Best Pick: Josh Gordon
Josh Gordon is like that ex that you just can't quit. Yeah, you know the one I'm talking about. The one who has done so much wrong but had that one awesome year where everything was Utopian. The same goes for Gordon and Gordon fans.
He has played just five games in the last three seasons due to several drug violations, and we are all chasing that magical 2013 season where he went for a monster 87/1646/9 receiving line.
It's been a relatively quiet offseason for Gordon, which has to be a good thing with his track record. So far, the only comments have been positive, as he's looked good in early practices for a revamped Cleveland offense that added Jarvis Landry (via trade), Carlos Hyde (free agency and Baker Mayfield (draft) in the offseason.
Gordon only caught 18 of the 42 targets thrown his way in 2017, but with expected improvement at the quarterback position those 8.4 targets per game should lead to some very useful fantasy outings this season.
