Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II could see a larger role in this rushing attack coming out of the bye week. In Week 11, Gordon rushed the ball nine times for 45 yards and scored a touchdown in the win over the Washington Commanders. The rookie back saw a season-high 39 percent of the offensive snaps during that contest. His nine touches on the ground also tied for the second-most Gordon has seen this season. The rookie back has proven to be a viable option when given the chances in this offense. He could see an expanded role in the offense when the Dolphins take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The 21-year-old could be worth a stash in deep leagues heading into this matchup.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II had one of the better games of his young career in Week 11, recording nine carries for 45 yards and a touchdown against the Washington Commanders. Across 11 games played, Gordon II has now logged 194 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 56 touches. While De'Von Achane is still the star of the Dolphins' backfield, Gordon II has proven he can be productive in a complementary role when Miami is in a favorable game script. The Dolphins enter their Week 12 bye having won three out of their last four games and have a winnable matchup on paper in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints. Gordon II's primary fantasy value remains as a handcuff to Achane, but he could be a deep-league flex option in Week 13 against New Orleans. In fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams where he remains available, Gordon II could be worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Ollie Gordon II had nine carries for 45 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Washington Commanders. He was not targeted in the passing game. The rookie hadn't logged more than two carries in either of his last two games, so it was intriguing to see him take on an expanded workload this Sunday. Gordon and De'Von Achane showed that they can co-exist in this offense, combining for 210 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. Gordon's solid outing could be a sign that he'll earn more opportunities going forward, especially in an offense that typically gets great results from running the ball. He can be a mid-range RB3/flex play in deeper leagues going forward.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has been working through a knee injury and may have lost some playing time as a result. He has been limited in practice leading up to the Dolphins' Week 11 matchup against the Commanders in Madrid, but he does not have an injury designation this week. Last week, when he was listed as questionable, the rookie only played three snaps and had one carry, while Jaylen Wright played 10 snaps and had five carries. The two will continue to back up De'Von Achane, but since Achane is the focus of the offense, the work behind him is very limited. In Week 11, Gordon is the No. 52 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, leaving him buried on the bench or the waiver wire in all but the deepest formats.

Per the team, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II is free of an injury designation ahead of their Week 11 clash with the Washington Commanders in Madrid, Spain. Gordon II has dealt with an ankle injury for a few weeks, but he logged a full session on Friday as the team gears up for their game abroad. The rookie played a season low in snaps last weekend, as his ailment clearly hampered him. However, he should be good to go for his typical allotment in an excellent matchup against a Washington defense that's yielded 134.4 rushing yards per contest (ninth-most). Fantasy managers can expect him to resume his role as the preferred change-of-pace option behind teammate De'Von Achane, although he'll still be a low-floor fantasy asset with the latter dominating backfield touches.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday due to an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 9, according to Travis Wingfield of MiamiDolphins.com. Gordon's ankle definitely played a part in the team's Week 10 upset win over the Buffalo Bills, as he played on just three offensive snaps and saw only one rushing attempt on the day. Meanwhile, Jaylen Wright played 10 snaps and had five carries as the RB2 behind workhorse back De'Von Achane. Before Gordon's ankle injury, he had been the clear backup to Achane over Wright in 2025, but that script has been flipped with Gordon at less than 100% health. Neither Gordon nor Wright has any standalone fantasy value, with Achane rarely coming off the field. Gordon has 41 rushing attempts in his first NFL season for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle), who was considered questionable for Week 10 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, is officially active on Sunday. Gordon suffered an ankle injury in last Thursday night's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but with more time to recover between games, he's ready to roll this weekend. The 21-year-old has been Miami's RB2 so far this year behind bell-cow RB De'Von Achane, which has forced Jaylen Wright down to RB3 duties. In his first nine NFL games, Gordon has had 40 rushing attempts for 122 yards (3.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown while adding six receptions for 30 yards and another TD on eight targets. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder gives the Dolphins a size/speed combination they haven't had in a while, but unless Achane gets hurt, he won't be much more than a handcuff in fantasy.
