chiefswarpath Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I know it depends on your roster, but who is putting him in their lineup this week? Imo he hits the ground running with a god matchup this week vs ATL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I am starting him over garcon fitz and vjax... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) He is in my roster for the rest of the year. I did not hold him all season to sit him and watch him go off. Edited November 19, 2014 by Wpob 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennykravitz2004 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Starting him this week alongside Hilton, over ODB, (Martavis on bye), and Stills. Also over Ellington (could flex). Fresh legs + Surreal talent = Definite start IMO Personally, I almost don't see, how you don't start him, at least for this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'd say he is easily a top 10 WR this week with top 3 upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yeah must start unless you are insanely stacked at WR already. He's the #1 guy Cleveland has needed all year for Hoyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 ODB vs Dallas Crabtree vs Washington AJ Green vs Houston Landry vs Denver Gordon vs Atlanta I'd said I wasn't going to start him his first week, but the temptation is definitely great and, at least on paper, looks like one of my better matchups. Something keeps telling me though that this game will be won on the ground for Cleveland and they will give it another week before letting him off the chain.

gilthorp Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I usually play conservative and I own no shares of him. ISMHO, you will get a good but not great game from him this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 yes in one. No in my league with Maclin, Cobb and CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think just about everyone that has him is going to be starting him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpayers Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The only hesitation would be his conditioning. We're all assuming he returns in "football shape" and ready for "game speed". We shall see. I couldn't copy the link but here is report from CBS: "The Browns have not seen wideout Josh Gordon practice since August. At Wednesday's practice, they'll find out what kind of shape he's in, reports USA Today. Gordon worked out with strength coaches and attended meetings during his 10-game suspension, but he wasn't allowed to practice. Last season, upon returning from a two-game suspension, Gordon caught 10 passes for 146 yards against the Vikings" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The only way he does not start for me if reports come out during practice that he pulled a hammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Absolutely a must start! He'll come flying out of the gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Starting him over Hopkins, Allen and Decker in a 12-team PPR league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monster2333 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I drafted him last year when he was suspended for 2 games. Left him on the bench for week 3 and he went 10/146/1. Granted, 2 game suspension vs. 10 game, but I'm starting him over Jennings (and Sims, FWIW) in a flex spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboCowboy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm starting him over Julio Jones given my other two are Jordy and Dem Thomas. Julio has underperformed this season. I obviously have a lot of confidence in him vs. Julio this week, but let's see if the gamble pays off. You never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Turbo, I am sitting Jones for Gordon too. Going to start Gordon along with Bryant and Cobb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) From NFL.com and Rotoworld: Josh Gordon told ex-Browns WR Nate Burleson that he plans to "tear this league up" upon his return from a 10-game suspension. Whooo boy! Via Burleson, Gordon recently said, "I'm going to lose 10-15 pounds. When I come back, I'm going to tear this league up." Observers at Browns practice Wednesday said Gordon looked sharp running routes and in shape during the 15 or so minutes open to the media. The Browns have alluded to easing Gordon back into the picture, but Falcons coach Mike Smith isn't buying it. And neither are we. Cleveland is in the middle of a dogfight for a playoff spot. Gordon is an otherworldly talent. Expect him to be plugged in as the X receiver and start ripping cornerbacks to shreds. We're on board with firing Gordon up as an immediate WR1. I can no longer contain my excitement. I held him all year hoping he would be the edge I needed come playoff time. I am praying it was worth it.

Poma1441 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The Number 1 guy in my league tried trading me Kniles Davis and Welker for Gordon, I didn't make the playoffs but I'm not gonna stack him up, I'm going to be rooting for him from the outside looking in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I agree most owners will start him, and unless you have other great options that makes sense. But I still think people are expecting too much. Cameron Jordan is still not practicing, and could easily miss another game (or the rest of the season, or even his career). For a little reality check, see DMD's projections, 5-80,1. Well below his return in week 3 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poma1441 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm going with 9/142/1 TD, hold me to it boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I hope you are right! But make it 2 TDs!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
