Should You Start or Sit Ollie Gordon II in Week 6?
If you were still holding out hope that Ollie Gordon would work into a role that had standalone value, last week should have killed those hopes.
The rookie played just 26.4% of the snaps in a game where the ‘Fins jumped out to a lead against a team struggling at similar levels. Through five weeks, Gordon has run 21 times for 58 yards and has shown very little promise.
He’s thought of as a bruiser (0 or fewer receiving yards in four of five games) and for that skill set to be interesting in our game, he has to be heavily featured. At this point, I’m not positive that Gordon would be a top 20 RB even if De’Von Achane were out of the mix, and that puts him squarely on the chopping block should you run into depth concerns.
