Browns head coach Hue Jackson says Josh Gordon will start this week.

This Sunday will be Gordon’s first game since 2014, but the excitement from the Browns is evident. Jackson, when asked if Gordon will start against the Chargers, said “Are you kidding me? Yeah, he’s going to start.” All indications have been that Gordon will be thrown right in there and get a ton of playing time for the 0-11 Browns, so he offers monster upside as an elite talent that could be featured on offense. However, there are safer options for Week 13 considering the matchup with the Chargers and it being Gordon’s first game back.

Charles Sims gets five touches in Week 13.

Sims carried three times for 16 yards and added two receptions for 35 yards versus the Packers. Sims is only a recommended fantasy option in very deep PPR leagues.

Amari Cooper (concussion/ankle) did not practice today.

The concussion is the more serious issue for Cooper, so he’ll have to clear concussion protocol before we even worry about his ankle being fine. The Raiders are already down Michael Crabtree (suspension), so they could use Cooper in the lineup.

Jacquizz Rodgers gets three carries against Green Bay.

Doug Martin was out with a concussion, but it was Peyton Barber’s (27 touches) backfield in the Week 13 loss. Rodgers did gain 25 yards on his three attempts, including a long of 19 yards, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option even if Martin remains out moving forward.

Lamar Miller (knee) didn’t practice today.

Miller was banged up during Monday night’s game against the Ravens, but he did return to action and appeared to be OK. Expect him to be out there on Sunday against the Titans, but check in throughout the week on his practice status to see if there’s any indication of him being limited.

Matt Ryan, Falcons grounded in 14-9 loss to Minnesota.

Ryan was 16/29 for 173 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions. Atlanta had to settle for three field goals against arguably the top defense in the NFL, but some plays were left on the field. One of them came early in the game when Julio Jones was wide open on a slant with green grass in front of him, but it was high and off his hands. The Falcons will get a quick turnaround to face New Orleans in a gigantic matchup on Thursday night, and despite the struggles, Ryan should be a solid QB1 for the fantasy playoffs.

Will Fuller (ribs) did not practice today.

It’s still early in the week, but Fuller is in danger of missing another game while he deals with his rib issue. Realistically, the Texans’ playoff hopes may be finished after Monday’s loss to the Ravens, so the team probably isn’t going to rush their second-year receiver back into action.
