Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Buffalo, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was a limited practice participant throughout the week to earn the questionable tag. The 27-year-old snap-share has risen in recent weeks despite the previous hamstring issue, and at this point there's no specifics to suggest is availability for Monday's game is truly in doubt.

Gordon (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant once again Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was on the field for 61 of 64 snaps on offense in last Sunday's 38-31 win over the Bears and with no reported setbacks in that contest, we believe that the wideout's practice limitations are simply a case of the team managing his reps with Gordon's previous hamstring issue in mind. Whether he's listed as questionable or removed from the team's Week 8 injury report Saturday, we expect Gordon to play in Monday night's game against the Bills. With his snap counts rising and familiarity with the offense continuing to grow, the talented wideout merits weekly fantasy consideration while working in the Patriots' surging offense.

Gordon (hamstring) was listed as alimited practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon logged 61 of 64 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 38-31 win over the Bears. With no reported setbacks in that contest, we'll operate under the assumption that the wideout's limitations Thursday were maintenance-related. We fully expect Gordon to be fine for Monday night's game against the Bills and now that his snap counts and familiarity with the offense are rising, he's a weekly fantasy consideration.

Gordon played 61 of 64 snaps (95 percent) on offense in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
This marked a second straight game handling a starter-type workload after Gordon played 81 percent of the snaps Week 6 against Kansas City. He took advantage with four catches for 100 yards on seven targets this time around, including 55 yards on a catch-and-run that came up just shy of the end zone. Chris Hogan also drew seven targets and finished second on the team with six catches, but his snap share (66 percent) was a distant third to Gordon and Julian Edelman (98 percent), while Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson combined for just 14 snaps. Gordon should stay busy in a Week 8 trip to Buffalo.

Gordon (hamstring) pulled in four of seven targets for an even 100 yards in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon almost had a much bigger day, but he narrowly missed getting into the end zone after bouncing off a few tackles on his way to a 55-yard catch in the fourth quarter. The former Browns receiver continues to appear on the injury report with a hamstring injury, but that issue is likely declining in severity with each passing week. Gordon's improving health and growing role in New England's passing game are both reasons for optimism against the Bills in Week 8 and beyond.

Gordon (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
With tight end Rob Gronkowski (who leads the Patriots with 405 receiving yards) sidelined with a back injury Sunday, Gordon's profile in the team's offense has a chance to continue to grow in Week 7. The wideout, who logged 18 snaps in each of his first two outings for New England, was on the field for 63 of a possible 78 snaps in Week 6's 43-40 win over the Chiefs, en route to hauling in five of his team-high nine targets for 42 yards. With a 6-foot-3, 225-pound frame and top-flight playmaking skills, the arrow in terms of Gordon's fantasy upside is pointing up, now that he's gained more experience in the Patriots offense and continues to move past the hamstring issue that slowed him early on during his stint with the team.

Gordon (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, is expected to play in the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since acquiring Gordon from the Browns on Sept. 18, Gordon has been listed on the Patriots' injury report every week with the hamstring issue, but it doesn't seem to be nearly as concerning as the questionable designation might imply. Gordon has suited up each of the past three games and played 63 offensive snaps in the Week 6 win over the Chiefs, so it doesn't appear likely that he'll face any limitations Sunday. In fact, Gordon could see his involvement in the passing game grow in Week 7 with the Patriots down one of their top targets in star tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back).

Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, but we expect him to be a go this weekend. After logging 18 snaps in each of his first two outings with the Patriots, Gordon was on the field for 63 of a possible 78 snaps in Week 6's 43-40 win over the Chiefs. The added workload led to him catching five passes on a team-high nine targets for 42 yards. He'll take aim at the rugged Bears defense on the road in Week 7, but with an expanding role in a dynamic offense, the fantasy arrow is clearly pointing up for the talented wideout.

Gordon (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon still hasn't logged a full practice since joining the Patriots, but he did play 63 snaps (81 percent) and lead the team in targets (nine) during Sunday's 43-40 win over the Chiefs. With no report of a setback, Gordon could handle another sizable workload Sunday in Chicago, facing a Bears defense that's surrendered a 71 percent catch rate and 9.6 yards per target on passes thrown to wide receivers. Granted, the Bears have been far from toothless, averaging 3.6 sacks and 2.0 interceptions per game.

Gordon caught five of his team-high nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 43-40 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
In his third game with the Patriots, Gordon (who logged 18 snaps in each of his first two outings with the team) was on the field for 63 of a possible 78 snaps. Meanwhile, Julian Edelman logged 71 snaps and Chris Hogan was out there for 47 snaps. Looking ahead, we expect Gordon to remain a key weapon in the Patriots attack, and as he gains added familiarity with the team's playbook and gets more in sync with QB Tom Brady, production will follow. He'll take aim at the rugged Bears defense on the road in Week 7, which poses a challenge, but the arrow is clearly pointing up for Gordon now that his workload is on the upswing.
