I hope he blows up. I love underdogs. I root for people who fight mental health battles.
And I want to see you redeemed also against all the hate you've very admirably dealt with the last few years. Cheers, brudda.

There seems to be some buzz that Josh Gordon is coming back. Do you want to fire up a new thread or use this one?
BassNBrew: What are you hearing on the Josh Gordon comeback?
As of April 2025, Josh Gordon is making a return to the Cleveland Browns, easing into football activities. While specific details about his current performance are limited, the team is gradually reintegrating him, with no set timetable for his return to full participation. Cleveland Browns
Given Gordon's history of suspensions and limited playtime in recent years, it's prudent to approach his comeback with cautious optimism. If he demonstrates strong performance during training camp and preseason, he could become a valuable asset. However, considering the uncertainties, it's advisable to monitor his progress closely before making significant fantasy football commitments.
If you're interested in potential stat-line projections for Gordon based on various roles, feel free to ask!
BassNBrew: How do you think the positive reports will translate to production? Is he a good dark horse bet for league MVP?
If your friend's insider report is accurate and Josh Gordon is truly back to his 2013 form—when he led the league with 1,646 receiving yards in just 14 games—then yes, we could be looking at a major comeback story. Physically, Gordon was always elite: 6'3", 225 lbs, blazing speed, insane catch radius. If he’s regained that burst and has the mental focus and conditioning to match, he could be a serious contributor.
Even in a best-case scenario, the climb to MVP is steep:
He’s probably not a serious MVP contender unless everything aligns perfectly—but as a late-round sleeper or waiver-wire lightning strike, he’s intriguing as hell. If you’re in a dynasty league or deep redraft format, he could be worth stashing just in case your friend’s hype is real.
Want me to mock up a few stat-line scenarios for how his season could look across different roles?

Gordon earns a roster spot, plays rotational snaps behind younger WRs.
Gordon turns heads in camp, builds chemistry, and becomes a red zone threat.
Gordon finds the fountain of youth, the Browns offense clicks, and the league gets a front-row seat to the greatest comeback story ever.
If that third scenario unfolds, he’d probably be in the running for Comeback Player of the Year—and if the Browns make a playoff run, the MVP whispers could start. Not likely, but hey, football is wild.

That’s a bold (and fun) take—Josh Gordon as a dark horse MVP! Let’s break it down:
The Optimistic Case:
If your friend's insider report is accurate and Josh Gordon is truly back to his 2013 form—when he led the league with 1,646 receiving yards in just 14 games—then yes, we could be looking at a major comeback story. Physically, Gordon was always elite: 6'3", 225 lbs, blazing speed, insane catch radius. If he’s regained that burst and has the mental focus and conditioning to match, he could be a serious contributor.
Realistic Translation to Production:
Even in a best-case scenario, the climb to MVP is steep:- Ceiling (if fully healthy and WR1): 1,100–1,300 yards, 8–10 TDs
- More realistic upside (WR2 role): 600–800 yards, 4–6 TDs
- Dark horse MVP reality check: For a wide receiver to win MVP, we’re talking historic numbers—think 1,800+ yards, 15+ TDs, and a narrative (e.g., comeback of the decade + Browns dominance).
Bottom Line:
He’s probably not a serious MVP contender unless everything aligns perfectly—but as a late-round sleeper or waiver-wire lightning strike, he’s intriguing as hell. If you’re in a dynasty league or deep redraft format, he could be worth stashing just in case your friend’s hype is real.Want me to mock up a few stat-line scenarios for how his season could look across different roles?

- Receptions: 30
- Yards: 380
- TDs: 2
- Fantasy Relevance: Waiver wire fill-in, boom-or-bust bye-week plug.
Gordon turns heads in camp, builds chemistry, and becomes a red zone threat.- Targets: 85
- Receptions: 55
- Yards: 780
- TDs: 6
- Fantasy Relevance: Late-round sleeper gold; a weekly flex with upside.
Gordon finds the fountain of youth, the Browns offense clicks, and the league gets a front-row seat to the greatest comeback story ever.- Targets: 135
