Should You Start or Sit Ollie Gordon II in Week 7?
Ollie Gordon was clearly frustrated with his -2 yards of offense in Week 5’s loss to the Panthers, so he decided to come out in Week 6 and make things right against the Chargers.
Three touches for two yards.
Phew, now we are back even for the month. I’d hate to have that hovering over the head of the rookie.
Miami has pigeonholed their grinding back into a role that sees him top out at 26.4% of the snaps (Week 5). This offense is loaded with upside, but what little explosion they have comes from De’Von Achane (TD in five of six weeks), thus making it hard to get the sixth-round pick on the field.
If you’ve reserved this spot on your roster for a pure handcuff and there aren’t any other options on the wire, holding out hope for an injury is fine. Outside of that specific situation, there’s no need to continue to roster Gordon: this isn’t the type of offense I want to bank on to bail me out if I’m forced to use my reserves.
