DeeJay Dallas News
Tuesday, September 29, 10:13 PM
Minnesota Vikings running back DeeJay Dallas has some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues ahead of Week 4. Dallas is firmly entrenched in the No. 2 role behind Aaron Jones Sr. (knee), but therein lies a potential opportunity for the veteran ball-carrier to take on a bigger workload. Jones has struggled to stay fully healthy in the back half of his career, and Dallas would likely see the biggest bump in volume if Jones were to miss any time due to injury. Although he wouldn't have the backfield all to himself because Demond Claiborne would also rotate in, Dallas would be the biggest riser in this hypothetical scenario where Jones gets hurt while Jordan Mason (thumb) is still on injured reserve. Because of Dallas' handcuff status, the 28-year-old has some waiver wire appeal in very deep fantasy leagues ahead of Week 4.

Ollie Gordon II News
Saturday, October 24, 5:04 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has stepped in as the team's primary running back for the last three games, since a season-ending injury to De'Von Achane (knee). Gordon has run for a touchdown in each of those three games, with 17 carries for 41 yards against the Chiefs, nine carries for 100 yards against the Vikings, and 18 carries for 88 yards against the Bengals. He hasn't been very involved as a receiver out of the backfield in Miami's struggling passing attack, but his work on the ground and role as the lead option make him a strong option to consider as an RB3 or FLEX play in Week 7 against the Jets. Gordon is the RB23 in RotoBaller's rankings, which makes him a good option to slot into lineups against the Jets, who have allowed six RB touchdowns in six games this season.
