Ollie Gordon II Rest-of-Season Outlook
Through 6 games he's RB25 at 10.9 PPR points per game, against 3.2 over 17 games last season (RB67). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Jaylen Wright next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchup is the Bills in Week 11 (3rd against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Gordon's rookie tape was rough on efficiency. Across 17 games on a thin 22.4 percent snap share, he managed 70 carries for 199 yards, a brutal 2.84 yards per carry, plus seven catches for 32 yards, totaling 47.1 fantasy points and an RB71 rank. His -0.165 EPA per play, 16 tackles-for-loss absorbed, and 1.16 yards before contact per attempt point to a runner who struggled to find daylight. The redeeming notes: three rushing touchdowns on six goal-line carries, six broken tackles, and 1.69 yards after contact show short-yardage value.
The role is the problem. In Miami he sits behind explosive lead back De'Von Achane with Jaylen Wright also in the mix, capping Gordon as a goal-line and early-down complement rather than a volume play. His standalone profile is touchdown-dependent with no receiving role to lean on. He is a late-round dart and handcuff stash whose value spikes only if Achane misses time; otherwise leave him benched in redraft.
