Mike FF Today 721 Posted August 16, 2019 The NFL is conditionally reinstating the New England Patriots wide receiver following his indefinite suspension, the league announced. Gordon is allowed to return to New England's facility and engage in conditioning work and individual workouts on Sunday. Subject to appropriate progress on clinical care and other arrangements, Gordon will be permitted to participate in team activities including practice. The receiver may attend but not play in New England's third preseason game on Aug. 22. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 721 Posted August 16, 2019 Hard to peg Gordon's fantasy value right now. Certainly can't project him to play all 16 games regardless if he starts Week 1. He hasn't done so since his rookie season and given the relapse risk, I can't imagine taking him any higher than a WR4. I'm sure ADP will have him much higher that that, so it looks like I won't be getting many shares of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted August 17, 2019 I'll take Gordon just before Watkins. Both are going to miss games, give me the guy thats a wr 1 when he plays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobSanders_33 127 Posted August 17, 2019 People will get excited about this news. I agree that people will reach to draft hom now and it is so likely the he relapses at some point. He just can't emotionally take pressure without turning to drugs and alchohol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Chewy 98 Posted August 17, 2019 8th round feels about right. i'm sure there will be plenty of people who reach for him...though i like that this may not be well known by everyone for my draft tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wk9-wk14 he’s a wr2. After Edelman I can see him being Brady’s second best target, based on lack of a te and young WRs. Im going to target him as a wr3.

He can't keep his head clean for any length of time. He has limited his upside with these issues. He's about the same as D.Jackson. Boom or bust. then with his issues you can have him.

weepaws 3,158 Posted August 17, 2019 Hey I’ll take him. If he’s ready to roll and if he starts the season I can see a wr3. Pats seem pretty limited at that wr and te postion this season, and I’m sure his talent would be welcomed. Hey he just missed that wk ten by one spot, but I’ll still count it. Thanks.

Maulers1973 117 Posted August 18, 2019 DND for me. Far too much risk. I won't touch him, not in any round period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,158 Posted August 27, 2019 I hope he falls so I can get him, would love to pick him up as a low wr3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justforbeer 41 Posted August 27, 2019 Yeah, I was pretty excited to see this news but the more I think about it and his more recent history, The wide receiver field in New England is pretty crowded. I think this is a way overrated pick. Last two 12 team Drafts he went 56 & 67. That is Cupp, Landry, Jeffrey, Robinson, AJ territory. crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,158 Posted August 27, 2019 He will out perform those players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 4,057 Posted August 27, 2019 Lotta risk but could be decent reward. No not like that one magical year in Cleveland. But definite potential for 1,000 yards and 10 TDs. Pats lost Gronk and N’Keal isn’t quite ready. That means Gordon is the go-to in gotta have it contested catch situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 740 Posted August 27, 2019 1 hour ago, weepaws said: I hope he falls so I can get him, would love to pick him up as a low wr3. at this price I figure the risk vs reward becomes even. If you lose him to rehab (again) you havnt paid a high price, and it wont ruin your season if you draft well otherwise. If you are drafting him to be your WR2 or WR1, I'd suggest you are in trouble. but as a low end to mid range WR3? I personally try to draft two players for that slot and play the matchups anyways. I also find that more often than not, you can pickup a player on waivers who can put up WR3 Numbers if you stay on top of things during the year. so the risk at this point is quite minimal.

rallo 136 Posted August 31, 2019 It's hard to place a value on Gordon... possible WR2 w/ high risk... does that make it worth it in the 6th? Seems like he is going earlier than that... still haven't decided, what are you guys doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
