Grenaid Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Who else is pulling the trigger this weekend and going with Gordon in their lineup? I know he hasn't played a game in many weeks and Brandon Weeden is out, but does anybody think those facts are irrelevant? As for me, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Maybe they should just trade Gordon to a better team too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandsean Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I dropped him for Fleener. Have plenty of WR depth and cannot trust any player in an organization that's punting the season away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm sitting him this week. If Weeden were playing, I'd consider flexing him. I don't need him until bye weeks, so I can afford to sit back and see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I wouldn't drop him. He could be traded to the Packers next week. Â Â Not the Packers, maybe Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Not the Packers, maybe Seattle. Â Â Seattle would be nice, but they already have Harvin coming back sometime later this season. He may also be too big of a character risk for them. This team has great chemistry. Maybe even enough to help a wayward player stay out of trouble. But they'd have to get him at a bargain price and methinkg the Browns want more than that for him. Not that I'd mind having Gordon AND Harvin, lol. Â Carolina should inquire about him, IMO. Edited September 20, 2013 by Tripleshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I only own gordon in leagues where I am stacked at receiver, especially since DHop seems to be working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandsean Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Exactly with AJ Green, James Jones(picked up on waivers after week 1), Steve Johnson, TY Hilton, and Amandola I could afford to drop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenaid Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 i know it's a rumor, but do you actually think the browns are going to get rid of Gordon that soon too? in the upcoming weeks? If everyone is thinking like that, mind as well pick him up or keep him. I have a bunch of receivers too, but my friend say he'd trade me miles austin and reggie bush for his trent richardson, so i might have to fall back on Gordon a couple of times this season.

flemingd Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I would love it if they did, but they aren't moving Gordon. He doesn't have any big value, which is what the Richardson move was all about. They got a first for a guy they feel they can replace in the 4th or via Free Agency (hello Ben Tate, here's a Brink's truck for you). Gordon wouldn't net them more than a 4th round pick probably with his risk. Plus, he feeds the franchise QB they are so desperate to snag.

Â Â I think Tate will be the big RB free agent next year other than MJD and DMC...hopefully we can snatch him up before the Browns even have a chance. Plus, having the most Cap Room next year is a bonus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksimus Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 If I were the Pats, I'd be calling about this guy every day. They need somebody that can catch the ball, and Gordon fits the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â If the Pats were to actually strike a deal for Gordon, the Browns would more than likely be able to get a nice draft pick out of it. Maybe 3rd, or possibly even 2nd. Not saying the Pats are desperate.. but I get frustrated watching their receivers play. And Belichick seems to be able to straighten up receivers and anybody with a shaky past. One can only hope...

historymike Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I was salivating at getting Gordon in later rounds in two leagues, but now that the Browns have gutted their backfield, I am much less optimistic that Gordon will be an undervalued WR this year. My revised thinking is that moving forward Gordon will be a risky WR2 or Flex most weeks: he will probably have 3-4 big games, but lots of yawners and a few goose eggs. Only start him at this point if you are playing a superior team and you need a minor miracle to beat your stacked opponent.

UnclePab Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I hanging on to him (but not playing him) for a while in the hopes he does get traded to a team with a better QB/offense. He's the first guy I'd drop if I really needed something off waivers, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanhooters Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I would love to see this Browns team pull together and make the playoffs. Even more so now that the ownership expects this team to curl up in the fetal position and die so they can get a really nice 1st round pick. That would be great! unlikely.. but GREAT!

kingsofromance Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I think I am higher on Gordon than most. I'm still sticking by my projection that he will be the break out player of the year in the NFL and a bona-fide WR1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got him for $1 in auction keeper league, late in three others. He looked good at times with Weeden last year, borderline great, and with another year I was hoping he'd take the next step. He still might, but now there's a lot more risk involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
