PositiveBreakoutOct 28, 2026
Ray Garvin identifies Ollie Gordon as 'cooking right now,' indicating strong recent production and usage trends that suggest emerging fantasy value in the Cardinals backfield.PositiveBreakoutOct 25, 2026
Gordon has looked legit in every one of his starts, including a 25-103-1 performance at the Jets in Week 7; Miami finally got its first win and has been competitive in most of its losses, and Gordon has probably earned set-and-forget RB2 status moving forward.PositiveMatchupOct 23, 2026
Gordon was impressive in his last three outings before the bye, posting 56 yards, 100 yards and 88 yards, respectively, while scoring a touchdown in each game. That production also occurred against three tougher run defenses (Chiefs, Vikings, Bengals). The Jets are the 11th-most generous defense for fantasy RBs, making this his easiest matchup since taking over as starter.NegativeMatchupOct 23, 2026
Miami is an underdog in one of the lowest-total games of the week, creating a concerning game environment. Gordon also has limited receiving involvement, making him vulnerable if the Dolphins fall behind early.PositiveProjectionOct 23, 2026
The source rates Gordon as an aggressive flex option and believes he does not need 25 touches to help fantasy managers. If he receives another 15 to 18 carries, his efficiency and goal-line role give him a chance to finish as an RB2.PositiveMatchupOct 23, 2026
Gordon faces a Jets defense allowing 105.8 rushing yards per game to running backs (sixth-highest in the league) and ranks in the bottom third in adjusted rushing yards allowed. Miami's offensive line has been creating enough room for Gordon to get downhill.PositiveUsageOct 23, 2026
Over his last three games since De'Von Achane's season-ending injury, Gordon has carried the ball 44 times for 229 yards and three touchdowns (5.2 yards per carry). He ran for 100 yards on nine attempts against Minnesota, then received 18 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown against Cincinnati, demonstrating Miami is willing to give him a legitimate lead-back workload.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Ranked inside the Top-25 this week and expected to outperform his ranking in a favorable matchup at NYJ.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Ollie Gordon II is recommended as a start in Week 7 fantasy football, positioned as one of the top start/sit recommendations for the week.PositiveMatchupOct 21, 2026
The Jets rank 11th in half PPR points allowed to RBs at 20.0 per game and show vulnerability to ground-heavy scripts. Kyle Monangai finished RB4 on 146 rushing yards and two TDs in Week 4; Jahmyr Gibbs posted an RB1 finish in Week 3; and Corey Kiner got hot for 57 yards in Week 6. Miami travels as 4.5-point road underdogs with a 17-point implied total (27th) and will likely attempt to set the tone with Gordon runs.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
Gordon has emerged as Miami's primary early-down option, ranking RB13 on RB20 usage over his last three games before the bye. He's been the more effective rusher versus Jaylin Wright and deserves hot-hand treatment. Despite underwhelming quarterback play from Malik Willis, Gordon has posted RB15, RB36, and RB5 overall finishes in usage, logging five carries inside the 5-yard line with three rushing TDs. He's averaging 1.3 receptions per game, so he should not be confused with De'Von Achane.NegativeProjectionOct 21, 2026
Gordon has 59.5 projected total yards against the Jets.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026
Ranked 2nd among running backs in the source's Week 7 trade value chart with a value of 293, positioning him as a high-tier trade asset.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026
Ranked #21 in rest-of-season RB trade value with a HALFPPR value of 29; positioned in the lower tier of running back trade values.PositiveBreakoutOct 13, 2026
Scott Pianowski identified underestimating Ollie Gordon two weeks ago as a notable error, suggesting the running back has emerged as a more valuable asset than initially projected in the 2026 season.PositiveRoleOct 7, 2026
Ollie Gordon II is recommended as a start for Week 5, indicating confidence in his role and production potential.NegativeProjectionOct 7, 2026
Gordon played 60% of snaps after the first drive and finished with 7.6 expected half PPR points (RB36) on nine carries and two receptions, including 100 rushing yards. However, Winks says he didn't do anything overly impressive on tape and the backfield remains up for grabs. Gordon's 65.5 total yards projection in betting markets is way off base; Winks has taken the under himself. The Dolphins project for 18.0 points (28th) at home against Cincinnati, and game script should limit available carries.PositiveValueOct 7, 2026
Ranked 14th among running backs in the source's trade value chart for Week 5, reflecting mid-to-lower-tier fantasy value.PositiveUsageOct 5, 2026
