NFL 2018: Fantasy Football: 5 Players That are Currently Being Overvalued

#3 Josh Gordon

Green Bay Packers v Cleveland Browns

Josh Gordon is an athletic freak, who has shown he can be a top receiver in this league. His current ADP is the 4.11 spot, which for me is a little too high. The problem is that Gordon is not currently practicing with the team. He is staying away from the Browns due to a personal reason. It’s rumored that he doesn’t want to be involved in the Browns ‘Hard Knocks’ tapings and is taking care of his mental state away from the cameras. This is great, as players health has to come first.

It does, however, mean he is missing vital time with the team in camp and preseason matches. He isn’t getting the chance to build that rapport with the new QBs in Cleveland, Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield, whereas Jarvis Landry and Antonio Callaway are profiting from Gordon’s absence. The talk is that Gordon will be back with the Browns by the start of the regular season, but drafting him in the 4th round comes with a huge risk.

He is currently being drafted ahead of safer options such as Landry and Marvin Jones. If he is back and with the team soon then he will start to climb my rankings again. Until then, I see him as too big of a risk in the 4th round.
