Start ‘Em #1

HE’S BAAAACK!!! After a long 10-week suspension, Josh Gordon is back and ready to contribute right away. Gordon came on to the scene strongly last year, and really emerged as one of the leagues most talented receivers.

He put up over 1,600 yards and 9 touchdowns in just his second season with a team who had multiple changes at quarterback throughout the season. Gordon has proven he doesn’t need an elite passer to put up those vaunted fantasy numbers that we all love.

What better time to return than Week 12 when Gordon and the Browns go up against the Atlanta Falcons, who have a struggling defense who is 26th against receivers in terms of fantasy points allowed. This Sunday could be full speed ahead for Josh.

The Browns hinted of “easing” him into the lineup, giving him a play count, but as the week has rolled on, I doubt that this idea is still in play, if it was even ever thought of. Maybe Mike Pettine is just doing his best Bill Belichick impersonation.

Bottom line is, if you have room in your lineup, start him. I doubt that you will regret it this week.

Consider him a strong option as a #2 WR this week.