Nov 9, 2025 12:09 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's divisional showdown with the Bills after being limited in practice all week. The injury occurred last Thursday against Baltimore, but even the extra time hasn't helped him be 100%. He was starting to get more consistent work behind De'Von Achane, including a 10-carry, 46-yard performance in Week 8 against Atlanta. On the season, Gordon II has logged 122 rushing yards and 30 receiving yards while scoring a pair of touchdowns. If he's limited or out, Jaylen Wright would likely take over as Miami's primary backup running back. Even if he's healthy, he'll be a touchdown-dependent flier play behind workhorse De'Von Achane. He's the No. 48 RB this week, so he shouldn't be started in all but the deepest of formats.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to an ankle issue. Gordon injured his ankle during Miami's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Before Week 9, the 21-year-old appeared to be carving out a role in the Dolphins' offense. In Miami's Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Gordon II recorded season-highs in touches (11) and scrimmage yards (66). For the year, Gordon II has logged 152 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 46 touches. If he is sidelined in Week 10, Jaylen Wright would likely take over as Miami's RB2 behind De'Von Achane. Even if Gordon II is active on Sunday, the game script in a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills may make it difficult for Miami to feed him the ball on early downs. The rookie profiles as a deep-league flex option at best in Week 10.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Gordon is currently considered day-to-day after suffering an ankle injury during last Thursday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie back saw a high-season 10 carries during the Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Outside of that, Gordon has played a minimal role in the backfield this season. If he's unable to play, Jaylen Wright would likely take over as the backup to De'Von Achane during the Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle), who suffered an ankle injury in Thursday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, is considered day-to-day with an ankle sprain, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Dolphins have 10 days before their Week 10 divisional contest against the Buffalo Bills, so Gordon "should miss limited time." The 21-year-old was walking without a noticeable limp in the locker room after Thursday's game, but it remains to be seen if he'll be active in Week 10. Before leaving in the first half due to his ankle sprain against Baltimore, Gordon had only two carries while logging 13 offensive snaps. If he is unable to gain clearance to play against Buffalo next week, Jaylen Wright, who was a healthy inactive on Thursday, would be active as the backup to starter De'Von Achane. Gordon hasn't been much more than a handcuff to Achane in fantasy in his first NFL season.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the first half of the Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens and is questionable to return, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. Before leaving the contest to be checked out in the blue medical tent on the sideline, Gordon had only two carries for six yards and caught his lone target for a three-yard pickup. Jaylen Wright was a healthy scratch for this contest, so the Dolphins won't have anyone to back up starter De'Von Achane if Gordon is unable to return in the second half. And if Gordon's injury keeps him out beyond Week 9 -- they don't play again until Sunday, Nov. 9, against the division-rival Buffalo Bills - Wright would move up into the No. 2 role behind Achane in Miami's backfield.

Managers in most standard formats should not start running back Ollie Gordon II when the Miami Dolphins play host to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9. Despite coming off his best game in the NFL with 66 total yards and a touchdown last week, the rookie isn't earning enough touches to be relied upon for fantasy purposes. Stuck behind star running back De'Von Achane, Gordon has not caught more than one pass in a game, and he has earned double-digit carries only once in eight tries, drawing exactly 10 carries last week in the Dolphins' blowout victory against Atlanta. In the RB4 range for this week's matchup, Gordon is mostly a handcuff for Achane as long as the latter is healthy.
Oct 30, 2025 10:15 AM EST
Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II had the most productive game of his career in his team's Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons, recording 66 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 11 touches. His 10 carries against Atlanta marked the first time he has earned double-digit rush attempts in a game this season. If Miami can stay in positive game scripts, Gordon II's ability to be a physical downhill runner could be a good complement to the speed of Dolphins RB1 De'Von Achane. Gordon II also profiles as the clear handcuff in Miami to Achane. The Dolphins have a potentially difficult matchup in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens, who are slowly getting healthier on the defensive side of the ball. Gordon II may not carry standalone value in Week 9, but he's still worth rostering in fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams.
