6 Things I Learned From Week 12 of the NFL Season
Never Doubt Josh Gordon
No one knew what to do. Of course you were going to play Josh Gordon in your season-long leagues yesterday, but daily fantasy gamers saw reports of Gordon playing only 20-30 snaps on Sunday, while other reports said the Browns would unleash Gordon.
Hopefully you unleashed him as well.
Gordon ended his season debut against the Falcons with 8 receptions on 16 targets, going for 120 yards. The Browns' Brian Hoyer threw the ball 40 times, while the team's running backs combined for 26 carries, making for a much higher pass-to-run ratio than we've seen from the Browns this season. This was one of the things I noted that would be vital to Gordon's success, so things are certainly looking up.
Cleveland did face the league's worst defense on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see how they handle the Bills (seventh-best defense according to NEP) in Week 13.
