lesjroza 70 Posted May 12, 2014 Please log any Gordon trades you see take place. Its really hard to get a handle on his value. I personally have 1 short roster league where I have the best team and would love to sell him just for the roster slot. I also have a league where I am not competitive and would buy him for the right price but feel the risk level is pretty high. Just looking for hard data, please include link to league if possible.

Voltaire 4,556 Posted May 13, 2014 Sheesh. The biggest boom/bust player in dynasty leagues is Gordon by a couple of light years. I don't even know who's in 2nd place. I don't have him in either dynasty league, (I had him in two redrafts last year) but I'd be willing to trade for him. The price is cheap now. Of course, he may never get over being an irresponsible tw@t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted May 13, 2014 The price is cheap now. Of course, he may never get over being an irresponsible tw@t. What is that price you'd pay exactly? I've seen estimates range the gamut from top 25wr to 'never draft at any cost'. I have a team that's built to win now save Gordon inhaled. I'm selling but not for peanuts. If you were rebuilding or maybe a year or so away from competing what would you give for an asset with Gordon's kind of potential right now not knowing what the suspension is?

IGotWorms 3,309 Posted May 13, 2014 I'd trade for him in dynasty. Give up a low end WR2 or high end WR3. Those guys are a dime a dozen whereas Gordon is gold IF he ever gets his sh1t together. Unlikely but you never know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lesjroza 70 Posted May 13, 2014 This is a pretty good rookie crop with a lot of young potential WR2s and 3s. What's the over/under on a rookie pick you would deal for Gordon remembering that if you are picking high you prolly have a need and you been counting on a nice reinforcement all off-season wheras picking low you can prolly afford to take a shot. What's the sweet spot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTD 56 Posted May 13, 2014 I have him in one dynasty league & a handful of low end WR2/3's. I've got Charles/AP & Lacey as my starting RB's & may be forced to trade one of them since Gordon's value is so low. Have him as a potential keeper in another league (7th rounder) for the next two seasons but if he's facing a long suspension it takes him out of consideration. Have Jamaal Charles (2nd rounder), Giovanni Bernard (4th rounder) Rob Gronkowski (6th rounder) & Keenan Allen (10th rounder) as my other options with 2 keeper selections.

If you were rebuilding or maybe a year or so away from competing what would you give for an asset with Gordon's kind of potential right now not knowing what the suspension is? My team is Maltese Falcons. White Wonder of Boondock Saints is the Josh Gordon owner. I think I'd offer either Kaepernick or Crabtree. Note that this is a 14 team league. http://football14.myfantasyleague.com/2014/options?L=14857&O=07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted May 13, 2014 If youre asking if id sell gordon for kaep or Crabtree, the answer would be negative. Crabtree might be closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you were rebuilding or maybe a year or so away from competing what would you give for an asset with Gordon's kind of potential right now not knowing what the suspension is? I tell you my thinking is along these lines: last year I was able to make the playoffs despite crushing losses of Crabtree, Cobb and both of my two TEs (Rudolph and Keller) for extensive time. So I predict that I should be able to make the playoffs again this season. Therefor if Gordon only gets a 8-10 week suspension... It could be this guy likes imbibing too much and goes full-out turd like Titus Young, Cecil Collins, Lawrence Phillips, or Onterrio Smith (?Justin Blackmon?) and I'd get jack nothing out of him. But the upside is through the roof and worth the risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
