Josh Gordon Placed On Injured Reserve
5 years agoThe New England Patriots placed wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Gordon was injured on Thursday night two weeks ago and sat out of Monday's blowout win over the Jets. There's a chance he'll return to the team later this year, but Gordon effectively won't be of much use to fantasy owners the rest of the way. With him out of the picture, it'll mean bigger workloads for Julian Edelman, Phillip Dorsett and rookie Jakobi Meyers. The Pats also just acquired receiver Mohamed Sanu from the Falcons, but it remains to be seen how quickly he can get up to speed with the offense and how exactly he'll be used. Meyers and Sanu are both worth grabbing off the waiver wire if you owned Gordon or if you need receiver depth. Gordon has just 20 catches (36 targets) for 287 yards and one touchdown in six games this year.
