KC Chiefs place receiver Josh Gordon on NFL reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Thursday game The Kansas City Chiefs will need to make some alternate plans at wide receiver after Josh Gordon lands on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • BND.COM

Tests positive for COVID-19 Gordon was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Gordon caught two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown, his first since 2019, during Sunday's win over the Raiders, but he's now landed on the reserve list. The 30-year-old will only have a few days to clear the health and safety protocols before Thursday's matchup with the Chargers.

Logs just 12 snaps Gordon played just 12 offensive snaps and didn't receive a target Sunday against the Broncos.

Impact Coach Andy Reid indicated a few weeks back that Gordon should be more involved in the offense in the future, but we haven't seen that come to fruition up to this point. Gordon has just two catches to his name in the eight games he's played with the Chiefs and doesn't appear to be trending in the right direction as far as playing time goes, logging just 22 percent of the offensive snaps this week compared to 42 percent in the team's last game versus the Cowboys. Gordon is safe to leave on the waiver wire until he sees a major uptick in snaps and draws more looks in the passing attack.

Red-hot Chiefs brimming with optimism after late-season bye

The last time the Kansas City Chiefs had a week off at this point in the year they didn’t lose against until the next season

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Catches one pass Week 11 Gordon secured one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Gordon played 43 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps Sunday, matching his season-high rate from Week 10. The wideout's playing time has increased throughout the season, but it hasn't translated into much fantasy production. Gordon will look to get more involved in Kansas City's passing attack following the team's Week 12 bye.

To be more involved Coach Andy Reid indicated Monday that he's expressed to Gordon that it's only a matter of time before the wideout is a productive member of the offense, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com re...

Impact Reid also suggested that Gordon needs to remain patient but that his opportunities are supposedly on the way. Gordon did log a season-high 32 snaps against the Raiders on Sunday, but he has just one catch to his name in the six weeks since joining Kansas City and has been targeted just four total times. Until we begin to see a bit more in the way of looks his direction, Gordon can safely remain on the waiver wire in most formats and a stash, at most, in some deep formats.

Fails to reel in lone target Gordon couldn't haul in his only target Monday versus the Giants.

Impact While Gordon didn't do much of anything offensively, it is encouraging that he saw a bump to a 40 percent offensive snap share after playing no more than 14 percent through his first three games. Even so, it's still probably best to wait for some form of production on his end before considering him for fantasy lineups and rosters.

Another silent week Gordon failed to reel in his lone target Sunday versus the Titans.

Impact Gordon didn't see any real increase in his playing time in this one, logging just eight offensive snaps. Through three weeks, he hasn't played more than 11 offensive snaps in a game and has just two targets to his name. It's unclear at this point if he is still working to get the Chiefs' playbook down or if he's simply just a depth option moving forward, but Gordon is far from a viable fantasy option at this point.

Goes without target Gordon didn't draw a target on any of his 11 snaps Sunday versus Washington.

Impact A report during the week suggested Gordon could be in line for more reps Sunday. While it was technically the case, the increase was just from eight to 11, hardly enough for him to do much from a fantasy perspective. It's unclear exactly how much Gordon has left in the tank at this point, so he's likely just a stash option in some deeper leagues at the moment.

Impact Assuming the Chiefs are able to follow a more normal game script Week 6 against Washington, Gordon may have more of a role in the offense than he did in his debut. Even if Gordon is able to double or triple up his snap count from Week 7, he's unlikely to see enough volume in the passing game to make a major fantasy impact.

OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited snaps in debut Gordon reeled in his lone target for 11 yards Sunday night versus the Bills.

Impact Gordon played just eight offensive snaps, likely due to begin unfamiliar with the playbook but did manage to scratch out a reception in his debut with the team. Given the lack of production from other wide receivers on the roster, Gordon could stand a chance to carve out a consistent role on offense once he gets the playbook down.
