This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

I'd much rather have Gordon. We all know WRs last much longer. You can get a thousand bazillion years of useful production from a WR, while RBs don't even last 6 games before they break down and have to retire. You don't even get a full year!

A much more interesting discussion would be Smith vs Johnson.

LOL. That would be such a lame conversation because everyone knows Johnson is much better.

Fournette by a lot or me. 1.5-1.6 would be needed for me to make the swap. Don’t understand the previous post stating Gordon is more talented? How so? Because he ran through ginormous holes at Wisconsin? Remember Gordon’s rookie year? Remember fournettes rookie year? Fournette could barely get his health right in time for the year and still exploded into the scene and had a nice year without playing all 16. Give him another year to get his health right, he dropped weight, hopefully won’t get suspended for missing pictures, jags improved line more. This could be a truly special year. Gordon is not a bad back to have I just don’t think he’s 4nette and after this year don’t even think this will be a discussion.

I think he mixed up the Gordon's. This feed is about Melvin Gordon, not Josh Gordon.

I'm not saying Gordon will end up with the better career, although that wouldn't be a surprise. Both he & Fournette are very good players (obviously).

Fournette has more raw physical talent. He's bigger, stronger, and more powerful than Gordon.

Gordon is more skilled. He's a FAR superior receiver, he's much more slippery, and is more explosive in tight windows as well.

Pretty sure the smith vs Johnson was a joke on his part. Thank you for elaborating on the skills. I like both, just think fournette is the much better prospect and showed that in spite of his injury riddled first year where as Gordon was a total bust first year. Fournette also showed more than expected with his 33 catches in 13 games. Possible we have seen the best of Gordon. We haven’t seen the best of fournette.

LF for me. If you added a 1st with Gordon it should get done.

Fournette is going to have a monster year and it will be a much larger gap between the two this time next year. I would want a mid to late first.

And that's clear how? If you can't be bothered to even indicate exactly WHO you're talking about, nevermind the league settings and what the roster is, how can possibly trust what anyone says? We're all just blindly firing answers around.

Example- I prefer Melvin Gordon for his established durability and better receiving chops. Yeldon is stronger competition and sucks away the three down role better than Ekeler has and Justin Jackson could threaten. But, Jacksonville has fortified an already strong oline and has the defense to allow them to pound away. I've seen leagues that provide bonuses for hitting certain touch thresholds.

So, yeah, I can't see how anyone can give a quality viewpoint given the info.
