Chris Rodriguez Jr. News
Thursday, November 5, 4:37 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has a chance for much more opportunity in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens. Starting back Bhayshul Tuten is currently questionable and hasn't practiced all week. That means whether Tuten plays or not, there is a good chance Rodriguez Jr. gets more volume than usual. He has hovered around just under 10 touches per game this season, but could approach 15 or even 20 this week. The 27-year-old back has been mostly touchdown-dependent this year, with last week's 58 scrimmage yards and a touchdown being his best performance of the season. Rodriguez Jr. should concede passing-down work to LeQuint Allen Jr. or Ameer Abdullah, and the Ravens rank sixth against running backs in fantasy, which both limit his upside. However, his floor is much higher than normal with the potential incoming volume. Fantasy managers should follow injury updates closely, but as of now, it seems Rodriguez Jr. is a reasonable starting option against the Ravens.

Ollie Gordon II News
Sunday, November 8, 12:46 PM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II rushed for 55 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Detroit Lions. He also converted his lone target into a nine-yard reception. For the most part, Gordon has been solid this season while filling in for De'Von Achane (knee). However, he has faltered a little bit lately, posting a modest 14.3 PPR points over his last two games combined. He also carried a four-game touchdown streak into Week 8, but has now gone back-to-back games without a touchdown. In his defense, the 22-year-old has endured some tough matchups against the Patriots and Lions, and his schedule should get easier next week against the Indianapolis Colts, especially if they trade away more players this week. We would expect Gordon to bounce back as a solid RB2 in fantasy football next week, even if his floor is a little lower than it was two weeks ago.
