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.

Rookie Jam Miller Competing for a Backup Role in New England

Monday, July 20, 8:58 AM

New England Patriots rookie running back Jam Miller will be competing for a backup role behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson in 2026 after he was selected in the seventh round in April out of the University of Alabama, according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com. New England doesn't have a clear-cut RB3 on its roster like they did last summer with veteran Antonio Gibson. Lazar suggests it will be a four-man competition between Miller, Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison, and undrafted rookie Myles Montgomery for what will likely be one spot on the 53-man roster. Miller is a compact runner with good straight-line speed, and his experience as a core special-teamer early in his career at Alabama should help his cause. His best path to playing time as a rookie with the Patriots will be if Stevenson misses time due to an injury, so Miller can be avoided in redraft fantasy leagues in 2026. In dynasty/keeper formats, Miller is strictly a stash candidate in his first year if you have either Henderson or Stevenson rostered.
