News: 3 days agoGordon rushed once for eight yards and secured his only target for five yards during Miami's 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Spin: Gordon was again relegated to a minor role behind starting RB De'Von Achane, even with Jaylen Wright (knee) sidelined a second straight week. With Wright seemingly a candidate to suit up Thursday night against the Bills in Week 3, Gordon's path to consistent offensive touches is only going to get cloudier. The rookie sixth-round pick's involvement could ramp up as the season progresses, especially if Miami's season goes completely off the rails, but for now Gordon isn't a consideration for weekly fantasy lineups.

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.
