Josh Gordon Week 16 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 23rd 2017, 9:45am EST

Since returning three weeks ago, Gordon has been the go-to target for Kizer, though there hasn't been a whole lot of 'connecting' between them. He's seen 28 targets in those games, including 11 last week against the Ravens. The fact that he's getting so many targets makes him a must-play, especially against the Bears who have allowed nine different wide receivers finish as the WR17 or better, and all but one of them was the No. 1 option in the passing-game, which Gordon clearly is. There have only been five wide receivers to see nine or more targets against the Bears, and they averaged 6.6 receptions for 73.2 yards and 0.6 touchdowns. They'll ask Kyle Fuller to cover him the majority of the time, and while he has out-played expectations this year, he's a player the Bears decided to bench for the full season in 2016, though they said it was injury-related. Bottom line, he's not someone who can stop Gordon - only Kizer can do that. He's a low-end WR2 who has a high ceiling in this game.
