Hmm...okay. I like the WRs for a league with this depth (Westbrook especially could be a big beneficiary of Foles) but I agree with @Shanemansj13 that a lot of faith is going into Sanders for that RB spot. Carr is pretty hit or miss as well, but unless Brown goes AWOL his production should be better throwing to him instead of the corpse of Jordy Nelson.

Yeah I should be ok with my WRs but my RBs could be my downfall

What to do with him? Is he even worth having on your roster?

I kept Bell last year as a sacrifice to the fantasy Gods.

So far so good.

Who will have a better season? (assuming he plays) Gordon or Bell?

Breida in the last round?
And Gordon in the 2nd to last round?

wish i was in a league like that - you should run rampant in that league, judging by the draft results.
doubtful you get much competition on the waiver wire for the best players throughout the season if no one in your league had a clue that Breida was worth more than a last round pick.

gotta wreck havoc where you can, get after'em and bring home a title!

Usually when I do something this "well" I fall flat on my face and lose the league

Bell.

After last year they'd want to keep Melvin more fresh.
Bell is getting paid to be run into the ground.

I took Gordon in the 2nd or 3rd round and now I'm wondering if it was a good move its starting to look like he might now play the season. People say that Bell was dumb for holding out but he did win out in the end. He got 52.5 million and 35 of it is guaranteed and if he would have gotten hurt last season he would be playing on a 1 year deal. So Gordon might look at that and say that this is worth it.

In a redraft league, I sure wouldn't put much faith into him. Where you drafted him is perfectly fine, not much risk there, more often than not a dude drafted that late doesn't stay on your roster long anyways. However, his name may keep you from jumping on a guy off waivers that actually could help you win. You may not make that move because you're holding onto this idea that he'll save you. IMHO, the most likely scenario is that he stays out till week ten, then reports, just to get his season towards free agency. Awful long time to occupy a spot, especially when byes and injuries start taking affect. But I can't foresee anything but that unless they find a trade partner, which, given the recent news on the offer they rejected and what they're looking for, seems to be a near impossibility.

I agree with all this but I would still hold him until your roster requires a move. He probably does not get traded or signed but I would think that he would come back week 10 to earn his service year.

Yep, he holds out 10 games probably, but he might show, it was worth a late pick.

Or he goes full Lev Bell and does not report even though he said he would

That as well.. Though I thought Bell had more money so it was "easier" for him to sit out...

Bell had no money since he never signed his tag. He got zilch for sittin out & voided $14.5m. If Gordon is voiding just north of $5m of his last year under contract.

Pressure is on Gordon right now. Justin Jackson & Austin Ekeler are balling out today. Gordon suddenly looks extremely disposable. Maybe he'll hope they trade him.

Melvin Gordon.... Gor..... No?
