I know that this isn't Rams related, but I have to get this out. Some guy in my espn fantasy league just picked up Josh Gordon off of the waiver wire. This is an "Andre" move. I felt bad and emailed him about his current circumstances, car salesman, not wide receiver. Though I am curious if I could trade him Tim Tebow?

Is it a keeper league? Maybe he's gonna stash him for next season.

I play in a 14 team league, and I dropped Aaron Dobson for Gordon today, call me crazy, but I have a feeling Gordon is going to play professional football this season

No keeper. I'm not positive, but I don't think Gordon can appeal the ruling.

He has already lost the appeal. Bt if the league announces new, more lenient penalties and test thresholds, he can sue the NFL, an while the issue is in court, he could be allowed to play.

Per Rotoworld:

Appearing on NBC's NFL Kickoff 2014, Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reported Josh Gordon and Wes Welker's suspensions could be reduced or "go away completely" if the NFL and NFLPA agree on a new drug policy.

According to NFL.com's Albert Breer, Sunday is a "soft deadline" for an agreement. The Washington Post has since confirmed PFT's report. The sides have been trying to hammer out a pact that would allow testing for HGH. As a concession, the league would then raise the threshold for positive marijuana tests, and move amphetamines from the PED policy to substance-abuse policy. First-team substance abuse violations do not mandate a suspension. The situation is still very much up in the air, but it appears Gordon is worth stashing.

I picked him up too. Well worth dropping the 15th man on your roster for the small chance of the best fantasy receiver coming back this season.

What the hey. I just took a flyer on him, too.

BTW, I've discovered the best fantasy football advice is to go with your gut. I knew I shouldn't have started Eddie Lacy vs. the Seahawks.:mad:

Looks like he suffered a concussion too.

Hope he's okay. These concussions are a pox on the game.

Anyway, cuz I picked up Gordon (I think he'll play this year), I have to wait for Starks on waivers. If Lacy's got a concussion, I'm sunk for RBs...

I've got one of the worst FF rosters I've ever had. Maybe I'll take a chance on him too. Can't hurt.

Thanks for the heads-up on Gordon. Stashed him at the bottom of my roster (until the NFL makes a move one way or another, anyway).
