    Hey Guys,
    Thanks for all the help up to this point. This is my second year with you and I am just as happy this year as I was last.
    With that said;
    I am currently maxed out on my team with 5 WR:

    Antonio Brown, Pierre Garcon, Kelvin Benjamin, Kendall Wright, Josh Gordon

    We start 2 WR each week, and this week I am starting 3 because of BYE weeks. Because I have 1pt PPR,
    I am seeing the value of having high scoring WR on my team both starting and in the bench position. For example, this week for fill ins I am very much considering starting Kelvin Benjamin over Shane Vereen.
    Is Josh Gordon worth the bench spot over people like Eddie Royal, Golden Tate, Terrance Williams, or Jordan Matthews? Should I consider trading him for a better WR? Or is he worth enough to hold out for a higher end RB trade? This morning, I was just simply considering dropping him, but I wanted to get someone elses input after I heard someone on NFL morning say he is worth holding to trade.
    Thanks very much for your time.
    Brian

    Thanks for the support. Let's see what at @Greg Brosh says. But if I was you with that receiving core that you listed. Yes I would grab gordon for the playoffs

    Since you have 4 receivers who all have value, Gordon is still worth holding onto. It's really that one week where you have no one else to start. That's the time to start considering dropping him. He has no trade value as of now. Not sure why people think he would since he hasn't played.
