Ok...now that waivers have processed and he is now officially on several of my extremely deep teams I wanted to post on here to see if anyone else could enlighten me a bit more on this guy. Please remember that I am not suggesting owners who are in 10 or 12 team leagues to even put this guy on their watch list. I am just looking for more info on this guy if anyone can share anything that would be great.
Things that I know.
1) Plays for Cleveland who claimed him on waivers from SF at the cuts this summer. From the way it sounds he was definitely headed to practice squad.
2) He is listed as TE/RB in some of my leagues, but CLE lists him as TE. Chud the TE guru weighs a little extra for me in my thought process here.
3) Cleveland is still offensive skill player deficient and is desperately in need of developing or acquiring better skill players.
4) Plenty of chatter going on about whether Gordon would/could be traded. Would this give him more playing time?
5) Rotoworld..."Gray (6-3, 240) shuttled between wide receiver and quarterback for
Minnesota and is expected to be a developmental H-back or tight end in
the pros. He ran a 4.69 forty with a 1.59 ten-yard split and 30-inch
vertical at the Combine. As a sophomore receiver in 2010, Gray caught 42
passes for 587 yards (14.0 YPR) and five touchdowns."
6) Cleveland is slowly feeding him into the games more and more albeit not great success yet, but are trying to see what he can do bit by bit and that means a lot to me in my 32 team leagues.
7) Possible Wildcat TE/QB? Nah...that is too far, but that would be sweet. Weeden sucks and Campbell is not any better.
I would be breaking about 18 laws, maybe even a dozen if I don't win a trade.

I just finished looking into him a little bit and he looks like a jack of all trades and master of none. He kind of looks like something that Tebow should aspire to be. Out of curiosity, is Mark Harrison (WR, Pats) rostered in your league? Definitely a deep flyer. Currently on the NFI list, but he's a size-speed freak out of Rutgers who could have some value later on. There's a school of thought that he could become the new "move" TE, given his size (6'3", 235). He definitely possesses a skillset that's unique to what the Pats are currently trotting out there and the results of that has definitely not been good of late. Just a player I would rather roster over Gray if he's available.
