Bummer for Lindsay after making a good impression in his Dolphins debut. Gaskin is the clear lead back for another week.

Myles Gaskin has improved into a trusted pass blocker, Brian Flores indicates. He also has a very professional approach. For fantasy, this tells me Gaskin still most likely to lead in snaps and touches.

When the Dolphins didn't do much to improve their RB room in the NFL Draft, attention immediately turned back to Gaskin. But throughout camp the Dolphins have indicated this was going to be a committee situation, and there was a lot of buzz when Brown started a preseason game and outsnapped Gaskin. But this is at least encouraging news to see Gaskin has improved in the pass blocking area and it could mean he stays on the field more in those situations.

“Pick one and put them in. We like all three guys. They do some things,” HC Brian Flores on his thought process for the backs rotation.

Twitter was buzzing during the Dolphins game as Brown got the start and a majority of the touches. Beat writers pointed out that while Brown has had a good camp, Gaskin has been just as good, if not better, according to those reporters. The Dolphins were rumored to draft or bring in a bigger name at the position, but that didn't happen and the hope by many would be that Gaskin would be the lead back. That could still happen, but at least for now, there is some coach-speak that the team likes all of their backs.

Dolphins RB Malcolm Brown started over Myles Gaskin in Miami's first preseason game. He finished with 16 snaps yielding an unimpressive nine carries for eight yards. Gaskin saw seven snaps resulting in six touches for 28 yards.

Myles Gaskin is being drafted as RB21 (half-PPR) while Malcolm Brown is sitting at RB51. This is a backfield to monitor as early reports suggest the Dolphins favor Brown as their starting running back and today's preseason game supports this outlook.

Myles Gaskin said the Miami Dolphins' offensive playbook "is much different than last year."

Myles Gaskin escaped the NFL Draft without much competition and is in line for a decent workload in 2021. He's currently ranked as RB21 in 4for4's rankings (.5 PPR)

The Dolphins activated running back Myles Gaskin from the Reserve/COVID list Wednesday and he participated in practice.

Gaskin looks poised to return in Week 16 and reclaim his role at the head of the Miami backfield after missing two games on the COVID list. Gaskin's return will relegate Salvon Ahmed back to fantasy benches or the waiver wire. Gaskin projects as a solid RB2 against Las Vegas in Week 16.
