I support the marginalization of Gordon and Fournette in this thread.

watching Fournette's tape struck me as a guy that is good but no longer great.  Gordon is washed from what I saw.

Gordon had some really good receptions and runs last year, especially in the second half of the season. He hasn't lived up to expectations over his career, but I don't think he's washed. Williams is likely to become RB 1, but Gordon could be a good handcuff. Let's see how Williams looks in pre-season.

I think Fournette's issues are of the AB variety, and if Brady and BA coddle him he will produce.

Sure, Gordon showed flashes, but mostly he looked like a 28 year old running back with mileage.  

No shame for Gordon, he's had a solid career despite some serious injuries.

I'm not sure the stats / evidence bear it out, but it seems to me every year the most undervalued running backs are the proven veterans whose team drafted a RB high. They often aren't good RB1's, but depth or flex drafted late.
