To touch on the Josh Gordon topic-
Obviously, first and foremost, it depends entirely on what he has left in the tank. He couldnt break into the Seattle rotation, but that was Lockett and Metcalf.
KC has needed a WR opposite Hill since before Mahommes was even on the team. One could argue they had Sammy Watkins and didn't use him..well, Sammy Watkins couldn't usurp Hollywood Brown in Baltimore, so maybe not a great example. Maybe Gordon has more than Watkins, maybe he doesn't.
And yes, that air attack flows through Kelce and Hill, and defenses pick their poison as to which one they'll try to eliminate any given week, and the other generally feasts. BUT..consider that that #2 WR role has been filled by multiple guys in a rotation the past few seasons..Watkins, Robinson, Hardman, and others, and between them, we're talking roughly 100 targets a year...if there is ONE guy who can fill that role, as opposed to 2 or 3 combined getting those targets..that's easily a flex worthy guy.
The biggest questions is, and one we can't know the answer to until we see it on the field, is Josh Gordon that guy? Does he still have enough to be that guy?
Hardman is that guy.
Andy and Pat just haven’t realized it yet.
