So is he playing or what?

I'd have Dez, DT88, Cobb, Hunter, and Gordon at WR

RB and QB not quite as pretty

Am I supposed to post my WR lineup now? The reduction/elimination of the suspension via the league changing testing policies makes a lot of sense. That's why he hasn't sued and also why his people haven't commented.

If this happens, a bunch of teams will win leagues because of this Gordon fiasco. It'll be remembered as the year where Gordon heavily influenced fantasy football outcomes.

It's not an auto win... For example in my auction PPR league I have decker and Tate as my receivers. If I get Gordon, it's a huge boost but I can still lose.

Cam/Wilson
Lacy/ Morris/ Thomas / Lynch/ Woodhead
Decker/ Gordon/ Tate/ Benjamin
Kelce
Carolina
Hauschka

Not getting hopes up.

Expect the worst, hope for the best. Sunday "soft deadline" will be the answer

I'm still holding on to him until I hear 100% sure all of his options are gone.

My WR lineup:
- Megatron
- DT88
- Gordon

My RB lineup (only start one):
- Bernard
- Jennings
- Joique Bell

I will definitely be trading for a RB with one of those 3, if he can play this year.

Mine would be:

Alshon
Andre Johnson
Emmanuel Sanders
Reggie Wayne
Gordon
Crabtree
Cooks

RBs are only AP, Ryan Matthews and Khiry Robinson though so def would be doing some trading.

we did our draft after he was suspended for the year and so nobody picked him. a lame "race to the computer" is a shitty way to decide who gets a season changer.

Everyone drafted with the assumption that he would be suspended for the year. However, if you had been following the Gordon situation, you would have known that there was a very slim chance he would be able to play this year. You could have drafted him but chose not to.

Exactly. It's more than a race to the computer. It's weighing the risk and deciding to take a shot at it. Pretty much like everything else in ff.

i guess that's true. i dont think he will play, but i guess if you are willing to risk it, you deserve him. i dunno. i don't really like it. it's not unfair or anything, just kind of a lame situation that i wish wasnt happening.

Meh, he's taken up a roster spot on my bench since we drafted in one of our leagues. I could've grabbed another guy, but took the risk instead of a rookie with high upside.

yeah i get that it's not unfair and it's basically just risk versus reward like any other draft or roster move. you guys have swayed me on that.

i just dont like that it is happening, i guess? it's different than a risk on an injury or a known suspension IMO. those are kinda supposed to be part of FF, if that makes sense. basically, it's just lame but nothing you can do about it.
