Dolphins RB rushed 25 times for 103 yards and 1 touchdown, leading a clock-draining drive in the fourth quarter that sealed the win against the Jets. The source emphasizes Gordon ran with toughness and attitude, and highlights the closing sequence (14-yard run, 7-yard run, 1-yard run, 1-yard run, 2-yard run on 4th down for first down and victory formation) as evidence of the Dolphins' ability to impose their will and control the line of scrimmage—a blueprint Dolphins fans have long desired.

Since Week 4, Gordon has been the RB12 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.3 touches and 97 total yards. Among 42 qualifying backs, Gordon ranks fourth in explosive run rate, 15th in yards after contact per attempt, and 18th in missed tackle rate. New England has allowed the sixth-highest rushing success rate, fourth-most yards after contact per attempt, and 12th-highest missed tackle rate over their last five games, setting up another strong showing for Gordon this week.

Sustained buy-high recommendation over the past month with strong recent production and volume trajectory. Gordon posted 14.5, 18, 14.8, and 17.3 points over recent weeks, including a career-high 25 carries and 103 rushing yards with a touchdown in the most recent game. The source projects 20 touches per game moving forward for the year-two player in an improving Miami offense with Malik Willis providing mobility to create additional scoring opportunities. Recommended as a trade target worth selling high on other assets like Tony Pollard or Cam Akers to acquire.

I have an updated RB Rushing Efficiency chart (using @​FantasyPtsData) The disparity between the Rams' RB Room/Run Game and the Texans' always blows my mind I think people are still sleeping on Ollie Gordon, even though he has largely been TD-dependent Braelon Allen really has made a compelling case to maintain a significant role in the backfield Jonathan Taylor's lack of efficiency despite having the 9th-highest YBCO/Att feels a little concerning

Gordon has scored a TD every week so far and is locked in for dominant rushing volume, but his lofty snap counts haven't translated into meaningful receiving production to elevate his floor. His 10.7 percent target rate is the lowest among starting RBs and around half the league-wide number (21.0% TPRR) at his position. As a 7.5-point underdog against the defending AFC champs, Gordon can run into trouble in a hurry if the Patriots shut him down early. No opposing RB has reached even 80 rushing yards or 20 PPR points against New England this year.

Ollie Gordon is the clear lead back in the Cardinals backfield and is ranked in B tier for Week 8 vs. the Patriots; he consistently produces explosive plays regardless of opponent, receives a high volume of touches, and commands all goal-line work. The Cardinals are 31st in neutral pass rate (43%), driving additional rushing volume to Gordon. Malik Willis has not been used as a goal-line threat, further consolidating Gordon's red-zone opportunity share.

Gordon has been a focal point of Miami's offense, checking in as RB13 in half PPR points per game on RB9 usage over his last four contests. He has averaged 15.4 half PPR points on 16.0 expected points per game, scoring a touchdown in each outing. His workload climbed to season highs of 25 carries and 103 rushing yards in Week 7 against the Jets, backed by five carries inside the 5-yard line. Targets remain scarce at 2.0 per game, but his heavy workload, fancy run-play staple by OC Bobby Slowik, and underrated OL are enough to trust. The Patriots rank 18th in half PPR points allowed to opposing backfields at 18.4 points per game. Miami leans heavily into the ground game in balanced scripts (31st in neutral pass rate at 43%), though that means running into opponent defenses. The Dolphins are 7.5-point home underdogs with 18.5-point implied team total (25th), the same range Gordon has overcome as starter.

Ranked RB17 for Week 8 vs. NE. Gordon has gone for 55, 100, 88 and 103 total yards with one touchdown in every game the last four weeks and has looked GOOD doing it. Only Kenneth Walker and James Cook have posted higher explosive rush rates than Gordon. The second-year talent also ranked 10th among 39 qualified RBs in tackles avoided per rush. There's a low floor any week he doesn't fall into the end zone due to non-existent receiving work, but it's tough to complain about any running back with 20-plus touch upside during any given week—especially when they're running the rock as well as Gordon.

Gordon forced a career-high 10 missed tackles in Week 7, just the sixth time since 2018 a Dolphins player has reached double digits. He had a career-high 103 rushing yards en route to his 3rd straight game with at least 80 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown, the longest active streak in the NFL. Gordon had 28 of 35 backfield opportunities (80.0%, up from 75.0% in Week 5) on 25 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown and 3 targets. He faced a stacked box (8+ defenders) on 11 carries (tied for second-most by any player this season) but gained just 20 yards; against seven or fewer box defenders, he gained 83 yards on 14 carries with eight successful runs. Gordon had all five of Miami's red-zone carries from the 5 or closer and scored on the next snap after being ruled down at the NYJ 1. He played 54 of 65 snaps (83%). The source says 'Buy Gordon: Owns one of the best schedules ROS for fantasy RBs.'

Ranked 22nd; has scored in every game he has started: 17 carries for 41 yards, 9 carries for 100 yards, 18 carries for 88 yards, and 25 carries for 103 yards. Former Joke Walker Award winner; the source liked him as a prospect despite his poor final season at Oklahoma State, drafting him in rounds 19-20 in best-ball formats and feeling good about that decision. However, Gordon is not working in the passing game at all, and Malik Willis is not a checkdown guy and is dead last in the NFL in the percentage of drop-backs that turn into pass attempts, which limits Gordon's fantasy upside in games where he does not score. The source considers Gordon a potential buy-high candidate; a team with strong early running back picks (e.g., Derrick Henry, Kenneth Walker, Bucky Irving) might trade a wide receiver for Gordon, which the source would be 'pretty fine with.'

Gordon has been a pleasant surprise and proved he can handle 20-plus carries with 25 in Week 7. He averages 4.71 yards per carry, ranks 10th in yards before contact at 2.36, and is fourth in explosive run rate at 16.4%, demonstrating elite efficiency. He has dominated Jaylen Wright in carries 52:17 over three games. Facing the Patriots, who allow 24-plus RB touches and 4.5 receptions per game, Gordon projects as low-end RB2 with high-end FLEX appeal, with potential for significant upside if Miami gets him involved in the passing game.

Gordon continues as a refreshing part of a tough season with aggressive running and fiery temperament; he's currently 19th in rushing yards despite having only 3 carries for 7 yards in the first 2 games. In the 3 games since becoming the primary back, he has averaged 97 yards per game, which if maintained would result in over 1,400 rushing yards for the season. More importantly, he has scored a TD in all 4 games he has been a heavy contributor, putting him on a pace for double-digit TDs and a Pro Bowl pace, though the Dolphins' eventual record will be a deterrent.
