Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has really established himself among the NFL's elite receivers. He's one of the top deep threats in the game, and though he's underwhelmed when it comes to touchdowns, he continues to put his team in position to score week-in and week-out.
Fantasy football sit/start advice, Week 12: Josh Gordon
We take a look at whether or not you should start Josh Gordon in Week 12.

The Browns will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12. Gordon is coming off a game in which he caught five passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted a whopping 15 times, which might mean the Browns are relying too heavily on the second-year receiver, but he's been coming through, regardless.
Pittsburgh has a decent secondary, as they allow 215.6 passing yards per game, but Gordon has been effective against good secondaries this season.
Fantasy Sit/Start: At this point, Gordon has well-established himself as a fantasy force. He can be inconsistent at times, but for the most part, he’s worth a start. This week, he’ll be quarterback Jason Campbell’s top target, as usual, and Gordon should be regarded as a must-start, at least as a WR2 at this point. Start him unless you happen to have some insanely talented wide receivers ahead of him.
