Josh Gordon is getting a lot of attention for his candid interview with GQ on addiction, which is definitely well worth your time, but from a fantasy perspective, the Cleveland Browns wide receiver you should be looking to stash is Corey Coleman.
Coleman is officially eligible to return in Week 11, and was the number one wide receiver for the Browns before getting injured in Week 2. He saw 13 targets prior to suffering a broken hand, and since then, no Browns receiver has really emerged to take his place, including free agent bust Kenny Britt, whose role is practically nonexistent at this point. Even on a team being led by a struggling DeShone Kizer, Coleman should see high volume on a team lacking weapons.
However, it's worth noting that the Browns have some tough matchups coming up -- leaving Coleman as more of a deep league pickup -- including a brutal matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Looking ahead, their best matchup comes in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers.
All this isn't to say that Gordon isn't worth a look, but keep in mind that he won't be eligible to return until Week 13 at the earliest, and even then there are no guarantees. We all know the checkered history -- now more than ever -- and he hasn't played since 2014. On a fantasy team with a playoff spot locked up, you could do worse than buy that lottery ticket, but know going in that the chance of cashing big is slim.
