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.

Robbie Ouzts Being Converted To Fullback

Sunday, May 4, 1:08 PM

The Seattle Seahawks are converting rookie fifth-round tight end Robbie Ouzts to a 274-pound fullback as part of their vision for a more physical running game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson. Ouzts will be competing with Brady Russell, who is also making the transition from tight end to fullback this offseason. He worked mostly as a blocker during his four-year college career at Alabama, so it should be a pretty natural transition for Ouzts in Seattle. Ouzts obviously won't be on the fantasy radar at all as a blocker if he's on the field regularly, but this news is good news for the Seahawks' ground attack and starting running back Kenneth Walker III and backup Zach Charbonnet. In 17 games last year, Seattle averaged just 95.7 rushing yards per game, which ranked as the fifth-fewest in the NFL.
