Gordon (suspension) pled guilty to DWI in North Carolina on Tuesday, CBS Sports reports.
Gordon received 12 months of unsupervised probation and will be required to pay court costs and a fine for his July arrest. Currently suspended for the entire 2014 season, Gordon is believed to be destined to have his punishment reduced to 10 games, pending a final agreement on a new NFL drug-testing policy. However, when considering Gordon's guilty DWI plea, matters are complicated a bit. That's because the new league policy is expected to result in a two-game suspension for conviction of DWI. So while Gordon remains suspended, clarity on his future availability is contingent on the new drug-testing policy being finished.
Dude, if you can get Montee Ball or Bernard Pierce...DO IT NOW...RB's are hard to come by with all the injuries and Gordan can't play until week 12...your season could be over by then.
BigDawg, go back and read what he said. He is in a DYNASTY league.
Sam, it may hurt your chances for this season to hold onto Gordon, but if you are in a dynasty league then you hold onto Gordon. Those two backs you mentioned are short-term/temporary fixes. Ball benefits from nearly-40 year old Peyton Manning and Pierce is in a RBBC.
Gordon, on the other hand, is a monster talent. And he's freaking young. And this is a passing league. In a dynasty league? The trade is a joke. I wouldn't dare make it. You'll likely regret it next season, or even later this season, and beyond.
Counter with Montee Ball and a 1st for Gordon, take it or leave it. The guy who is interested either thinks he can make the playoffs this year without Ball, or is already rebuilding for the future (so his 1st is going to be potentially quite valuable). I see Gordon's situation as very similar to Justin Blackmon. Insane talent on a bad team, but if he can't get his head on straight he may never play again. If I could get Ball plus next years first out of the guy, then I'd probably do it.
Cheers guys, yeah I had a think about it last night and reckon it ain't worth it. I'd need more than either of them. I think in a dynasty league Gordon is worth a borderline RB1/RB2 now.
I guess Tate and Khiry, especially now that ingram is out, will help and it finally looks like Spiller is coming good after I drafted him 3rd overall last season.
so it could be week 14 return (including the bye week)? plus one more dirty urine and its over?
i stashed him in a few leagues but not sure if its worth it. he may have an impact in my playoffs or he may never make it back at all.... ever. odds are stacked against him. we shall see.

What do you guys think Gordon's trade value is in a dynasty league?
I've been offered Montee Ball or Bernard Pierce plus 1rd draft pick next year.
I'm looking for great RB: I currently have spiller, vareen, SJax, Khiry, ben tate.
My starting WR are Marshall and one of Watkins, Nicks, douglas, M.lee and justin hunter.
