Dolphins Beat: RB Myles Gaskin likely to lead team in touches

Sep 06, 2021

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

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.
