What round would Gordon be?

It is not so much about which player is better, but more about who makes the better value. I would take whichever player is the later pick. Their situations are both very similar.

Remember that Cleveland threw more than any team in the NFL last year. This season, they are running as much as anyone. Gordon's is unlikely to produce elite WR numbers in the current system.


both would be round 7, watkins and gordon

the others though stating those two arent worth keepers, you got 1 top ten, in a pass first offense with reggie aging, and a budding star not far behind who was banged up and still up there in scoring

SP, they are not considering the value.

If you could keep 2 players with no draft penalty, then, no Watkins would not be an ideal keeper. If you already had better options though, you would be where you are in the standings. Calvin is not a keeper for you, Watkins is.

Also, if it is same round, I take Watkins. He is much less risky than Gordon, and truthfully I do not think his ceiling is any lower.

TY or Watkins for Calvin no worries choose the 1 you want more both great value...Gordon has lots of risk but if he comes through a steal..

lets take value out of it and say its straight re-draft, in a ppr league your not taking ty hilton in the top three rounds? i sure would

Top 3 round? No probably not... he is still a little TD anemic. But he wouldn't slip past me in the 5th

late 3 early 4 is realistic in PPR however an aging Wayne could mean more coverage on TY
and it all depends on who you draft with however i do not have a valid reason to say he isnt worth a late 3

this started as an ethics thread..and now.....

i gave my input on your info it is a Keeper league so no need to question of the what if it wasnt to judge value..it is what it is

Pull The Trigger...

Both Watkins and Hilton are young. . Still plenty of improvement to be seen. Why anyone wouldn't at least consider them to be a very good keeper candidate is beyond me
