Notes
Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon could face a one-year suspension if he fails another drug test because he has failed two drug tests. His two-game suspension for codeine was his second violation, which means he failed another drug test at some point. Gordon likely has been moved to State 3 of the NFL's drug program, which could lead to a year suspension if he fails another test.

Fantasy Impact: Right.

Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon has been suspended two games for an NFL substance abuse violation. Gordon will also be fined four games pay.
Fantasy Impact: Not good. This certainly puts a damper on his value for the coming year. He is a strike away from a year-long ban, making him a risk for fantasy teams.

Cleveland Browns offensive players have raved about their first impression of OC Norv Turner's scheme. 'Defenses will be shocked to say the least with how much we're running downfield,' WR Josh Gordon said. WR Greg Little said Turner 'calls more post and go routes than I've ever run before.' ESPN Stats and Information cites that the Browns threw the ball 10 yards or fewer downfield on 73.3 percent of their 2012 passes, and 20 yards or more on only 9 percent. QB Brandon Weeden, not the confirmed starter but the presumed leader, is more comfortable out of the shotgun, not the timing-based, three-step-drop setup run by Pat Shurmur last year.
Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon said he likes the offense head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner are bringing to the team because of the passing attack. 'Defenses will be shocked to say the least with how much we're running down field,' Gordon said. 'I've never ran this much as a wide receiver ever in my life, and that's a good thing. And not just me, everyone from the slot guys to running backs, everyone's got passing plays in the system.'
