Corey Davis vs Josh Gordon

Postby esteeav » Fri Sep 21, 2018 1:37 pm

Josh Gordon likely has WR1 potential in the Pats' offense but still comes with a huge risk, whereas Corey Davis has been underwhelming thus far in his career but it's still early on in only his second year.

If you were offered a 1-on-1 swap, which player would you prefer, assuming you're competing this year but also have a young team that will compete for a few years? (.5 ppr)

I'm not so sure. Corey Davis could still bust (or at the very least, be stuck on a bad offense for a few years) while Gordon is now playing with Brady in an elite offense. He is only 27 years old and has top 3 TALENT. A lot needs to go right, but very few players have his ceiling. High risk/high reward, but it's not like Davis is a sure-thing either.

He's also 1 strike away from never playing in the NFL again and was just moved pretty cheaply by the Browns. The Pats are desperate to find help at WR so bringing him in is far from a guarantee that he'll actually play for them, and it's not 2013. We can't say that Gordon is a top 3 talent right now even if he clearly was 5 years ago. The risk of Gordon is just too high to gamble a player as highly valued as Corey Davis. If you don't believe in Davis, there's probably an owner in your league who does and will give you someone like Jordan Howard, Zach Ertz or Aaron Rodgers for him.

The answer is Davis, even if you're not a believer. For those who aren't you'd be able to flip him for something much more valuable than Gordon.

Yeah you guys are right. It's gonna be frustrating to trade him if he blows up but Davis is a better asset and much less risky. Thanks everyone!!
