How Will Josh Gordon Fare With Shanahan At OC?
(2/10 1:47 PT)

The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... In response to a reader question wonder how Gordon will do in new OC Kyle Shanahan's offense, Plain Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot replied: "If Gordon fares as well as seven-time Pro Bowler Andre Johnson in Shanahan's West Coast-oriented scheme, the reigning receiving yardage leader (1,646) will continue to tear it up." Reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It's a great point. With Shanahan as Texans' coordinator in 2008-09, Johnson led the NFL in receiving yards in both years (1,575 in 2008) and (1,569 in 2009). He also led the league in receptions in 2008 (115). During those two seasons combined, Johnson led the NFL in receiving yards (3,144) and ranked second in receptions (216). ... It's also worth noting the bulk of Johnson's numbers came with Matt Schaub at QB; one could argue that Schaub is less than a high-end signal caller. We still can't say with certainty who will hold that role down in Cleveland this fall, but Gordon proved last season that he's as "quarterback proof" as any receiver in the NFL.
