He was going to see an increased role on passing downs after proving he was more than capable catching passes last year.
I stated his ankle issues were a little overblown. Then he injuried his hamstring.
If he comes back week 11 and tears it up was I wrong on him?

Barkley is an elite receiver, Gordon is a good receiver, and you passed on them for a guy with a significant injury history
and who was regularly taken off the field on third downs when he
was healthy. So, yes, I think you were wrong and predictably so. (Just based on expected usage patterns Barkley was probably a better pick than Fournette in
standard scoring-- in PPR it's not close.)
