Ollie Gordon II an All-or-Nothing Asset?

Wednesday, September 3, 1:23 PM

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel addressed how rookie running back Ollie Gordon II will be used as a rookie on Wednesday. "I know he'll have zero plays, or all the plays. Zero yards or all the yards, or somewhere in between," McDaniel said. We're not really sure exactly what that means, but Gordon certainly has the potential to make noise in fantasy in his first year in the NFL, mainly because of his speed. Jaylen Wright (leg) is going to miss the first couple weeks of the season, too, which means Gordon will open Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts as the direct change-of-pace option behind De'Von Achane, who missed practice in the final few weeks of training camp due to a calf injury. The Dolphins could take it easy on Achane and give Gordon plenty of run early on, making him a worthile bench stash, even in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Jaydon Blue a Healthy Scratch in Season Opener

Thursday, September 4, 7:05 PM

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue is listed as a healthy scratch for the Week 1 season opener on Thursday night against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, according to Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com. Blue was impressive in training camp and the preseason over the summer before suffering a low-ankle sprain in the preseason finale. The injury cost the 21-year-old some time, but he was a full participant in practice this week, and his absence from the season opener is merely a coach's decision. For now, he's a distant third in Dallas' backfield behind starter Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. Blue figures to play a role a some point in 2025, but right now, he's merely a bench stash for RB depth in fantasy leagues. Dallas could have a tough time running the football on Thursday night against a stout Eagles defensive line.
