I appreciate the thoughts, that's kind of what it ending it coming down to. Our league is also half point PPR, and Gordon's activity in the passing game put me over the edge for him.
I ended up shipping away Elliot and Hopkins for Evans/Gordon. Elliot is a crazy talent, so I don't feel great about giving him away, but I needed the upgrade at receiver, and I'm just glad to be rid of the Elliot suspension soap opera (not to mention, wasting a bench spot on the McFadden handcuff).
Thanks again for your help.
