Gordon dazzled last summer and earned attention as a potential Fantasy sleeper, but had one game with more than six carries through the first seven weeks of the season, then had two more the rest of the way. In the event De'Von Achane misses time, Gordon would be helpful for Fantasy, though he'd likely split reps with another running back. That's why Gordon just isn't worth spending a draft pick on.
Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Gordon (ribs) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon recently returned to practice without a non-contact jersey. With his full participation in Wednesday's practice, all signs are pointing toward his availability for Week 1 versus the Raiders. The 22-year-old finished the 2025 campaign by rushing for 199 yards and three touchdowns off 70 carries, adding seven grabs for 32 yards and a touchdown in 17 regular-season appearances. Gordon currently occupies the No. 3 spot on the depth chart behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Ditches non-contact jersey
Rotowire
Gordon (ribs) was able to practice with contact in Monday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon has finally returned to practice without the non-contact jersey. The running back may be ready to go for Miami's Week 1 matchup with the Raiders on Sunday, but he could be held out as a precaution. The second-year pro is set to serve as the No. 3 option behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, meaning the Dolphins arguably have the luxury of giving Gordon an extra week to recover if necessary.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Practicing in non-contact jersey
Rotowire
Gordon (ribs) is practicing in a non-contact jersey Wednesday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
Gordon was injured in the Dolphins' second preseason game and missed the final exhibition contest last week. Across two preseason appearances, Gordon rushed 11 times for 47 yards and caught one of his two targets for 10 yards. He's competing with Jaylen Wright for the backup role behind De'Von Achane this season.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Nursing rib injury
Rotowire
Gordon injured his ribs during the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
The injury is a minor one, as head coach Jeff Hafley relayed Sunday that Gordon would have been cleared to return had it been a regular-season game. Gordon's practice participation over the coming days will be worth monitoring, as it will indicate whether the 2025 sixth-rounder will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons. He is competing against Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Exits game Saturday
Rotowire
Gordon exited Miami's preseason game versus the Giants on Sunday with an undisclosed injury, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon went to the locker room just before halftime, although the nature of his injury is currently unknown. The 22-year-old rushed for eight yards on four carries and caught his only target for an additional 10 yards before leaving the game. Gordon is competing with Jaylen Wright for the top backup role behind De'Von Achane.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Impressive with seven carries
Rotowire
Gordon rushed seven times for 39 yards and didn't bring in his only target in the Dolphins' 20-7 preseason loss to the Commanders on Friday.
Gordon began seeing touches alongside Jaylen Wright during the Dolphins' second possession. The second-year back averaged just 2.8 yards per carry as a rookie in 2025, and Gordon looked particularly impressive Friday while recording nine- and 12-yard runs. He'll continue his battle for the No. 2 running back job with Wright behind De'Von Achane in Miami's second preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 22 at home against the Giants.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: No touches on offense
Rotowire
Gordon did not log a carry or target during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Gordon has now operated in a clear depth role behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright in three consecutive games, in which span he's combined for minus-1 rushing yards on three carries. The rookie sixth-round pick played a career-high 15 snaps on special teams versus Tampa Bay, during which he also logged one assisted tackle. Gordon stands to operate as the Dolphins' third-string running back again during the team's regular-season finale on the road against New England in Week 18.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Only one carry in Week 16 loss
Rotowire
Gordon carried the ball once for one yard during Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Bengals.
Gordon operated as the clear No. 3 man out of the backfield for Miami, while De'Von Achane rushed 15 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and Jaylen Wright logged nine carries for 35 yards and a score. The rookie sixth-round pick has definitively been overtaken by Wright as the top backup to Achane, so he can be expected to remain in the third-string role as the Dolphins close out the 2025 campaign versus Tampa Bay in Week 17 and against the Patriots in Week 18.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Backs up Wright after Achane injury
Rotowire
Gordon rushed five times for 17 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.
