Ollie Gordon II News
Wednesday, June 3, 12:28 PM
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II recorded 231 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 77 touches across 17 games as a rookie. After starting the year as the RB2 in Miami behind De'Von Achane, Gordon II gradually lost playing time to Dolphins back Jaylen Wright over the course of the season. While the Dolphins did not make any notable additions to their backfield over the offseason, Gordon II appears likely to enter 2026 third on the team's running back depth chart. Additionally, Miami signed Achane to a four-year, $68 million extension in May, locking him in as a focal point of its offense for the remainder of the decade. Gordon II could still carry some appeal as a handcuff option, but his dynasty stock is falling thanks to the crowded backfield picture in Miami.

Kaleb Johnson News
Wednesday, June 17, 8:58 AM
A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson was unable to carve out a meaningful role in his team's offense as a rookie. Johnson spent the season stuck behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell on the Steelers' running back depth chart and finished the year with just 28 carries across 10 games played. While Gainwell departed Pittsburgh in free agency, the team replaced him with former Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle. As a result, Johnson once again appears likely to be limited to RB3 duties for the Steelers in 2026. However, he'll get a chance to work with a new coaching staff in his second NFL season, which could be the clean slate that Johnson needs to revitalize his pro career. The 22-year-old recorded over 1,500 rushing yards and 23 total touchdowns across 12 games in his final collegiate season at Iowa, so he has some untapped rushing potential. For dynasty managers in the midst of a rebuild, Johnson could be worth targeting as a buy-low trade candidate.
