The Miami Dolphins will host the New England Patriots in Week 2. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Ollie Gordon II.

Should You Start or Sit Ollie Gordon II in Week 2?
Ollie Gordon’s name was as popular as any in the late stages of draft season, but he was out-snapped at nearly a three-to-one clip in the season opener by De’Von Achane.
We weren’t sure about the health of Achane as Week 1 approached, but once it became clear that he was good to go, a limited role that doesn’t hold standalone value behind him is roughly what we expected.
Things are messy in Miami right now, and that’s exactly why I’d hold Gordon. I’m not sure who is on this team by Halloween if they play like they did on Sunday a few more times, and that could open up opportunities for a handful of new names, Gordon’s being atop that list.
But as things stand right now, you’re talking about a clear backup running back on a team that was lucky to score in Week 1. Gordon is a stash and nothing more.