Oct 28, 2025 11:19 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II hasn't been able to break through yet in his rookie season, but he does continue to get some work each week. Coming into Week 8's game against the Falcons, Gordon has played around 25% of snaps over the last few weeks. He has multiple carries in each of the last five weeks, dating back to his one game with a touchdown against the Bills. He has 25 carries over his last five games, but he has only been able to manage 58 rushing yards. He's added a few catches as well, but he only has seven receiving yards all year. Gordon's low volume and the fact that Jaylen Wright is rumored to be more involved this week make Gordon an extremely high-risk play this week. He's the No. 48 RB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, meaning he shouldn't be a starter in most formats even though he does get some work.
Oct 24, 2025 8:20 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II continues to serve as the primary backup for De'Von Achane, but hasn't been involved enough to make him a good fantasy play this week against the Browns. Gordon played 24% of snaps last week against the Chargers but only had two carries for one yard and one catch on one target for one more yard. He has played 14 or 15 snaps in each of the last four weeks, but he hasn't produced over 10 yards in any of those contests. He's only the RB55 in RotoBaller's rankings this week since the Browns have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. The rookie's role looks like it will remain minimal for as long as Achane is healthy.
Oct 17, 2025 8:35 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has played about 25% of snaps in four of his five games, usually logging about 15 snaps per game. He had a season-high nine carries in Week 3 against the Bills, when he scored his only touchdown of the year as well. The last two weeks, though, he hasn't been able to move into a larger role. Last week against the Panthers, he only managed -2 yards on three carries against the Panthers. The rookie does have some potential, but De'Von Achane is dominating the workload and production in the Dolphins' backfield for now. He will likely get some work against the Chargers in Week 6, but as the RB50 in RotoBaller's rankings, he's not a strong play in most leagues since his role has been so limited.
Oct 10, 2025 8:35 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II continues to serve as the team's primary backup for De'Von Achane and a change-of-pace option with a specialty in short-yardage situations. In Week 4, he played 26% of snaps on Monday Night Football against the Jets, taking six carries for 10 rushing yards. He played 25% of snaps in Week 3 as well and seems to be settling into a 75-25 split with Achane. Gordon has the potential to return good value in a favorable matchup against the Panthers, but his usability in a flex spot remains very touchdown dependent. He'll probably get a handful of carries, but he'll need to get into the end zone to really be a strong option. Coming into his matchup in Carolina, he is the RB42 in RotoBaller's rankings for the week, leaving him best suited for the bench in most formats.
Oct 4, 2025 10:36 AM EST
For the second game in a row, Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II was on the field for about a quarter of his team's snaps. Unlike last week, when he was able to make a fantasy contribution with his 4.2 yards per carry and first career touchdown, he was held in check during Monday night's win over the Jets. Gordon turned his six carries into only 10 yards and was unable to secure his only target. Playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league, Gordon still can't be trusted as a flex play, even as bye weeks have arrived. Clearly still viewed as little more than a change of pace back, and without the ability of teammate De'Von Achane to make something out of nothing on his limited carries, fantasy managers starting Gordon will be disappointed anytime he does not fall into the endzone.
Sep 30, 2025 2:43 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II had a good training camp and preseason, but it took until Week 3 for him to really get a chance to shine this season. He'll look to build on his success this week in a favorable Monday Night Football matchup against the Jets, who have allowed three running back touchdowns in three games. Gordon got his first NFL touchdown last week after taking over in the red zone for De'Von Achane on his team's opening drive. He finished with nine carries for 38 yards and a touchdown, after getting only three carries in the first two games of the season. Gordon's physical running style is especially effective between the tackles and in the red zone, making him an excellent complement to Achane. If he is in that role again on Monday, he has touchdown-dependent upside as a flex option. RotoBaller's rankings have Gordon as the No. 46 RB, so he isn't quite a starter yet. However, if he can lock into his change-of-pace role with another strong showing this week, he definitely brings sleeper potential.
