Despite playing a key role for a highly competitive team, Gordon's real-life value continues to outweigh his fantasy value. In the past, managers have been able to get away with drafting him thanks to his total value. However, consistent soft-tissue injuries have limited him to just 87 games over the past two years, including just 36 during the 2025-26 season. When healthy, he averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 100 in standard formats. Gordon will be 31 years of age when the 2026-27 season gets underway, meaning those injuries are likely to be a concern, at least for the foreseeable future. He is still likely going to start, although his exact role could be dependent on whether Denver re-signs Peyton Watson. As for his immediate fantasy outlook, Gordon is not someone who needs to be prioritized, given the fact that his game doesn't translate particularly well. At best, he could be a late-round flyer, but in most cases should be viewed as an elite streaming option.
