WR Josh Gordon back on indefinite suspension; Browns moving on

Oct 03, 2016

Josh Gordon, who was due to come off his four-game suspension Monday, remains on the Browns' reserve/suspended list pending further notice from Commissioner Roger Goodell, a league spokesman told cleveland.com.

Gordon left the team on Thursday and checked himself into inpatient rehab.

A league source told cleveland.com that he's seeking help for an alcohol problem.

Regardless, Hue Jackson made it clear Thursday the Browns are parting ways with the oft-suspended receiver, who's been banned for 31 of his last 36 games.

"What's best for our football team is that we move forward and move on,'' Jackson said. "He's not going to be with us and we wish him well, but we're moving forward. We're going to move on."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the team will likely release Gordon at some point but it doesn't have to be immediately because he's not taking up a roster spot or getting paid. In terms of fantasy, it seems safe to say Gordon can be dropped in redraft leagues. He will need to turn his life around before being allowed back on the football field.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
