Rasheen Ali News
Saturday, September 19, 11:38 AM
Baltimore Ravens running back Rasheen Ali was active in Week 1, but he never saw the field on offense. Ali played 14 special-teams snaps in the 41-23 win over Indianapolis and did not record a touch. Derrick Henry handled 24 carries, while Justice Hill worked as the clear second back with six carries and one reception. That left nothing for Ali behind them. Baltimore still lists him third on the running back depth chart, and his special-teams standing has slipped too. Ali entered Week 1 as the Ravens' top kick returner, but LaJohntay Wester is now listed first with Ali second. None of that points to a growing fantasy role. Ali remains useful depth for Baltimore, but Week 1 showed a wide gap between him and the two backs ahead of him. Until he gets offensive snaps, there is very little here for fantasy managers to chase.

Ollie Gordon II News
Sunday, October 4, 6:05 PM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II led his team in rushing with nine carries for 100 yards, averaging an impressive 11.1 yards per carry, and a touchdown in a 15-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Gordon's day included a 53-yard rush in the early third quarter. He also had two receptions for zero yards. Gordon played 22 out of 39 offensive snaps (56.4%), compared to fellow tailback Jaylen Wright's 12 snaps (30.77%). Wright, who returned to the lineup after missing Week 3 with a stinger and foot injury rushed five times for just seven yards (1.4 yards per carry) and did not see a target in the passing game. With starting running back De'Von Achane out for the season and on injured reserve due to a torn ACL injury, Gordon and Wright were thrust into larger roles. For Week 4, Gordon earned more snaps and was much more productive than Wright. Gordon will look to continue to ascend in a Week 5 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
