I know he didn't get very many looks last week, but as he gets back to practice I expect his targets to increase. He's also going against a Saints defense that was carved up by Ryan Fitzpatrick in what could turn into a shootout.

Well, Ken Crawley will likely be covering him, so I am playing him

I basically went all in on Josh Gordon this year. I have him in almost every league. So either I was very smart or I'm going down with the ship.

He's in my lineup.

I can only start two between Gordon, E Sanders (vs Oak) and Stills (@NYJ). Still debating who I can put Gordon in over.

I don't think so. Lattimore will likely shadow Gordon because Landry is mostly in the slot. Robinson is also a tough slot CB matchup. Last week seemed kind of fluky for the Saints. They will be playing with a chip on their shoulder. There is too much talent on that defense to not expect a bounce back game.

I'm playing Marvin Jones over Gordon.

I also need to see some connection with Tyrod. Because Gordon didn't report to camp until the last week, I'm afraid it might take some time for he and Taylor to build a rapport like Taylor seems to have with Landry.

Gordon's biggest plays have come from shitty QBs chucking it up to him. That's not Tyrod's style. At all.

Might want to check your facts. Tyrod historically has one of the highest deep passing rates in the league. He loves going deep

Sure did. Now take out backup qbs and temporary starters. For my purposes, that’s guys with less than 300 attempts. Now Tyrod is 11th. Still not “one of the highest”. But look at 2016 - he’s 6th

Adding on some more stats, Tyrod consistently has some of the least YAC of any starting qb, bc his receivers have been garbage. I’d argue last season was more an issue of garbage receivers than not liking the deep ball. This season that shouldn’t be an issue with his quality receivers

You're an idiot if you don't start Gordon against this sorry arse pathetic arse Saints defense. You deserve a loss if you don't.
