Tyler Goodson News
Saturday, August 22, 7:21 PM
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Goodson had six carries for 59 yards and a touchdown in the 34-6 preseason victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Goodson scored a 49-yard touchdown on the team's second drive, and the former Colts running back had his "return game" as teammates were penalized for storming the field after the long touchdown run. Goodson served as the team's lead back while star Bijan Robinson and backup Brian Robinson Jr. sat out. Goodson played eight of 11 offensive snaps, while 2025 third-string back Nathan Carter played just three snaps. Though it's a long shot that Goodson will have a role in the 2026 season, any injuries to the two starting backs could elevate him to a starting role this year.

Ollie Gordon II News
Monday, September 7, 5:40 PM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II (ribs) was no longer wearing a red, no-contact jersey in practice on Monday, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Gordon, who is expected to enter the 2026 campaign this weekend as the RB3 in Miami behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, is heading in the right direction to be available for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 13, versus the Las Vegas Raiders on the road. However, with a limited role as the No. 3, fantasy managers cannot legitimately consider Gordon a starter on offense in fantasy lineups. The 22-year-old former sixth-round selection from Oklahoma State carried the ball 70 times for 199 yards (2.8 yards per tote) and three touchdowns in 17 games as a rookie, adding seven catches for 32 yards and one touchdown as a receiver in a rough Miami offense. Gordon is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues and will not become a target off the waiver wire unless one of Achane or Wright misses time with an injury.
