Despite Jeff Hafley hyping Ollie Gordon as a potential every-down option, the second-year back is coming off a poor rookie season where he averaged 2.8 Yards Per Carry on 70 carries. Gordon struggled across efficiency metrics, producing 199 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns while ranking near the bottom of the league in yards per touch and yards created per touch, though the sample was relatively tiny.
Zooming out, Gordon has a 2000-plus scrimmage yard season on his college resume and is the rightful favorite to secure the RB2 role behind De’Von Achane. Gordon should continue to outcompete Jaylen Wright in camp and prove his college production can translate to NFL touches. He is RB55 in PlayerProfiler’s industry-best dynasty rankings.
