What to do with Melvin Gordon...

Recommended Posts

So he is a top 10 rb as long as Lindsay is out... but with Lindsay due back soon... is he a good candidate to trade away? What can you get for him?

I’m just gonna start him every week. You could consider him a sell high as well but you would want something good. Don’t sell him for Drake for example. Package him with something else for a 1st rounder under the premise of them downgrading at RB a bit but gaining another position they needed.

I’m not so sure you can get a really good return, if the other owner understand the value of Lindsay when he does return. 

If Lindsay can stay healthy, he’s going to be used , even more so with the injuries to Fant and to the WRs.

I think he's the perfect guy to package with a flex level RB, WR or TE, and go for a solid RB1 or WR1, or if you can upgrade from say, Matt Ryan, to  Russell Wilson, Dak, or Josh Allen at QB

Depending on scoring systems of course

I could  get Mclaurin for him.. and i need WR help bad in a 12 teamer... but i think thats too much to give up

McLaurin is a top 10 WR right now, and he just got a QB upgrade.  If you can get McLaurin for Gordon, do it.

If you need wr, which is what you typed , I would do that deal.

Whatcha talking about? Hang on to him, and fire him up each week!

RB's are at a premium this year....and he's currently the #11 non-ppr RB.

Not sure if he’s an upgrade, McCaffery padded Allen’s stats. I have been happy with Haskins forcing more balls to McLaurin this year. Almost 10 targets a game.

The coaching staff seems to think so.

Didnt Ron draft Allen in Carolina? I’m just hoping target stay there with the switch at QB.

Do it. Expect touch count around his week 1 and 3 performance.. and probably less catches.

Not so sure about that.  I own McLaurin too.  His situation is really really bad.  I'm doubting any ROS high rankings on him right now.

well.. as long Allen is the QB (which looks like he is) He'll be fine. If one legged checkdown Alex comes in... the whole O will be atrocious.

Gordon is looking at 4 game min suspension, even if cleared.

Wish I owned Lindsay right now.

Someone dropped him in a 10-teamer a couple of weeks ago and I stashed him.

Boom.

One hit on Allen, and A Smith will be the Qb.

calm down Sally.  This is first offense for Gordon.  I believe the NFL/NFLPA agreement (since 2014) for alcohol related DUI would be MAX 1 game and 1 game salary fine.  First offense for drinking and driving may be waived, and he can also ask for a hearing to fight any suspension handed down.  Since court system isn't addressing it until mid-November he's probably plug-n-play until then at the very least.

What I saw was, possible 2-3 games.

Crazy. Who is starting Lindsay @ Gillette?

Flipping a coin between Lindsay and David Johnson for RB3.  I'm not really keen on starting guys who haven't played in 3+ weeks, though...
