Ollie Gordon II Healthy for Week 1 But in an Uncertain Role

Saturday, September 12, 3:30 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II (rib) was able to shed his non-contact jersey earlier this week and is not on the injury report for his team's Week 1 matchup against the Raiders. While the second-year running back will be available in that favorable matchup, the backfield rotation in Miami under new head coach Jeff Hafley is still a huge unknown. Star running back De'Von Achane will get plenty of work while Jaylen Wright is set to be the primary backup. Gordon brings a different, more physical running style than Wright or Achane, and the second-year back does have potential upside if he gets on the field. Hafley praised Gordon's all-around work early in training camp, and Gordon could mix in enough to be a FLEX play down the road. For Week 1, though, Gordon is only the No. 78 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire until his role is more defined.

Nicholas Singleton News

Nicholas Singleton Won't Make His NFL Debut on Sunday

Sunday, September 13, 8:06 AM

Tennessee Titans running back Nicholas Singleton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the New York Jets. Despite being a Day 3 pick this year, Singleton drew plenty of buzz after the NFL Draft based on his production at Penn State and his role in the Titans' offense. However, fantasy managers should pump the brakes on the excitement, at least for now. The 22-year-old will watch Week 1 from the sideline while Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and Julius Chestnut round out the Titans' backfield. Singleton's next chance to play will come next Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2.
