Fantasy Impact:

As rumored earlier today, the Patriots quickly became a frontrunner to acquire Gordon. The team was lacking a vertical threat with the departure of Brandin Cooks this offseason and Gordon will fill that role immediately. While it seems like a best case scenario, it still typically takes a little time for receivers to get acclimated to a new playbook and surroundings. Gordon clearly is talented and Brady would easily be the best quarterback he's ever played with. Expect offensive coordinate Josh McDaniels to make the most out of Gordon, but it may take some time. Both Gordon and Brady should see an uptick in fantasy production.
