2026 Season Outlook
A sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft after a very disappointing final season for Oklahoma State, Gordon saw double-digit carries only once in 17 regular-season games for the Dolphins while working behind De'Von Achane and battling Jaylen Wright for the No. 2 role. Gordon's 2.8 yards per carry was partially a product of his short-yardage usage, and his 11.7 carries per broken tackle rate would have ranked in the top 10 in the league if he'd seen enough volume to qualify, not far behind Achane's 10.8 mark and ahead of the likes of Jonathan Taylor (12.0) and Bijan Robinson (13.0). Gordon has a battering-ram build but managed just a 4.61 40-yard time at the combine, and he fits best as a back who can run between the tackles and use his plus vision and power to break into the second level. While Mike McDaniel is gone, new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is an internal hire and Miami's scheme may not change much. As long as Achane stays healthy, though, Gordon's best route to fantasy utility could come at the goal line
