News: 4 days agoGordon rushed nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.

Spin: The rookie served as a highly effective complementary option to De'Von Achane, who led the way with 120 rushing yards on the day. Gordon made solid contributions on a smaller scale, recording a 20-yard run on his way to the second-highest rushing yardage total of his nascent career. Gordon also punched in his second career rush TD on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter, rounding out his fantasy day nicely. Gordon's game-to-game production remains volatile, but he'll draw another favorable matchup in a Week 13 home date with the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30 following a Week 12 bye.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Gordon was selected by Miami in the sixth round of April's draft. He is one of the largest RBs in this class (6-foot-1 and 226 pounds, with a class-high 80-inch wingspan). He had a rough 2024 in tough circumstances (4.63 YPC, third worst in this class), but was much better as a rusher and receiver during a productive 2023 campaign. He's not super-fast or dynamic, but he's young and a solid producer. Gordon will battle Jaylen Wright for No. 2 duties. He's a name to watch, but is a long shot for 2025 fantasy production barring an injury to De'Von Achane.
