BA Baracus Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I own Gordon in every league I play...except the one where I just traded him away for McCoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I think that is the easy answer....without risk there are no fantasy championships.... Â I have made my bones on taking risks because scared money doesn't win.....couple that with this being my worst fantasy season to date and week 12 being my make or break week......playing Gordon sounds like an ideal situation.... Â but who knows? Â I admit to being risk averse and know that it does impact my ability to win in fantasy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heehawks Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yep, that article just got me super excited to plug him in next to DT and Jordy. Could just push me into the playoffs with such a badass WR crew! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I just threw up a little bit. I traded Gordon way back when (for Seattle defense and Fred Jackson, since moved in a deal for effing Michael Floyd). This move is one of the few blemishes on my management this year, but promises to be a bad move...the team who has Gordon is winning his division in our league as I lead my division. I fear I'll see JG at some point and it won't be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/301046/gordon-will-return-wo-restrictions-monday  Gordon will return 'w/o restrictions' Monday The NFL has confirmed that Josh Gordon will resume football activities "without restriction" when his suspension expires on Monday. In other words, he'll be all systems go for Week 12 against the Falcons, and beyond. "(He) will be clear to resume normal activities without restriction," AFC director of football communications Jon Zimmer said. Gordon will immediately slot back in as a WR1 in fantasy leagues. We'll get a better feel for whether Gordon is a high- or low-end WR1 when we see how he's utilized and how often he's targeted. The Browns are playing run-heavy football this year, after leading the NFL in 2013 pass attempts. Source: ESPN.com Nov 14 - 3:42 PM   Exactly how I feel. He will be an immediate WR #1 and a weekly must start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Â Â Do you know something about McCoy that probably even McCoy doesn't know?

Wpob Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The news of Gordon off suspension has eased the pain of this weeks loss. Â He starts for me every week the rest of the way. I expect lots of fantasy goodness from JG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it's about the targets (and the receptions and TDs, yes, I know), and I say he gets a good 15 targets this weekend, 10 for sure. No way the coaches worry about him on a snap count.

Zeus69 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Demaryius, Dez... and Josh  As long as he doesn't spark up or tear an ACL, no way he doesn't immediately become the focal point of the passing game. Browns have a bunch of smurfs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the coaches worry about him on a snap count.  Wasn't calling you out, just giving my own projection. I think DMD will be more in line with mine  I doubt there is a snap count either, but will be interesting to see what kind of shape he is in. More than anything (NFL not fantasy) I want a win, and I want him to straighten up and stay out of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboCowboy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm sitting Julio Jones for Josh Gordon until Julio can prove himself. His last seven games were underperforming so I'd rather play Gordon. I have very high expectations, even in his first game back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
