Browns WR Josh Gordon’s absence creates a potentially crippling void the Browns will have to fill by spreading the ball around to several players.

It leaves opposing defenses able to approach the Browns playing two-deep with corners keeping plays in front of them. In a time when the passing game has become dominant, the Browns will rely on passing efficiently, running the ball and playing defense.

Fantasy Impact: 

TE Jordan Cameron will feel the absence of Gordon as well, because no longer will teams have to double the outside. Cameron may get more targets, but he looks like he'll get a lot more attention from defenses, too. With a lot of questions at QB, the team may have to run more with Ben Tate and Terrance West, but eventually teams will stack the box unless they can somehow threaten defenses with the pass.

Miles Austin

Josh Gordon suspended for calendar year

Nearly four months after the NFL proposed a one-year suspension for Browns receiver Josh Gordon, a decision has been reached on his appeal.

Per a league source, hearing officer Harold Henderson has upheld the one-year suspension.

It means that Gordon will be banished from the team and the league for a full calendar year. He’ll be eligible for reinstatement as of August 27, 2015, only days before the start of the 2015 regular season.

Fantasy Impact: 

There were unsourced reports (from the Browns blog Dawg Pound Nation) that Gordon’s camp was planning to sue the NFL if his suspension was upheld, so we would wait for the dust to settle before dropping him. There is a big movement to cut Gordon at this point, but we don’t see the benefit of rushing to do so. We recommend playing the waiting game a while longer and see what Gordon’s camp does next (if anything). A potential injunction may allow Gordon to play in 2014. If he’s out, the entire Browns offense takes a hit, save for Jordan Cameron, who should see a ton of targets, and possibly Ben Tate, if the team elects to go run-heavy. Miles Austin and Andrew Hawkins likely see the bulk of the targets at wide receiver.

Browns RB Terrance West’s natural running ability jumps off the field.

His explosiveness and speed are exceptional. So, too, are his instincts.

Sometimes, though, the jumping part is too literal. As with many rookie running backs in the NFL, West will occasionally choose to jump rather than run through holes. And jumping rarely works for someone at his position unless he’s attempting a leap over the goal line.

Put it on the list of lessons that the Cleveland Browns’ third-round draft pick from Towson must learn to have long-term success in the NFL and to make an immediate contribution backing up veteran Ben Tate this season.

Fantasy Impact: 

West has an ADP of the 11th round and may not be a bad back to take at that point to add some depth to your team. Tate will likely get some carries but seems prone to injury so West could have lead back touches at some point sooner than later. The obvious issue with West is so far the Browns have struggled on offense and the QB situation has been a mess. Factor in the team could be without star WR Josh Gordon for at least part of the season and West looks more like a matchup play until we see how things play out.

Brian Hoyer

Browns could use two QB system

Browns QB Johnny Manziel has one more preseason game to prove to the coaching staff that he's ready for a package of plays early on, maybe even for the opener in Pittsburgh.

Manziel will replace Brian Hoyer in the second quarter against the Bears Thursday night, and finish out the half. He might even play into the third quarter. And if he can provide the same kind of spark in the preseason finale that he did in the dress rehearsal game at FirstEnergy Stadium, he'll make it tempting for coach Mike Pettine and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to install something for him right away -- especially if the first-team offense continues to struggle.

Fantasy Impact: 

There are headlines all over the news today that the Browns could use a two-QB system similar to the 49ers with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick. Hoyer has little fantasy value right now so as it is, the potential loss of WR Josh Gordon coupled with losing time to Manziel certainly isn't going to help. Unless Hoyer is lights-out to start the season, it seems like only a matter of time before Manziel is the starter.
