Ollie Gordon II Questionable to Return With Ankle Injury

Monday, December 15, 9:25 PM

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) is considered questionable to return to Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie back suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter of this contest when he was tackled for a loss in the backfield and got his leg caught awkwardly underneath him. He limped off the field with the help of the training staff. Before exiting, Gordon had rushed the ball twice for no gain. His absence should mean an expanded role for backup Jaylen Wright. Lead back De'Von Achane figures to see a slightly larger role in the backfield as well.

Kaleb Johnson an Afterthought in Steelers' Backfield

Friday, November 28, 11:42 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson won't be on the fantasy radar for this weekend's clash with the visiting Buffalo Bills. The former third-round pick has had a quiet rookie season, amassing 58 yards on 22 carries across seven appearances. At the beginning of the campaign, Johnson appeared to be on his way to playing a sizable snap share in a backfield ripe for the taking. That didn't come to fruition, though, as teammates Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell have formed a formidable duo for the Steelers. Furthermore, opportunities in Pittsburgh are hard to come by, considering the team boasts the third-slowest pace of play (56.7 plays per game). As it stands, the University of Iowa alum is a talented athlete, but his path to playing time -- at least in 2025 -- is less clear than we'd like for fantasy. Either way, he's still a nice stash in dynasty leagues.
