WR Josh Gordon, KC (2 Viewers)

[Banger]

Top 10 easy. How high do we go?

He's got the talent and opportunity to be among the top receivers. He'll probably be 10th or better after this week playing with 3 different qb's and being suspended 2 games.

 

[playoffs12]

now the Jordan Cameron situation sucks.. wish I would have got rid of him before Campbell came into the picture

Gordon's situation is only better due to the chance for the long ball. If he doesn't get one in a game, his week is going to suck too. Caveat emptor, my friend. I have Gordon too and am dreading the week 16 @NYJ matchup. He will probably ride pine for me that week if my other options are still in tact at that point.

HAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHA

Gordon is a must start. you cant bench this guy

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

Next year. I am smelling 3rd-4th round pick.

Not if I'm drafting in your league. Solid round 2!

The days of having an LT, Emmit, Priest single handedly win games for you is now being replaced with the WR day like he had yesterday and Calvin, etc.

I got a combined 13 points between my two starting running backs. I'm still up by 50

My RBs were Ingram and Ivory (hey that has a ring to it!) less than 7 points combined and I smoked my opponent because of him!Sing it like the song! Ingram and Ivory, if you need four points, they get you three! LOL

Man, I stayed up too late watching football...

 

[CentralPA]

He's a wrecking machine!

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I got to watch a good bit of the game - wow.

What Gordon's done with three different QBs going in and out is incredible.

I guess we wait to see if Campbell comes back, would still rather he was in there.

I have 4 keeper spots + a rookie and I'm likely to go AJ Green, Gordon, K. Allen and Gronk with 4 of my 5 spots....2-3 years ago I could never imagine not keeping 2-3 RBs...

Me too. All year I was intending on keeping: Luck, AP, Dez, Julio.. I think Gordon has officially worked his way into a keeper spot over Luck.

I don't know...Weeden has a big arm and has eyes for him. He locked on him in garbage time (as he should) and Gordon just gets open at will. Then when he has the ball in his hands he just seems to glide and seems to turn a simple 6 yard crossing pass into 25 yards. He just makes it look so easy like he's barely trying...reminds me a lot of Moss.

I would...that's a hell of a wr trio....only thing that worries me is the pot issue.

Well Talib gave DT fits last night. Lets not get too excited about the matchup just yet. I know the wind played a huge part in Peyton not getting the ball there quickly but Talib is playing very well right now. I'm still not benching him, but I'm not going to jump off the building if he doesn't have a monster day either.

Didn't Thomas score a touchdown on Talib?

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Good....Gordon will get single coverage and toast him.....doesnt everyone always say he just needs one play to have a good game?

 

[VA703]

talib is overrated

 

[Franknbeans]

Talib is having a great year but he also has a bum hip. Gordon will eat him up.

 

[Slider]

Gordon could be Blackmon or AJ Green. You just gotta hope he's the latter. I almost traded him but I guess I'm going to hang on in my dynasty. I still don't feel comfortable with him.

 

[JuniorNB]

These days, people think there are way too many shutdown corners. There are lots of GOOD corners, but very few, if any, shutdown corners. Look at Joe Haden yesterday. Antonio Brown ate him up. A great receiver will beat a great corner, if the QB can get enough time to allow it., Last week, people in this very thread said that Gordon would struggle because of Ike Taylor. Talib, Haden, Revis, Taylor, Sherman....all good corners. None of them are Dion Sanders.

Revis was a monster before his knee injury.

Agreed. Pre-injury Revis was the closest we've had to Sanders. But currently, there are none out there which require anyone to bench a top ten to fifteen receiver.

Yet here we are, mocking the chumps who bench Gordon week after week due to matchups, only to get mushroom slapped by Gordon's third leg

Didn't Thomas score a touchdown on Talib?

Yes he did. An 11yd TD. He ended up with 4 for 41 with a TD. Talib also picked off a pass intended for DT. Not sure the point you are trying to make there. Look, I didn't say to bench Gordon. I started him since he returned and will continue to roll him out. All I said was I would temper my expectations a little after watching how well Talib covered DT. I am not saying Talib is a true shutdown corner either. I think the wind kept Manning from getting the ball to DT as quickly as it needed to be. Watching the game last night, Talib's coverage on DT was fantastic.

Regardless though it doesn't matter. Gordon is a must start and really has been all year. People benched him his first week back to see how he would perform after the suspension and he was great. People benched him when Hoyer got the start and with Campbell. He's going to have bad games from time to time but he should never be benched. I'm just enjoying the ride and hopefully he leads us all far into the playoffs.

