Dolphins could use three-man RB committee

Aug 16, 2021

“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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