Jaylen Wright (24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown) was the primary beneficiary of De'Von Achane's (ribs) second-quarter exit, but Gordon contributed a seven-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. More opportunities could be available for both Wright and Gordon if Achane's sidelined or limited against the Steelers in Week 15. Gordon has scored a rushing touchdown in two of his last three games, but the rookie sixth-round pick hasn't exceeded 46 rushing yards in any game.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon II: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Gordon should be considered the No. 2 running back in Miami behind De'Von Achane, and Gordon is worth stashing in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB. If Achane were to miss any time then Gordon would be at least a flex option in all formats. Now, if Achane were out, we would see Jaylen Wright also have a role in Miami. But Gordon would get the majority of carries, especially near the goal line, and have the most upside in this scenario.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Works alongside Wright
Rotowire
Gordon rushed three times for 10 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.
Gordon logged the same number of carries as fellow reserve running back Jaylen Wright, who managed 16 yards on the ground. Both remain in clear reserve roles behind starter De'Von Achane, who had 22 carries for a whopping 134 yards and one score, but Gordon may be facing actual competition for Wright as the clear No. 2 back in Miami heading into a Week 14 divisional matchup against the Jets.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Gets into end zone in OT win
Rotowire
Gordon rushed nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
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.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Cleared after full practice Friday
Rotowire
Gordon (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Gordon was limited to one touch in Miami's Week 10 win over the Bills while playing through this ankle injury, so it remains to be seen how change-of-pace duties behind lead back De'Von Achane will be distributed between Gordon and Jaylen Wright, though it's encouraging that Gordon practiced without limitations Friday and avoided an injury designation. The Dolphins will face a slumping Commanders team Sunday morning in Madrid.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Limited with ankle injury
Rotowire
Gordon (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon managed to play through his ankle injury during Miami's win over the Bills in Week 10, though he was relegated to the No. 3 backfield role behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. If Gordon is able to upgrade to full practice reps prior to Sunday's matchup against the Commanders in Madrid, he could again overtake Wright for the top backup gig.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Limited in practice again
Rotowire
Gordon (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions after having been forced out of last Thursday's loss to the Ravens early with an ankle injury. If he's able to upgrade to a full practice session Friday, Gordon could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills. Jaylen Wright, who was inactive versus Baltimore, will stand to handle a reserve role behind De'Von Achane if Gordon is inactive or at less than full health Week 10.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Gordon is already handling limited reps after having been forced out of Miami's loss to Baltimore on Thursday due to an ankle injury. The rookie running back is reportedly considered day-to-day, so it wouldn't be out of the question for him to gain clearance in time for Sunday's game against the Bills. Per Furones, he said Wednesday that his ankle is "OK." If Gordon isn't able to play Week 10, however, Jaylen Wright will project to handle No. 2 backfield duties behind De'Von Achane.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Walking without issue
Rotowire
Gordon (ankle) was seen walking around the locker room without crutches after Thursday's loss to the Ravens, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Gordon suffered what looked to be a potentially serious injury late in the second quarter Thursday. He didn't reenter the game, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury, with more details likely to emerge in the coming days. Gordon also will benefit from a few extra days of rest prior to a Week 10 matchup against Buffalo.

Gordon exited Thursday's game against the Ravens and went to the locker room with an apparent lower-body injury, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Gordon was blocking on a play late in the second quarter and was accidentally rolled up on by a Baltimore defender. He briefly went to the blue tent but walked back to the locker room, leaving his ability to return to the game in doubt.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Struggles on ground again
Rotowire
Gordon carried the ball five times for 11 yards during Miami's 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Gordon continues to operate as the Dolphins' clear No. 2 back behind De'Von Achane, a role in which he's logged 28 carries for 70 rushing yards (2.5 YPC) and one touchdown across seven regular-season appearances this year. He's also secured four of six targets for seven yards during that span. The rookie sixth-round pick projects to continue operating ahead of Jaylen Wright, who was active Week 7 but didn't log a carry, versus the Falcons in Week 8.

Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Six carries in Week 4 win
Rotowire
Gordon rushed six times for 10 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night.
Gordon found much less running room than backfield mate De'Von Achane, who picked up 99 yards and scored a touchdown on his 20 totes. Gordon now has single-digit rushing yardage totals in three of his first four games, and although he's earned some short-yardage and red-zone work, he saw Achane cash in on an opportunity in the latter capacity with a nine-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The rookie sixth-round pick's fantasy prospects remain modest heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Panthers that is favorable for ground attacks.
