Josh Gordon's hearing scheduled for late July

Jul 03, 2014

With the NFL firing off suspensions today like shots from a Roman candle, some have wondered whether the next shoe will drop on the throat of Browns receiver Josh Gordon.

Per a league source, nothing will be happening today.

But it will be happening sooner rather than later. Gordon’s hearing, we’re told, has been scheduled for late July.

It’s still possible that a hearing won’t be needed, if the NFL and the NFLPA work out a reduced suspension.

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon actually outscored Calvin Johnson in PPG (16.2 vs. 15.8) and finished as the top fantasy receiver in 2013 despite missing the first two games due to suspension. He’d be a no-brainer top 5 wideout heading into 2014 if not for his pending suspension. We currently have him projected to play eight games, but that may be optimistic.

Broncos sign RB J.K. Dobbins to one-year deal

The Denver Broncos have agreed to a deal with running back J.K. Dobbins, adding another backfield option to a rotation that will be a work in progress as they move through training camp and into the regular season.

Related Players: RJ Harvey, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin

Fantasy Impact:

This could (hopefully) be a sign that the committee might be majorly led by Harvey/Dobbins, but we'll still see McLaughlin likely mixing in from time to time, and Estime could still handle a good amount of the goal-line work. Regardless, this is a situation to target on an offense that should continue to grow. Harvey should remain our top priority, but Dobbins is still intriguing, even if it feels doubtful that he makes it through a full healthy season.

Still no timetable for return for Colts QB Anthony Richardson

yesterday · 3:04 PM EDT

Colts HC Shane Steichen says Anthony Richardson (shoulder) still has no timetable for return. He went out to LA to visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the doctor who performed his AC joint surgery, to have his AC joint rechecked.

Related Players: Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard

Fantasy Impact:

Things continue to trend in a terrible direction for Richardson. The narrative has always been that the young QB needs more reps, whether that's in practice or real games, and he's had multiple issues delivering. The starting job could very (very) well be Daniel Jones' in Week 1, and the market has moved toward him starting far more games than Richardson in 2025.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will miss mandatory minicamp

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will not be at mandatory veteran minicamp as he seeks a new contract.

Related Players: Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey

Fantasy Impact:

It's probably not the worst idea for McLaurin to capitalize on his massive 82-1096-13 first season with quarterback Jayden Daniels. We would expect this to clear itself up before it impacts the regular season, but we'll keep an eye on it.
