The Facts:
In
newly signed Nate Burleson, the Browns finally have the piece that's been missing from their receiver room forever: a veteran mentor with a tremendous work ethic and attitude. Plain Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot believes Burleson, who's credited with helping Megatron come out of his shell, could be just what Gordon needs.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Although Gordon rocked the NFL with 1,646 yards in only 14 games, his work ethic was called into question and he needed a savvy veteran to show him the way. Now he may have that. Not only does Burleson bring his natural, infectious leadership ability, he brought a double-dose of work ethic -- his own and the one he absorbed from Lions teammate Calvin Johnson. "When I wanted to have a great day, he wanted to have a great day," Burleson said of Johnson. "When I wanted to work out double, he wanted to work out double. When I wanted to lead the team in conditioning, he was already ahead of me. So I saw this stuff every single day and not only did he do those things, he was amazing on the field.' For fantasy football owners, anything that might give Gordon even the slightest chance of improving on last season is a positive.
