Gordon caught four of seven targets for 115 yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon was the main factor in DeShone Kizer's career passing day, going over the 100-yard mark for the first time this season. The bulk of his production came on a 54-yard gain which was initially ruled a touchdown, only for replay to reveal that he stepped out of bounds just before the end zone. Gordon returned from a lengthy absence in Week 13, but the 335 receiving yards he posted over the remainder of the campaign put him on pace for over 1,000 when extrapolated over 16 games. Gordon will be an exclusive rights free agent after the season, but his display over the final weeks of the season should entice teams to spend on him as a potential gamebreaker on the outside.

Gordon brought in two of eight targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon turned in his least productive effort since making his season debut in Week 13, and DeShone Kizer's inaccurate throws certainly didn't help his cause. Additionally, as per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Gordon was also apparently fighting an illness. Despite the disappointing stat line Sunday, the 26-year-old has certainly proven he still possesses plenty of play-making ability despite a nearly two-year layoff due to suspensions. He'll look to wrap up his comeback season in better fashion against the Steelers in Week 17.

Gordon finished with five catches (11 targets) for a team-high 47 yards during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon continues to be DeShone Kizer's favorite target among the receiving corps, but the quarterback's lack of accuracy is limiting Gordon's value. The 26-year-old wideout has been targeted 28 times since making his return to the team, though he has just 12 receptions to show for it. Some of that blame falls on Gordon, as he's been the culprit of a handful of drops, but much of it should rest on Kizer's shoulders. Whether he's missing open looks or throwing into tight coverage, Kizer needs to do a better job of getting the ball into Gordon's hands in order for Gordon to be a trustworthy and consistent fantasy option.

Gordon caught three of six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon picked up 38 yards on Cleveland's first snap and finished the opening drive with an 18-yard score, but Corey Coleman and Duke Johnson played larger roles in the passing game for the rest of the afternoon. Gordon still finished tied with Coleman for the team lead in targets, with DeShone Kizer attempting only 28 passes in a game that saw Isaiah Crowell rumble for 121 yards on 19 carries. Gordon gets a tricker matchup Week 15 against Baltimore, though the Ravens did recently lose top cornerback Jimmy Smith to a torn Achilles.

Gordon hauled in four of 11 targets for a team-high 85 yards during Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

In his first game since Dec. 21, 2014, Gordon picked up right where he left off, and could've had an even bigger day if it weren't for some misfires from DeShone Kizer. Still, the 26-year-old dominated the targets and led the team in receptions and yards. He's clearly Kizer's new favorite target, and his production should only improve as the two continue to build a stronger rapport. Because he hasn't played in nearly three years, Gordon is a risky play as the fantasy playoffs are set to begin in most leagues, but the payoff could ultimately be huge, especially if he sees double-digit targets.

Browns head coach Hue Jackson has a "load of plays" set up for Gordon, who will return from suspension to make his season debut Sunday against the Chargers, a source informed Adam Schefter of ESPN.

EDGE Analysis

Schefter adds that Jackson's game plan will limit the Browns' other wide receivers from a designed-play standpoint, suggesting that Gordon will be set up to pace the team in targets in his first game since Dec. 21, 2014. While that offers encouragement for Gordon's fantasy prospects over the final five games, his dearth of NFL action the last three years coupled with the extensive coverage he'll likely receive from a quality cornerback in Casey Heyward on Sunday might inhibit the wideout's upside to some degree.

Gordon (suspension), who was reinstated from the Reserve/Commissioner's Exempt list on Thursday, will start and "play a lot" Sunday against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The report more or less backs up what head coach Hue Jackson said a few days earlier, as Gordon has drawn rave reviews while practicing for the last two weeks and has quickly picked up the offense, leaving the team with few concerns about his ability to return to his 2013 All-Pro form. Because Gordon hasn't played in a competitive game in nearly three years, it may be worthwhile to curb expectations to some extent in his season debut, but it nonetheless sounds like the wideout could be targeted early and often in the contest.

The Browns reinstated Gordon (suspension) from the Reserve/Commissioner Exempt list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, the transaction formally clears the way for Gordon to suit up Sunday against the Chargers, in what will mark his season debut and first NFL appearance since Dec. 21, 2014. Browns head coach Hue Jackson has already announced that Gordon, who resumed practicing with the team a little less than two weeks ago, will start against Los Angeles, according to Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site, making the 2013 All-Pro an intriguing speculative lineup option right off the bat. Jackson also said earlier this week that he intends to have Gordon play as much as possible, so it wouldn't be surprising if he finished the day as the Browns' top target.

Gordon (suspension), who is in line to be activated from the Reserve/Commissioner Exempt list in advance of Sunday's game against the Chargers, is slated to start at wideout for the Browns in his looming return to action, Andrew Gribble of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon's upside is undeniable, but the talented wideout hasn't suited up for an NFL contest since Dec. 21, 2014 and joins the offense of an 0-11 team helmed by a rookie QB in DeShone Kizer. It's a context that makes the 26-year-old's statistical floor in Week 13 difficult to project, but should Gordon click with Kizer, he could be a fantasy factor down the stretch. This week, however, he's a speculative play, albeit a very intriguing one.

Browns head coach Hue Jackson said Gordon will play "as much as possible" when the wide receiver returns from suspension for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Patrick Maks of the Browns' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Browns are expected to formally activate Gordon from the Reserve/Commissioner Exempt list Friday and won't waste any time in reintegrating the 26-year-old, who led the league in receiving yardage in his last full season in 2013. That being said, it's unlikely Gordon will be asked to take on a full workload in his first NFL game in nearly three yards, so expectations for his Week 13 production should be tempered. If Gordon picks up where he left off prior to the suspension and proves to be a reliable option for young quarterback DeShone Kizer in Week 13, he could quickly surpass Corey Coleman for the top spot on the depth chart.
