Gordon is included in ESPN.com's Eric D. Williams' projection of the Chargers' 53-man roster heading into the season.
Though Williams doesn't go into detail about that optimistic take regarding Gordon's status, it's worth noting that the writer "expects Gordon to end his holdout in time to be on the Week 1 roster." In contrast, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested a week ago that Gordon's holdout could continue into the season. Given the mixed reports along with the fact that there's been nothing concrete regarding a potential resolution regarding his contract situation, Gordon still carries a "buyer beware" label into fantasy drafts and auctions.
