Feh!
Chuck Norris is only starting half a Gordon and sitting the rest of his team this week.

And he's going against an atlanta team with a horrendous defense but an offense that can put up points. So it could turn into a shootout which would just increase Flash's value.12 deep passes for Hoyer last week.

Dodds is playing it perfectly placing him at a WR1 level of 14 points in my league. take his projections in context. What is the top scorer's proj this week and the 12th highest proj? Not asking for subscription content so no names, just projections for the top WR and the 12th WR. I think that 6-77-.5 is most likely a pretty high projection for a 1st game back, WR1 level.

All interceptions are actually completed passes to a unseen inter-dimensional Josh Gordon.

EXACTLY like last year, Henry.... of the two games Hoyer and Gordon played together we have the following stats:
v MIN: Hoyer: 321yds/3tds Gordon 10/146/1
v CIN: Hoyer: 269/2 Gordon: 4/71/0
Small sample size, but Hoyer averaged 295/2.5 and Gordon averaged 7/109/0.5
So yes... Exactly like that

I wouldn't be shocked at all at 14/28 for 220/1 over the next two games. I don't think that's what Gordon owners are expecting.

I'd be fine with that. Gordon owners lucked into a lottery ticket. If you have relatively deep benches, you just hold him and pass on the latest fad. I'm top total points in league and in first H2H so far, with a playoff clinch last week. Anything Gordon gives me off of the bench is rock solid. Yeah, I drafted him in the sixth round, too.
Harstad, in another thread (just so people don't think I'm nuts with an inter-thread claim) might be right with Gronk being MVP for VBD. Also helps if you bet against Richardson and on Bradshaw up until this point. Rooster provided upon request.
But Gordon just needs to drop fourteen or so for a dramatic upgrade at receiver for me for it to work. That'd be great for most of us.

Over/Under on how many snaps till Gordon pulls a hammy..........................

Hopefully Josh practices the way Pettine wants otherwise he may not play at all. Pettine seems a little different and I would consider that a concern as a Gordon owner knowing Josh in the past has been accused of not going full boar in practice.

Ross TuckerVerified account@RossTuckerNFLDon't expect 2013 Josh Gordon on Sunday. Pettine mentioned research done on higher injury rates after layoff, 80 days no contact, etc.
ok this "snap count" concept is looking all too real to me

So, if you believe what Pettine is saying, you also believe Pettine is a moron.
Browns are in MUST WIN mode, and you spend your week telling your opponent that Josh is going to be on a tight pitch count? One of the best WRs in the league...
"Hey Atlanta... we NEED to beat you, but while you're scheming and game planning, please take into account my HONEST representation of how often our most dangerous will play"
Pure stupidity on his part, if true.
I dont expect Josh to play 100% of snaps... But he'll play a damn high percentage. Of that, Im sure.
And I can also bet Mike Smith aint buying that BS either.

It wouldn't blow the roof of my doors if Gordon got less than 4 points or more than 20. Really expecting this first game to have a huge range of possibilities.

Here's my take on the Gordon situation. Take from it what you will.
This dude almost single-handedly propelled me to a championship last season in my one keeper league. When he got suspended in the offseason, I begrudgingly had to cut him. Once he got reinstated I actively tried trading to get him back from the owner who ended up drafting him this season. I got him back, and like everyone else I been waiting patiently for Week 12 to arrive, and here we are. Gordon is a transcendent talent. He's coming off a legendary season and now joins a better team, with a better QB and better running game to help take the pressure off him. Pitch count or not, the dude's a game breaker and doesn't need a ton of snaps to have a big fantasy day. Is there a distinct possibility he goes 2 for 25 in his first game back? Absolutely. But IMO he is just as likely to go for 125 and a long TD. Basically, you better have some REALLY good WR option to leave Gordon on your bench once he starts playing.

I agree completely. You cast you die to get him and hold him. Now is the time to unleash him.
Wideouts I'd bench him for this week?
Calvin
Jordy
Demaryius
/list
I'd start him over Julio, Dez, Cobb, AJ, Hilton...anyone else. In fact I traded Julio away this week on the cusp of Gordon's return. It's time to sink or swim with him.

sorted for most recent news first:
That said, I am starting him.
My other WRs are Fitz and Martavis Bryant so he is starting along with Green and Sanu for me. There is a growing perception of risk he doesn't play a significant set of snaps. I liken how this team has handled it's RBs to this point as a bi-polar HS Cheerleader trying to determine her beaux for homecoming while she's dealing with that time of the month, so yes the risk is real with Pettine.

Check Roto yo. Took my man a day to get Pettine on board.
