Ollie Gordon II Fantasy Stats

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II dominated offensive snaps played (43) and touches (18) in a 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5. Gordon rushed 18 times for 88 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown. He was not targeted in the passing game, however. It is clear that the Dolphins see Gordon as their lead tailback with De'Von Achane (knee) on injured reserve and out for the remainder of the season. Fellow tailback Jaylen Wright (foot) entered Week 5 with a questionable tag due to a foot injury and played just nine offensive snaps. Wright rushed six times for 11 yards (1.8 yards per carry). Perhaps Wright's foot issue is the reason why his touches have been limited, but in the two games that Achane has missed, Gordon has carried the ball 27 times for 188 yards (6.96 yards per carry) and scored two touchdowns, while also recording three receptions for 14 yards. Gordon has scored a touchdown in three consecutive games. Meanwhile, Wright has accumulated 11 rushes for just 18 total yards (1.64 yards per carry) over the past two weeks. Wright has not recorded a reception or touchdown in 2026. The Dolphins have a bye week in Week 6, but Gordon offers RB2 or flex appeal moving forward.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has stepped up in a major way for this offense lately. On Sunday, Gordon carried the ball 18 times for 88 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He set a new career-high in rushing attempts and was able to find the end zone to increase his touchdown streak to three games. Gordon did briefly leave the game with an undisclosed injury, but it doesn't sound like anything that is going to impact him going forward. Gordon has run away with the lead back job for the foreseeable future, with De'Von Achane (knee) done for the season. The Dolphins are on a bye in Week 6, but he'll look to continue his success against the New York Jets in Week 7.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has earned consideration as a low-end RB2 or FLEX play against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5, even with Jaylen Wright (foot) active. Gordon's production has been uneven, but he has taken on a larger role since De'Von Achane (knee) suffered a season-ending injury. He carried 17 times for 41 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City, then needed just nine attempts to gain 100 yards and score again at Minnesota. More telling than the yardage was his Week 4 usage: Gordon played 22 offensive snaps to Wright's 12, despite Wright starting the game. The 53-yard run accounted for more than half his rushing total, so expecting another big day on limited carries would be optimistic. Cincinnati has allowed 249 rushing yards over its past two games, although Wright's availability still leaves room for a committee. Ranked RB23 by RotoBaller this week, Gordon is a reasonable low-end RB2 or FLEX starter, with his workload far from guaranteed.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has stepped up the last two weeks after a season-ending injury to De'Von Achane (knee), and the second-year running back has emerged as a starting option in most leagues. He ran for his team's only touchdown in each of the last two weeks, totaling 41 yards on 17 carries against the Chiefs, followed by a 100-yard performance on nine carries against the Vikings last week. Gordon has also caught multiple passes in each of those two games, despite the passing game struggling under QB Malik Willis. Gordon has played the majority of snaps the last two weeks even though he didn't start, and Jaylen Wright (foot) could be ready for a larger part of the workload if he can play through his questionable tag. Gordon has been much more productive than Wright this season, and he should continue to get enough work to be worth considering as a starter this week at home against Cincinnati. RotoBaller ranks Gordon as the No. 23 RB this week, making him a low-end RB2 option or a very strong RB3 to consider in a FLEX spot. If Wright is ruled out, it would make Gordon an even stronger option in Week 5.

A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has spent most of his career to this point in a reserve role. However, with star Dolphins back De'Von Achane (knee) out for the remainder of 2026 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 3, Gordon II could be in position to take over the RB1 role in Miami. Gordon II had a big day in Miami's first full game without Achane in Week 4, recording nine carries for 100 yards and a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. While the Dolphins also gave backfield work to Jaylen Wright (foot) in Week 4, Gordon II was clearly the more productive of the two backs. Heading into Week 5, Wright is battling a foot injury and may not even be active for the Dolphins' upcoming matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. If Gordon II plays well for a second straight week against the Bengals, he could cement himself as the clear lead back for the Dolphins.

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.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II will step into an expanded role in Week 4, and he is definitely a deep-league fantasy option even in a tough matchup with the Vikings. Gordon stepped in last week for De'Von Achane (knee), who was lost for the season. He played 84% of snaps and took 17 carries for 41 rushing yards and a touchdown, while catching all three of his targets for 14 receiving yards. His efficiency was not impressive in the struggling offense, but he should be in a large enough role to be a touchdown-dependent play. He's only a fringe option in standard-sized leagues due to a very tough matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed zero RB touchdowns and the fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position. He will also likely share time with Jaylen Wright, who missed Week 3 with a foot injury. In a tough matchup and an uncertain timeshare, Gordon is the RB36 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, but he definitely has the opportunity to win playing time for the rest of the season in Achane's absence, so stash him on your bench in standard-sized leagues and see how the week plays out.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II could see an expanded workload following the injury to star running back De'Von Achane (knee). Gordon had 17 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown, and added three receptions for 14 yards in the 24-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. After Achane went down with a knee injury and did not return, Gordon took 100% of the backfield touches and played 84% of the snaps, despite missing time throughout the game with cramping. Head coach Jeff Hafley said Achane's injury "does not sound optimistic," which might result in him missing significant time. While Jaylen Wright (neck, foot) did not play and should factor into the rotation if Achane is out, Gordon should be monitored on the waiver wire this week.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II made the most of his increased playing time during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lead back De'Von Achane (knee) was forced to exit early in the first quarter and didn't return. Gordon carried the ball 17 times for 41 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss. He also hauled in three receptions for 14 yards through the air. Afterwards, head coach Jeff Hafley said he wasn't optimistic about Achane. It sounds like Gordon could take over as the lead back for a period of time. The 22-year-old is going to be a popular waiver wire addition this week ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II returned to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs after exiting the game with cramping issues. Gordon led Miami with 14 carries for 37 yards and one rushing touchdown before briefly exiting Sunday's home game. He inherited Miami's top RB role after Jaylen Wright (neck) was ruled out for the day and star back De'Von Achane left the Week 3 contest with a knee injury.
