Gordon (hamstring) listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon - who was acquired from the Browns last month -- was active for the Patriots' last two games, en route to logging 18 offensive snaps in each contest. With his comfort with the team's offense growing, the talented wideout's workload could see an uptick in a potential Week 6 shootout, making the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder an intriguing fantasy lineup option in his third outing catching passes from QB Tom Brady.

Gordon (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
With no reports of any setback with the hamstring injury he first suffered back in September when he was still a member of the Browns, Gordon never seemed to be in much peril for the Week 6 matchup. Though Gordon seems on track to suit up, it's unclear if an active status would come with an expanded role in the game plan. Gordon has been limited to 18 offensive snaps in both of his appearances with New England, hauling in four of six targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in those contests.

Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
EDGE Analysis
The wideout has been managing a hamstring issue since he was acquired from the Browns last month, but Gordon suited up for both of the Patriots' last two games, logging 18 offensive snaps in each contest in the process. With a 6-foot-3, 225-pound frame and top-flight playmaking skills, Gordon carries obvious upside in the New England offense. Assuming he's a go this weekend, which we believe will be the case, Gordon's workload could see an uptick in Week 6's potential shootout, making him an intriguing fantasy lineup option in his third game catching passes from QB Tom Brady.

Gordon (hamstring) remained listed as a limited participant at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
We doubt that there's much concern over Gordon's Week 6 status, but one story line that could impact his fantasy prospects this week is that Chris Hogan (thigh) did not practice Thursday. Hogan's 63 snaps (out of a possible 69) on offense in Week 5 were tops among the Patriots' wideouts, so if he is limited or out Sunday night against the Chiefs, Gordon (18 snaps in Week 5) would likely see an uptick in playing time.

Gordon (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon has been managing a hamstring issue since he was a acquired from the Browns last month, but he suited up for the Patriots' last two games and we suspect that he'll be good to go again Sunday night against the Chiefs.

Gordon (hamstring) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon saw 18 of a possible 81 snaps in his debut with the Patriots in Week 4, en route to catching both of his targets for 32 yards. He's a candidate to see more snaps in the coming weeks, but he'll still have to contend with fellow wideout Chris Hogan as well as slot ace Julian Edelman (back from suspension) for targets in the Patriots' passing game. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds and with top-flight playmaking skills, Gordon brings upside to the table, but he's still growing into his role with his new team and therefore profiles as a boom-or-bust fantasy option.

Gordon (hamstring) islisted as questionable for Thursday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
With no reported setbacks in Week 4's win over the Dolphins, we expect that Gordon (who caught two passes for 32 yards in his New England debut) will be fine for Thursday night's game. With that in mind, Gordon's potential workload (he saw 18 of a possible 81 snaps this past Sunday) and the impact that the return of Julian Edelman is bound to make in the Patriots' passing game profile as more legitimate concerns for those thinking of using Gordon in fantasy lineups this week.

Gordon (hamstring) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon continues to nurse a hamstring injury, but does not seem to have suffered any sort of setback since suiting up for the Patriots' 38-7 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. Despite having been limited to just 18 offensive snaps in his New England debut, Gordon brought in both of his targets for 32 yards and and assisted in revitalizing the team's passing attack. The 27-year-old wideout appears on track to suit up for Thursday's game against the Colts, but his lingering hamstring issue and the return of Julian Edelman should hamper Gordon's target volume.

The Patriots' estimated practice report Monday lists Gordon (hamstring) as a limited participant, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With no reported setbacks in Sunday's 38-7 win over the Dolphins, we suspect that Gordon will be fine for Thursday night's game against the Colts. While he may end up with a "questionable" injury designation for the contest, Gordon's potential workload and the impact that the return of Julian Edelman might make in the Patriots' passing game probably loom as more legitimate concerns for those thinking of using Gordon in Week 5 fantasy lineups. In his debut with the Patriots, Gordon logged 18 (of a possible 81) snaps on offense, en route to hauling in both of his targets for 32 yards. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds and with top-flight play-making skills Gordon brings some upside to the table in the coming weeks, but the return of Edelman, along with the continued presence of fellow wideouts Chris Hogan and Phillip Dorsett, running back James White and tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle), ensures that Gordon isn't always going to be peppered with a high volume of targets.

Gordon (hamstring) brought in both of his targets for 32 yards in the Patriots' 38-7 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon didn't have much of a final line to show for it, but he was able to make his highly anticipated Patriots debut and make good on both of the looks he saw over the course of his 18 snaps. The 27-year-old is expected to see his role expand in coming weeks as he gets further acclimated to the offense, and he could see that occur as early as a Week 5 Thursday night matchup against the Colts if Rob Gronkowski (ankle) is sidelined for that contest.
