Josh Gordon has been reinstated and will serve a 4-game suspension to start the season. Interestingly enough he will return the same week as Tom Brady as New England takes on the Browns in week 5.
A reminder that Josh Gordon led the league at the wide receiver position with only playing 14 games in 2013. Many forget how below average he played in the 5 games he played in 2014:
- 47 targets
- 24 receptions
- 303 yards
- 0 TD's
Ultimately I think this destroys the value of Corey Coleman and Gary Barnidge who both were relying on volume to be valuable in 2015. As far as ranking Gordon this year, we all know his ceiling is sky high, but with the suspension and time to get acclimated back to the game of football I think his best value will come later in the season and in 2017. WR3 is as high as I can go with Gordon right now.
