One sportsbook recently released two season-long props: one on Gordon's number of games played, and another on his likelihood of being suspended.
Now another one is getting in on the action with a prop of its own.
How many total receiving yards will Josh Gordon have in the 2018 regular season?
- Over 640.5 (-120)
- Under 640.5 (-120)
The Action Network's Sean Koerner posted the same question on Monday, looking to find the number that would split the vote 50-50. He was pretty darn close.
How many receiving yards will Josh Gordon end with in the 2018 regular season? (currently has 17 rec yds)

As is the case with most props, oddsmakers are probably counting on the over being the more popular bet.
However, according to Koerner, there are just too many variables in play here — basically all of which would have to go right for this over to hit. He calls this under an obvious play, and I've got to agree.
