RedzoneMonster 102 Posted October 18, 2019 Assuming it looks like he’ll play by next week I think he’s a good buy low. Yes he’s been underwhelming so far, but he’s still been getting a good amount of targets and receptions. Most importantly, look at who NE has faced so far - all HORRIFIC all-time bad offenses where the NE D dominated and no real need for NE to throw the ball much. The upcoming schedule has a lot better offenses to face like Bal, PHL, DAL, HOU, KC. NE should actually have to utilize Gordon in those games. Anyone agree?

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted October 18, 2019 As someone who has Gordon, I'd sell him for a PB & J and I'm allergic to peanuts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted October 18, 2019 So the argument is that Gordon has only had good matchups so far, and he should get BETTER as his matchups get WORSE? LOL Josh Gordon: Ruining fantasy football teams since 2014. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldtimer 84 Posted October 18, 2019 With Henry coming back soon and the trade deadline approaching, I can't see how Gordon is going to do much, if anything, more than he has done so far. I never understood the hype for him this season. He's not the same WR he was several years ago by a longshot. On top of that, you have to deal with his many mental issues. Not worth it for a fantasy owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,315 Posted October 18, 2019 Sure buy him low since he shouldn’t really cost you anything. But I doubt it gets much better for him. For one thing N’Keal Harry is probably coming back (is practicing now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought at first you had your Gordons confused, with Hunter Henry coming back being a concern for Melvin Gordon--but then I realized you just got Henry confused with Harry.

BobSanders_33 127 Posted October 19, 2019 I drafted Gordon in 6th thinking he could be a steal. Watched a majority of the games this year. He is just lumbering. He lacks flexibility. A two weeks ago people where saying he would see his breakout @ Washington. Then he goes 5/59/0. On the Fantasy Feast Joe Dolan said JG was going to explode against NYG! Then he goes for 1/7/0. Now he is a big inflexible WR with a bad knee. I'd rather have AJ Green. At least if AJ comes back he is worth starting. JG is not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 403 Posted October 19, 2019 We've been waiting on him to reach his potential, outside of his one big season, for a long time. At some point, I think you have to move on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been holding him on IR in case the Pats lost a WR, no way he gets stats after Edelman, Gordon, Dorsett, White Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted October 19, 2019 I really think Gordon is fine, even great potentially. Problem is focusing on skill players not named Brady or unlikely to succeed elsewhere is not how NE rolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's played in 28 games since that "breakout" season--4.7 games per season. He's caught 103 balls (3.7 per game) for 1,662 yards (59.4 per game) and 6 TDs (0.2 per game) in those 28 games--and that's when he's not getting suspended, voluntarily checking himself into rehab, or being abducted by aliens. Yet every year he's a fifth-round pick. The slow learners who still draft him deserve what they get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His potential and that offense can justify a pick like that. He would certainly be better on a team that milked couple guys as opposed to Brady who spreads it around.

Hardcore troubadour 12,644 Posted October 19, 2019 He was good to very good in 6 out of the 10 games he played with the Patriots last year. He got hurt in the 11th. He was absoulutely worthy of a sixth round pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was only THAT good because he managed to avoid being suspended or committed for a year, but you're playing with THAT fire every time you draft Gordon as well. I personally wouldn't draft Gordon in the double digit rounds, but at least then I can start to see the argument. When you're still drafting starters? No way.

Oh look, a mistake in your favor. 96 in another, a TD in three other games. . If he was your 3wr, which a sixth/seventh round pick usually correlates to, he was fine. If you're scared of his off field, thats one thing. But his production says 6-7 round pick is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This does not mean, of course, that he only had 100 yards in 1 game; it means that he had 100 yards in a game in which he did NOT score a TD. The mistake was in my favor because the mistake was yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, if it WAS 6 TDs in 16 games, that wouldn't be so bad. But Josh Gordon's 6 TDs in his 28 games since 2013, that's not so good. And the not-quite-a-1000-yard season would be ok, if it WERE a season--but like I said, he's only averaged 4.7 games per year since 2013, too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimaveli 119 Posted October 20, 2019 Also, the Pats offense has been a mess. Offensive line injuries appear to be the main culprit. Whatever it is, several weapons have had to ‘backdoor cover’ their way into stats in their good games. RE: Gordon: right. He’s not the same physically as the huge and fast monster of a kid who ripped defenses for 2 months 6 years ago as a Brown. Anyone expecting that is for sure going to be disappointed.
