Jacob Saylors Leads Lions in Rushing on Saturday

Sunday, August 24, 9:08 AM

Detroit Lions running back Jacob Saylors recorded nine carries for 32 yards and three receptions for 27 yards in preseason action on Saturday against the Houston Texans. The 24-year-old is a long shot to make the team, but he saw an increased workload in the preseason finale with Detroit's presumed RB4 Sione Vaki (undisclosed) sidelined with an undisclosed injury. Saylors finishes the preseason with 164 yards from scrimmage on 40 total touches. If Vaki's injury leads him to miss the start of the regular season, Saylors could find his way onto the Lions' 53-man roster. Still, he's unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in 2025.

Ollie Gordon II News

Ollie Gordon II Remains a Worthy Dynasty Handcuff Option Entering 2026

Friday, July 24, 7:11 AM

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II recorded 231 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 77 touches across 17 games. Gordon II began the year as Miami's RB2 behind superstar back De'Von Achane. However, he lost touches over the course of the year to fellow Dolphins back Jaylen Wright. Entering training camp, Gordon II and Wright are currently battling for the backup job once again. Gordon II profiles as the more physical runner, but Wright may be the more explosive back in the open field. As long as Achane remains healthy, neither Gordon II nor Wright is likely to have much fantasy value. Still, with the backup job still unsettled, Gordon II remains a worthy dynasty stash for his handcuff upside in Miami.
