Josh Gordon has officially been activated to the Cleveland Browns roster and will be available this weekend to get into action. The Browns will be facing the “first place” Atlanta Falcons this weekend. The Falcons are in first place in their division, but they have a 4-6 record and have struggled this year.

The Browns need wins. The AFC North is competitive. Every team in the division has a winning record and the Browns are at the bottom of the division with a 6-4 record. They can get to the top of the division in a flash. They just need to get back in the winning column.
Gordon will be a huge boost to the team. When you can add someone that has the potential to be the best wide receiver in the league in the middle of the season, things are looking up. Gordon dominated the league last season. He did everything that was asked of him and now gets the chance to fight for the top spot in the division.
If I were the Browns, I would try to get him involved early and see if he can build on top of that performance. Endurance would be a question coming back to the field, but if he is able to make his impact early then the team can just ride from the wave.
