Ollie Gordon: Everything you need to know

Gordon carried the ball nine times for nine yards during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Patriots. He also secured his only target for two yards. Gordon was only slightly less efficient than lead ballcarrier Jaylen Wright (13 carries for 23 yards), as the Dolphins were unable to do anything of note on the ground with De'Von Achane (shoulder) sidelined Week 18. A rookie sixth-round pick, Gordon impressed during the preseason for Miami and kicked off the regular season in the No. 2 role behind Achane, but over the course of the year he fell to the No. 3 spot. Across 17 regular-season appearances, Gordon compiled 70 carries for 199 yards (2.8 YPC) and three scores, while also securing seven of nine targets for 32 yards and a touchdown. He'll figure to spend the offseason again competing with Wright for depth opportunities behind Achane.

Gordon did not log a carry or target during Miami's 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. Gordon has now operated in a clear depth role behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright in three consecutive games, in which span he's combined for minus-one rushing yards on three carries. The rookie sixth-round pick played a career-high 15 snaps on special teams versus Tampa Bay, across which he also logged one assisted tackle. Gordon stands to operate as the Dolphins' third-string running back again during the team's regular-season finale on the road against New England in Week 18.

Gordon carried the ball once for one rushing yard during Sunday's 45-21 loss to the Bengals. Gordon operated as the clear No. 3 man out of the backfield for Miami, while De'Von Achane rushed 15 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and Jaylen Wright logged nine carries for 35 yards and a score. The rookie sixth-round pick has definitively been overtaken by Wright as the top backup to Achane, so he can be expected to remain in the third-string role as the Dolphins close out the 2025 campaign versus Tampa Bay in Week 17 and against the Patriots in Week 18.