 

[T with T]

on my bench...DOH

Why? What made you bench him?

Im too embarrassed to say lol...if you have to know...Harry Douglas ....i didnt trust Clevlands QB situation...doesnt matter,im winning this week anyways...lesson learned

THANK YOU! Now I don't feel nearly as bad. At least I only sat him for Hilton. Harry freakin' Douglas?!?!?!?

Harry douglass has actually been a stud since Julio has gone out top 7-8 wr if you add it up bud not to stupid of a move imo. Hilton is pretty good to and has been hot but Douglass is right with him.

 

[T with T]

Josh Gordon is A beast Traded A. Morris and G. jennings in a ppr dynasty league 2 weeks ago for J. Gordon. I had AP, Mccoy, Stacy,Ellington already and needed a wr. I love this kid. I just hope he keeps his nose clean and stays out of trouble. Has the talent of a AJGreen, Julio, Dez, Blackmon.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Just checked out of curiosity. Gordon is only behind Calvin in scoring since his return from suspension. I don't see how he doesn't start every week.

 

[silentcoach]

Fact. J.Gordon has reached atleast 125 yds and 1 td in each of the games that he's had at least 10 targets. Keep targetting him.

 

[matttyl]

Just checked out of curiosity. Gordon is only behind Calvin in scoring since his return from suspension. I don't see how he doesn't start every week.

He's #2 in points per game at the position. Of course Julio Jones is #3 and is no longer playing and D Thomas is #4.

All that said, if he were guaranteed to never be suspended in his career, would you have him in your top 5?

sure...probably something like Calvin, AJ, Julio, D. Thomas, Dez, Gordon.....in tier terms though I'd have Calvin in his tier and then the other 5 in the next one....they will be within a td or two of each other at the end of the year...In dynasty terms didn't put Marshall in there due to age.

I'm more worried about Talib on Weeden than Talib on Gordon.

Talib has been getting gimpy during games though.

 

[donkshow]

Just stay clean in the offseason and be the beast that you are for the next 10+.

 

[smapdi]

What a total beast. He's been a stud WR1 that's been my WR3 all year... valuetown

Ditto. Been riding the Calvin / A.Brown / Gordon gravy train all season.

Same here man. Went Calvin in the 1st, Dez Bryant in the 2nd, and I think I got Gordon in the 13th. Haha

If it wasn't for such a terribly unlucky start opponent wise, I would be sitting very pretty at the moment.

Not many teams can handle:

WR1: Calvin Johnson

WR2: Josh Gordon

FLEX: Dez Bryant

This is also a PPR league with bonuses for long TD's (Gordon!!) and 100 yards

So glad I grabbed Calvin in the 1st over someone like Ray Rice or Spiller. I'm sorry, but in PPR leagues, WR's are just too valuable these days.

Just my 3 WR's put up 89 points between them. That's tough to handle.

I am so glad I rolled the dice on Gordon. Everyone gave a little chuckle when I picked him- " You know he's suspended right?!" . Even with those goose eggs and a bye, he's WR16 before this 47 point game is averaged in. Just unreal production

 

[biju]

Already receiving offers.

Vincent Jackson and a 2014 2nd? I think not...

 

[rickyg]

He was absolutely the difference for me in my matchup this week. Single handedly won it for me.

Weeden is a better fit for Gordon. Campbell has no downfield vision and just doesn't seem to want to throw the deep ball

 

[Alluro]

I still remember Braylon Edwards beasting on the Browns. I'll wait until Gordon puts more of a resume together.

[Insein]

Late to the thread. Drafted him this year in the 10th. Had no idea what to expect with the suspension. He's been a godsend. One of the key cogs to keeping me going all year.

good. if steve smith can beat him I don't think Gordon will have a problem

Tali dominates physical receivers. He crushed Julio when they met. He played Demaryius extremely well despite injury. That said,Talib is gimpy... and Gordon has been about as dominant as you can be this year.

 

[maf005]

Talib jams receivers at the line as well as anyone in the league. Escaping those first 5 yards is brutal

 

[Raider Nation]

Dude is a monster. Halfway through the 1st Q, he's got 8.5 points without scoring a TD.

That's a full game of production for some other good WRs.

I am not trying to be critical of you RN, you are a rock (love ya man), but I never understood why people post scoring relative to their leagues instead of simply putting in a stat line. For example he has 4 points in my league, it's a nice start to his day but nothing spectacular and it is completely irrelevant to anyone else's league.
