final drive of the afternoon, which culminated in Brandon McManus' game-winning field goal.

Not guaranteed lead role in Week 11
Lindsay could cede more snaps and touches to Royce Freeman and/or Devontae Booker in Sunday's game against the Chargers after coach Vance Joseph said he would take a "hot hand" approach to the Denver backfield, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. "I said this in training camp, the hot guy will play more reps probably," Joseph said Friday. "But we have a plan for all three of our [running backs].''
Analysis: Though Joseph suggested a three-man committee remains in place, Freeman should be viewed as the more significant threat to Lindsay's workload than Booker. Lindsay handled his two largest carry counts of the season in the Broncos' last two games -- 18 in Week 8 against the Chiefs and 17 in Week 9 against the Texans -- which coincided with Freeman sitting out due to a high-ankle sprain. Now healthy coming out of the Broncos' Week 10 bye, Freeman -- who averaged 10.1 totes per game through the…read more

Analysis: The electrifying rookie running back was contained to a season-low 3.5 yards per carry average against the Texans, while establishing his lowest rushing total for a game with at least 12 attempts. Houston has been dominant against the run in 2018 (3.6 rush allowed per rush coming in), and Lindsay was no exception, picking up four or more yards on just five of 17 handoffs.

Expected to retain lead role
Lindsay will likely serve as the Broncos' lead back Sunday against the Texans with Royce Freeman (ankle), who is listed as questionable, not expected to play, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Though Lindsay has been the more productive of the rookie backs, the two have essentially operated as co-starters at the position for much of the season, as Freeman has logged no fewer than 16 snaps in any of the seven games he's played. While Freeman was out in Week 8 against the Chiefs, Lindsay earned his biggest touch count (21) of the campaign, parlaying his 18 carries and three receptions into 112 total yards and a touchdown.
