| News for Gordon, Ollie |

Ollie Gordon rushed 19 times for 62 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 8 loss to the Patriots. 2026-11-01 22:00:03 Gordon continues to look like a powerful, capable interior runner, deserving of the Dolphins’ starting role. He, frustratingly, had a 15-yard run erased by a holding penalty and failed to catch his lone target. Gordon celebrated a bit too enthusiastically after a five-yard run on the Dolphins’ seventh drive and was flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The young player was extremely upset about the call and required one-on-one conversations with coach Jeff Haffley, another unidentifiable coaching staff member and Malik Willis before regaining composure. Gordon will likely end up in the mid-to-high RB2 ranks against the Lions next week. |

Ollie Gordon rushed 25 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 7 win over the Jets. 2026-10-25 17:00:03 The Dolphins took an early lead and never looked back, allowing them to lean on their ground game for the better part of four quarters. Gordon, in turn, set new career highs in rushes and yards. In four starts sans De’Von Achane, Gordon has 69 carries for 332 yards and four touchdowns. He has finished as a top-20 fantasy option at his position in all four starts. Gordon’s role on one of the most run-heavy offenses in the league is too good to ignore. He will be in the RB2 mix when the Dolphins take on the Patriots next week. |

Ollie Gordon rushed 18 times for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 5 loss to the Bengals. 2026-10-11 18:00:03 Gordon continued to operate as the Dolphins’ No. 1 running back, scoring a touchdown for the second straight week. He took all of Miami’s red zone backfield touches and was tackled at the one yard line in the third quarter, coming close to his second touchdown of the day. He lost two yards the next play and the Dolphins did not convert. Gordon saw 42 snaps on the day and will be a low-end fantasy RB2 for Week 7 against the Jets after a Week 6 bye week. |

Ollie Gordon rushed nine times for 100 yards and one touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 5 loss to the Vikings. 2026-10-04 22:00:01 Gordon entered the game on the Dolphins’ second drive, generating one yard and two receptions on three touches during that possession. Things improved from there. After letting nominal starting RB Jaylen Wright and Gordon each play their own drives, the Dolphins eventually began rotating them in and out until Gordon separated on the first drive after halftime. Gordon notched three carries in a row, breaking off a 53-yarder on the second one by navigating traffic and making his way to the left sideline, shedding a jersey grab along the way. On the seventh drive, he had what could have been a breakaway touchdown run blown dead by officials, who thought Gordon was down by contact as he stumbled through the box. It was a close call. He then touched the ball on two-of-four plays on the ensuing drive, including a touchdown run up the middle from 12 yards out, in which Gordon acrobatically vaulted over a downed lineman. Tentatively expect Gordon to be the Dolphins’ starter in Week 5 against the Bengals and treat him as an RB2/FLEX. |

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said all running backs on the roster are “going to have their roles.” 2026-09-28 17:00:02 In other words, expect a committee. Ollie Gordon remains the most likely back to chair the committee in the short-term as he’s actually healthy while Jaylen Wright missed last week’s game and has just seven snaps this year in two games while active to Gordon’s 15 in the first two weeks. This all feels a little desperate given how poor the Dolphins have looked, but volume at running back is volume at running back in a year where many RB2 stabs have disappointed early. |
