nos23 1 Posted October 5, 2014 Are you guys willing to give up a little more than you should for Gordon ? He can win some championships for you when he gets back on field. Does he get #1 status from week 12 when he returns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted October 5, 2014 I have no interest in Gordon at this point. All my focus is on making the big dance first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperSteelers 1 Posted October 5, 2014 I am holding him for now but it's killing my depth. We have a short bench as it is and keeping him with the expectation he might help me down the road doesn't bode well during bye weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
himmystyles 29 Posted October 5, 2014 I am holding him for now but it's killing my depth. We have a short bench as it is and keeping him with the expectation he might help me down the road doesn't bode well during bye weeks. Same. I doubt I'm gonna mAke the playoffs and having one bench spot less than others is definitely a contributing factor. Can't shake the love I have for him for single-handedly getting me to the dance last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breesman32 11 Posted October 5, 2014 I plan to make a move for him before he returns if Kelce, Rodgers, and Jeffery stay healthy before then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breesman32 11 Posted October 5, 2014 And no I was not trading all three of them for just Gordon, I plan to ask for a second big stud and Russell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted October 5, 2014 I'm Holding him. 6 bench spots in a 12 teamer. Is it more or less difficult with shallower benches? I know the shallower bench means the player who would take Gordons place is better compared to leagues with deeper benches however all the other teams also have shallower benches and finding Bye week WR4 or RB4 should be easier.

Matt Mueller 146 Posted October 5, 2014 ^ That's an interesting take. Def still easier with deeper benches. I just would hate to have that roster spot tied up all year. I mean I would much rather have the flexibility to grab a 2nd D, like GB this week, and maximize my weekly lineups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sperri40 12 Posted October 5, 2014 I started out 0-2 and had a weak bench, so I traded him for Cruz and I am feeling confident that was the right call. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 993 Posted October 5, 2014 I have been holding him in a deep league. He could come right in and mesh with johnny football by then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuschWack 56 Posted October 5, 2014 I was 0-3 and traded Gordon, Brady, Welker, Ball, Hurns and Gerhart for Dalton, Gore, Wallace and Harvin.. TOTAL TEAM OVERHAUL I feel pretty good about the trade. Now 0-4, but off to a solid start this week caus of Lacy and the Pack D Thur night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLM827 4 Posted October 5, 2014 Holy crap that's a big trade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLM827 4 Posted October 5, 2014 I have JG12 on all my teams and I cannot wait to use him. I only have 1 league with a short bench so I'm not worried. He's been practicing with his team and working hard I presume. No reason to not think he won't beast. Plus the Browns will be excited he's back out there. What if Hawkins and Cameron are strong by then...he will get 10-15 targets a game hands down no argument. He's unstoppable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted October 5, 2014 ^ I'll argue with that. He won't average 12.5 targets a game. I'll take the under. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SNZ11 5 Posted October 5, 2014 I also have him on my bench and I will trade him if I get a good offer, otherwise I feel great about having him as a late season addition. Cleveland really needs someone like Gordon, and he has has been practicing so it's not like he will come in there unprepared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DontPushMe 5 Posted October 5, 2014 I'm stashing him. I don't think I'd get fair value and adding him for the last 5 games will be huge. Him and Thomas with garcon/white Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

move4000 1 Posted October 5, 2014 I just traded Gordon along with Garcon and Jeremy Hill for Eddie Lacy and Sammy Watkins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 20 Posted October 5, 2014 I have him in 2 leagues. 12 team shallow bench (4-0) and 10 team deep bench (3-1). I committed early and missed on some FA to keep Gordon. I'm hanging onto him all year...sink or swim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted October 5, 2014 I had him until i was in desperate need of finding an RB2 and dropped him. No one in my league has picked him up yet. I also have D. Thomas, Julio, and Marshall suo not a crazy need for Gordon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
50shades 10 Posted October 5, 2014 I traded Jordan Matthews after his big game. Feeling great about it especially since I am 3-1 and have a playoff team (I Hope) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Breesman32 11 Posted October 7, 2014 I'm thinking more about this. Do we know for sure if Hoyer is just going to target the heck out of him like Weeden did when he comes back? I mean before Hoyer got hurt, he was looking at Cameron more than Gordon. Gordon has his one big game under him against Minnesota but Cameron had 3 TDs too. I mean so far Cameron isn't exactly getting the targets, but also Norv is no longer there and Hoyer may not just force feed Gordon the ball considering he didn't do it before. I just don't know if we will see those 20 per week games from Gordon when he comes back and it could be a risk for me trading Jeffery for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbyn2022 53 Posted October 7, 2014 Traded Cooks in a keeper league. Cooks was $12 and will play all year but Gordon at $10 for 4 years is a steal I don't care if I have to wait 10 ges. Cooks will never be the player Gordon is. Best cooks turns out is a Djax or Steve Smith which imo is take Gordon over almost anyone in the league beside the big 3.

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted October 7, 2014 Holding him In a 10 teamer with 7 player benches. My team is strong enough that it's worth holding on to. My team is very strong though and if I were struggling, i'd probably trade or release if it meant a better shot at making the playoffd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roroco 75 Posted October 7, 2014 I have him in two 10-team leagues. - I am in third in one league. I am holding on to him until I feel like I might be losing a playoff spot (4 teams make it). As it stands, my team is very strong (the one in the sig). - My other league, I am in 7th, but 8 teams make the playoffs with a few teams getting a bye. I am stashing him to the end for the playoffs even if I need the space a couple of weeks. I am just playing the odds that I will make the playoffs and I am stacking my team for the last 3 weeks.

JT 137 Posted October 7, 2014 I'm at 3-2 and scoring at a solid pace, so I'm going to sit tight for now. If things derail in weeks 6-8 I might be looking to make a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,878 Posted October 7, 2014 2-3 and I've had him rosetted for weeks on a bench of 6. I don't think anyone will offer more than another bench player for him so there's really no point in dealing him, why trade high upside stash for garbage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dennis29 6 Posted October 21, 2014 Now is the time to grab him from owners with iffy chances of making the playoffs. I'd try the old quantity for quality deal. Package a couple #2 type guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigeru 65 Posted October 21, 2014 Almost seems like the time to grab him off waivers too. Crabtree and White aren't doing a whole lot for me and Marshall's hit or miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DontPushMe 5 Posted October 21, 2014 On what planet is Julius Thomas a "#2 type"? I'm offering 3 #2 type of players for him. Including jordan reed to replace him for the guy. Sorry my post was confusing to you. If you build good depth in free agency you can typically package a #2 wr, #2 rb, and another good player for a stud. I'm not talking Murray or DT, but find someone in your league starting cj0k and Eric Decker at 2-5 and see if they'll work with you.