Gordon played 56.4 percent of the Dolphins' snaps and decisively won the touches and routes battle with Jaylen Wright; he contributed three of the Dolphins' longest runs of the season, including a 53-yard rush and 12-yard touchdown. The source notes he continues to capitalize on opportunities created by De'Von Achane's injury and Wright's Week 3 absence.PositiveRoleOct 5, 2026
Gordon decisively won the touches and routes battle with Jaylen Wright in Week 4, playing 56.4 percent of the Dolphins' snaps. He improbably contributed three of the Dolphins' longest runs of the season, including a 53-yard non-scoring rush and a 12-yard touchdown. Gordon continues to take advantage of opportunities despite the Dolphins' struggles.NegativeBustOct 1, 2026
The source cautions that Ollie Gordon II might be a mistake for fantasy, suggesting concerns about his value and performance outlook.NegativeBustOct 1, 2026
The source cautions 'Buyer Beware' on Ollie Gordon II, suggesting he may be a mistake for fantasy purposes and warrants skepticism despite draft capital or expectations.NegativeValueOct 1, 2026
Gordon was the top waiver wire pickup heading into Week 4 after Achane's injury, but the source recommends sitting him against Minnesota due to unfavorable game script; the Dolphins will likely trail a Vikings team that crowds the line and brings pressure, forcing Gordon into pass-protection duty rather than scoring opportunities.NegativeRoleOct 1, 2026
Ollie Gordon is identified as a running back to sit in Week 4, suggesting reduced role, matchup concerns, or other factors that make him a poor fantasy play.NegativeProjectionSep 30, 2026
Gordon is listed in Week 4 rankings at Minnesota.PositiveValueSep 30, 2026
Ranked #25 on the trade value chart for running backs in Week 4 with a value of 10, indicating lower-tier trade asset status.NegativeRoleSep 30, 2026
Ollie Gordon II is set to be the next man up at running back for the Dolphins with De'Von Achane out; however, he will likely see competition for touches from Jaylen Wright (when healthy) and plays for a Miami offense that is averaging a league-low 12 points per game, limiting his upside.NegativeProjectionSep 29, 2026
Ranked No. 38 in Week 4 running back rankings by Daniel Dobish of TheHuddle.com, facing Minnesota.PositiveRoleSep 29, 2026
Gordon will graduate to starter status after Week 4, taking over for De'Von Achane, who will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL. The physical runner, who logged a 1,732-yard, 21-TD season at Oklahoma State, is a must-add player for anyone needing help at RB, as running backs who could be permanent starters are rarely available on the waiver wire. However, he will be hampered by membership in a Miami offense that ranks last in points scored, and while not a complete zero as a receiver, his skills lie primarily in hard running; with Malik Willis likely to scramble under pressure, Gordon should expect few fantasy points through the air.PositiveRoleSep 29, 2026
Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II is stepping into a larger role following De'Von Achane's season-ending knee injury, making him a top Week 4 waiver wire target as the primary replacement option.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Ollie Gordon got the first shot at first-string reps following Achane's injury but wasn't particularly effective, though he did score a TD; he figures to see plenty of touches with Achane done for the year, but the split with Jaylen Wright remains unclear.PositiveRoleSep 28, 2026
Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon (5% rostered) filled in after Achane went down with 20 touches, 65 yards and a score; both Miami backs should be rostered, though neither is worth blowing a huge chunk of FAAB for.NegativeRoleSep 28, 2026
With De'Von Achane out for the season with a torn ACL, Gordon was the next man up on Sunday. However, the source is taking a cautious approach on the Dolphins backfield despite Gordon being ranked as a top-10 overall pickup for Week 4. Gordon is only 4% rostered with a $7 FAB recommendation.PositiveBreakoutSep 27, 2026
Immediately scored a touchdown on one of Miami's best drives in six seasons after Achane's exit in Week 3; finished with 17 carries for 41 yards, 1 TD, 3 catches for 14 yards (13.4 fantasy points). If Achane misses time, Gordon becomes a top Week 4 waiver add with RB3/flex value and upside; would command plenty of snaps/touches despite Dolphins' poor team outlook. Jaylen Wright was inactive and DJ Herman unlikely to receive significant touches.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026
Gordon II is competing with Jarquez Hunter and Jaylen Wright for a practice squad spot with the Dolphins after Hunter was released.NegativeDepth ChartAug 27, 2026
Gordon II is competing for playing time behind Dolphins starter De'Von Achane alongside newly acquired Jarquez Hunter and Jaylen Wright in the Dolphins backfield.PositiveSleeperAug 12, 2026
Ollie Gordon is identified as a sneaky backup RB in Miami's depth chart, suggesting undervalued potential as a secondary running back with opportunity upside.PositiveValueJul 29, 2026
Ollie Gordon II is listed in the Bargain Bin at $1, indicating the source views him as a value pick at that price point.
