Scored 18 PPR points in Week 4 but JJ Zachariason recommends selling despite the performance. Gordon had a 60% snap share, 50% rush share, and 45% route share—decent but not elite usage layered on top of Miami's historically bad offense (just 4 offensive touchdowns in 4 games). Expected fantasy points model pegged Gordon for only 6.9 expected PPR points in Week 4; he outpaced that due to a 53-yard run and 12-yard rushing touchdown. This kind of usage in this offense won't sustain scoring opportunities despite Miami's favorable upcoming schedule.NegativeUsageOct 3, 2026
Gordon is positioned in the bottom-left quadrant of the efficiency chart (low 10+ yard run rate, low success rate), indicating he has not been explosive and has struggled with success rate; he's among the 'scary guys' who have not played well this year in terms of efficiency.NegativeValueOct 3, 2026
Ollie Gordon was available on waivers and considered as a pickup option on Sunday morning, competing with Kendall Milton for a roster spot. This reflects the unpredictability of waiver availability and the potential for breakout players to emerge from free agency.NegativeValueOct 3, 2026
JJ Zachariason was low on Ollie Gordon's waiver wire value at the start of the week, bidding equally for Gordon and Jalen Wright; he views both as RB4s in a split backfield on a Dolphins team with a 14-point implied total and poor scoring prospects, making them not league-winning enough to justify high bids despite some desperate teams spending 70% FAAB.NegativeValueOct 3, 2026
In JJ's home league, Ollie Gordon went for the full $100 budget after Devon Henry went down. JJ and league mates poked fun at the spend, suggesting Gordon is likely overvalued. Gordon is expected to be in a split backfield with Jalen Wright against inferior talent in a bad offense, making the full-budget spend a poor value.NegativeBustOct 2, 2026
Gordon is averaging less than three yards per carry and is not a viable fantasy option. JJ Zachariason has a hard time believing either Gordon or Jalen Wright will be as productive as Devonte Henry, who didn't score 13 PPR points in any game this year. The Dolphins have played only 26 snaps where they're not down by seven or more points, and they've been inside the five-yard line twice, which disqualifies Gordon from meaningful opportunity.
