2025 Fantasy Outlook
A year ago someone might have sooner figured Gordon a first-round pick than a sixth-round pick, but things can change quickly for collegiate running back prospects, especially when their numbers fall like they did for Gordon between 2023 and 2024. The sixth-round pick out of Oklahoma State was a veritable Heisman candidate in 2023, running for 1,732 yards and 21 touchdowns at 6.1 yards per carry, but in 2024 those figures fell to 880 yards and 13 touchdowns at 4.6 yards per carry. Those numbers aren't so bad if you split the difference, but the gap between those two years will always be jarring. At 6-foot-1, 226, Gordon has a somewhat prolonged stride which can trip him up when his offensive line gets caved in, but once he picks up momentum he's a concerning proposition for a squared-up defender. Things broke in his favor in Miami this summer, with Alexander Mattison suffering a season-ending injury and both De'Von Achane (calf) and Jaylen Wright (leg) getting banged up in August. The Dolphins seemingly expect Achane back for Week 1, but Gordon could be the No. 2 running back and take some carries. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins in May of 2025.
Facing early-season opportunity
Gordon looks set for a chance to immediately contribute on offense Week 1 versus the Colts, with De'Von Achane (calf) expected to play but Jaylen Wright (leg) a candidate to miss multiple weeks after undergoing surgery, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Gordon is fresh off an impressive preseason and is currently the only healthy running back on Miami's active roster, though Achane is expected to be ready for Week 1 despite not having practiced since Aug. 16. The team has added a pair of depth backfield options to the practice squad in Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty, but after looking like the Dolphins' best running back in three consecutive preseason games, Gordon should be the favorite to handle any additional available backfield reps Week 1. If Achane ends up limited in practice leading up to the regular-season opener, it's possible Gordon is tasked with a significant workload.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rookie-year impact projected
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com projects Gordon to outpace his sixth-round slotting in April's draft during his rookie campaign.
ANALYSIS
The Oklahoma State product was considered a potential Day 1 pick after a 1,732-yard, 21-touchdown season as a sophomore in 2023, but he slipped considerably after a downturn in his 2024 junior campaign. Nevertheless, Brooks points out Gordon has validated his selection this preseason, earning praise from head coach Mike McDaniel for his eight-carry, 43-yard effort in the preseason finale against the Jaguars. Gordon's bruising running style, which is facilitated by his 6-foot-2, 225-pound frame, and reliable hands stand out, and Jaylen Wright's expected multi-week absence to open the season due to a leg injury leaves Gordon as the No. 2 option on the depth chart for the time being.
