IMMensaMind 459 Posted December 9, 2014 With that said.... Are you benching him this week, and if so, who are you benching him for? I think I have no choice but to bench him, but I have Jordy, AB and Julio instead. In another league, however, the question is much more serious: I am thinking about benching him for Kenny Stills @ CHI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 20 Posted December 9, 2014 Gordon will hit my bench now. I'll start Dez, AJ Green, and Emmanual Sanders in one league. And, Julio, Alshon, TY, and Beckham in another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted December 9, 2014 morons http://espn.go.com/blog/cleveland-browns/post/_/id/10362/josh-gordons-contributions-vs-colts-were-minimal “I think we wanted to get Josh’s reps down a little bit and kind of balance it out a little more,” coach Mike Pettine said. “Get Travis and Gabriel, get their reps back up a little bit.” They lost by a point and they had their best player on the sideline for most 3rd downs. Pettine has done really well with his ragtag band of misfits but when he gets a real elite skill position player he just hasn't known what to do with him.

Gratefulegg1973 253 Posted December 9, 2014 I'll be stressing over him or Hopkins. I already know whoever I pick will be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennisMenace 156 Posted December 10, 2014 I'll be stressing over him or Hopkins. I already know whoever I pick will be wrong Yeah, I can't believe I'm saying this but I may have to bench gordon too. Evans or Benjamin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GS3K 12 Posted December 10, 2014 Well I held onto him all year only to have him and Graham do zilch in a must win game to get me to the playoffs. Zero running back draft ... what a crock of garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gpann101 32 Posted December 10, 2014 Thinking of playing Ashlon over Gordon... New qb, hasn't gotten it together yet...Tough to put all faith (lately) in him especially during playoffs. If I didn't have Beckham as well on my roster,Gordon's in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DontPushMe 5 Posted December 10, 2014 I have to start one of him, Roddy White, or Sammy Watkins I'm leaning Gordon. White prob has the lowest floor and lowest ceiling but Gordon is the only one who can single handedly win me the game. Tough call. I'd sit Gordon if I had options like those of u in this thread have tho To above poster, with Marshall out id definitely go alshon over Gordon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svanerkel 0 Posted December 10, 2014 It comes down to Gordon or Mike Evans for my flex, comfortably starting Dez and OBJ over both. Hard to bench Evans right now, not sure how I feel about Glennon possibly coming back though. The Bengals are tough against the pass too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 10, 2014 It comes down to Gordon or Mike Evans for my flex, comfortably starting Dez and OBJ over both. Hard to bench Evans right now, not sure how I feel about Glennon possibly coming back though. The Bengals are tough against the pass too Good grief...People are STILL debating wether to start Evans!? The debate is Evans over ODB or Dez, those are 2 players with similar production. Gordon is not in the conversation. such disrespect to what is shaping up as one of the great rookie wr years in recent memory. I have to start one of him, Roddy White, or Sammy Watkins I'm leaning Gordon. White prob has the lowest floor and lowest ceiling but Gordon is the only one who can single handedly win me the game. Tough call. I'd sit Gordon if I had options like those of u in this thread have tho To above poster, with Marshall out id definitely go alshon over Gordon. Roddy, then Watkins, then a free agent, then Gordon. You get the memo that he sucks and the browns havent thrown a td in like a month? Johnny will be busy scrambling and checking down, zippo for Gordon. Watkins is in another league and Roddy may get extra looks if Julio is dinged up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsmnutt 8 Posted December 10, 2014 Benji with Anderson throwing to him or Gordon with Johnny Football? I would have never thought I would be dealing with this dilemma come week 15. Really goes to show FF is mostly luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted December 10, 2014 Benji with Anderson throwing to him or Gordon with Johnny Football? I would have never thought I would be dealing with this dilemma come week 15. Really goes to show FF is mostly luck. I have the same two options in 2 different leagues, and I am rolling Benjy. Can't believe I'm saying that, but Gordon has to show me something before I can play him next week for the Ship. Anderson has shown this season that he likes to throw to Benjy, so taking my chances. May get burned....but just have to make informed decisions and roll with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozapd 8 Posted December 11, 2014 Currently Gordon is benched in both my leagues where I own him. ODB seems like a no brainer but Evans and Gordon is close. Currently going with Evans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbyn2022 53 Posted December 11, 2014 Dude was over thrown when he was wide open would have made his game way bigger if he caught that ball and the late ball he miss by inches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 459 Posted December 11, 2014 Cincy is tough against the pass. That's going to make the first read - likely Gordon - not easy. The second read - likely Cameron - is going to be far easier. I don't think much of Manziel; at least not what I've seen so far. I think the pro game hasn't even gotten close to slowing down for him. I think he looks for his first read, and if it isn't blatantly obviously open, he's going to quickly look for Jordan Cameron, and either complete a short pass there, screw up, or take off running. I think Pettine knows this, and will hand off a ton because of it. I think for these reasons Josh Gordon is not a good play this weekend, and nearly all of his production (I estimate 5-55) will come in the second half, when CLE is down by 10+ points. That is my view, and for that reason he's benched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am honestly at a loss as to what to do with Flash this week. We KNOW what he is capable of, and he's had 3 weeks to shake the rust off and get back into game shape. Manziel can buy time for Flash to get open....Cambell did this successfully last year. I held him all of this time because of his unquestioned upside, and it seems ludicrous to sit him when you need him the most. Blow-up players are who wins championships, and he is that type of player. Lotta red flags too, though. Decisions, decisions....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
