Thanks Mr. Gordon. Glad I had the insight of picking you up the week before you came back and starting you in my flex for three weeks. Thank you for now being a solid WR1!!!!!!!

He's a WR2/3, but congrats on picking him up the week after suspension ended. Hell of an 8 team league there.

Gordon's ADP was around 100-110.

Borderline WR3?

Come on son!

He's a high WR2 and has played like a WR 1 since his return. Weeden hurts his value, but he's a beast

One test away from a full year suspension. I would not and did not draft Gordon as a WR2. The potential to be a WR1/WR2 is easily there. After this week, in my main PPR, I'll be rolling out Jordy, Vjax and Gordon as WR1/2/Flex, with Cecil and Woods and Harvin in waiting. With my RBs - Arian, Reggie, D.Martin, Joique, Tate, (CJ2K - fu). Lights out.

ETA: Gordon's ceiling is WR1. No doubt. His floor is low though. Besides injury (all players), he's one drug test away and can be boom or bust. Weeden hurts, but anyone that drafted him, did so with Weeden as the QB.

Probably.

I didn't quite expect the meltdown so early in TB.

Vjax is still going to get 8-10 targets a game.

And to add...

PPR 10 team - 2RB, 2WR, 2Flx league:

QB: Ryan/Cutler
RB: Arian, Reggie, Martin, Joique, Tate, CJ2K
WR: Jordy, Vjax, Gordon, Cecil, Woods, Harvin
TE: Gates, Cook

I'm 3-1 and looking forward. Vjax and DMartin at Flex positions.

Sadly Gordon is on my bench for the time being behind Calvin, Dez and Jordy. Trying to trade one of those for a solid RBs

This was discussed.

If you have Mega/Dez/Jordy/Gordon and can't get value for Jordy (or Gordon - not discussed), then trade Megatron or Dez. I really think you're going to get a huge return from the right team.

Owners look at WR numbers and cream themselves. In the meantime they're playing the likes of Pierre Thomas as RB2s.

Trust me, I looked at Megatron at pick 5-6 and Dez at pick 12-14 thinking do it. But I'm old school, I win more than I don't and I know better. (This is my opinion ONLY. Best of luck).

He WAS drafted in my 12 team league. He was pick 11 of the 8th round. We play QB, WR, WR, RB, TE, K, DEF and 2 FLEX with only four BENCH players. We don't have the luxury of a massive bench like yours so that manager ended up dropping him. I am playing him although I have D. Thomas and Wayne. He is totally playing like a WR1 right now and I'm gonna roll with him until injury, suspension or The Ship. Looking at your WRs, he is your WR1 too.

Glad I drafted him. Part of my Dez/Andre/Josh WR core.



Also lessens the blow if Percy (who I stashed) can't ever come back.

While I appreciate Joshua, it could have been much more had he not dropped 2 passes that were perfect throws.

I drafted him in my 14 team league in the 12th rd. I had him on my bench his first week back though because I did not know what to expect.

This does nothing for fantasy football value. Anyone is 1 play away from a season ending injury

I picked him up in both leagues before he came off suspension. I'm very happy with the decision.
I'll be even happier if the trade talks continue and he goes to a team with a real QB.

I drafted him in 9th round of 12 man league. At that spot, how can you not take him? I mean guys that were going there would likely be on your bench until bye weeks start anyway.

I love this guy. Unfortunately Hoyer is likely out for the season and Weeden sucks a mean dick, his TD pass to Gordon last night notwithstanding. Gordon definitely takes a step back to solid WR2 territory with Weeden at the helm.

if you are in a 12 man league, no way this is true unless the rest of your team sucks
