Belichick: Patriots WR Josh Gordon's role expanding

Oct 16, 2018

Belichick on Josh Gordon: "I would just say his role is expanding weekly and we'll just see how it all plays out."

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon saw his snaps increase from 26.1% in Week 5 against the Colts to over 80% against the Chiefs last week. Gordon was targeted nine times and caught five balls for 42 yards. It seems like at this point Gordon is only going to improve on those numbers

The same hip injury that recently forced Ryan Fitzpatrick into retirement has sadly done the same to pass-catching specialist James White.

Related Players: Rhamondre Stevenson, Ty Montgomery, Pierre Strong

Fantasy Impact:

One of —if not the— best pass-catching running backs of his generation, White will hang up the cleats at 30 years old. In his steed, it clears the way for Stevenson to continue working on third downs, while dark horse veteran Ty Montgomery could find himself with a bigger workload than we would have imagined when he signed with the team.

The former first-round pick was hoping for a jump-start to his career in his first year with the Bears, but things aren't starting well.

Related Players: Equanimeous St. Brown, Velus Jones

Fantasy Impact:

The 24-year-old sustained the high-ankle sprain during Saturday's practice and now will miss all of the preseason and around a month of regular season action. This leaves the already barren Bears WR depth chart even thinner, offering QB Justin Fields a steep hill to climb during his sophomore year.

Rookie Davis-Price has time to work his way into that number two slot, but he has some work to do to create separation behind starter Elijah Mitchell.

Related Players: Tyrion Davis-Price, Trey Sermon

Fantasy Impact:

The article goes on to say, "the 225-pounder (Davis-Price) has managed to look like a violent runner even in non-padded practices, and the 49ers are eager to see whether that plays out in the...offseason." Jeff Wilson has shown flashes of production with the San Francisco offense in the past but has had a long history with injuries. If Davis-Price can't wrest the RB2 slot away before Week 1, I would expect the switch to come soon after.
