Salvon Ahmed

Week 3 at Las Vegas Raiders

Salvon Ahmed led Miami in carries last week with six, but he didn't do much with them, finishing with 17 total yards. He also had three targets, but he failed to catch any of them. He now has 45 scrimmage yards through two games, which isn't enough to make him worth fantasy consideration.

Week 17 at Buffalo Bills

Despite some impressive showings as the starter, Salvon Ahmed was an afterthought now that Myles Gaskin has returned. Ahmed carried the ball six times, had just one reception and finished with three total yards. Perhaps even worse than the low production was his low playing time (24% of the offensive snaps). Unless something happens to Gaskin, Ahmed isn't worth fantasy consideration.

Week 12 at New York Jets

UPDATE: Salvon Ahmed has been ruled out.

Myles Gaskin is eligible to come off of IR, but coach Brian Flores has been non-committal about whether he's going to play. If Gaskin does return, then it's hard to see a large role for Salvon Ahmed moving forward. If Gaskin is out, then Ahmed will continue to be a viable RB2 play. Ahmed has performed well in Gaskin's absence, finishing with 74 scrimmage yards last week (12 carries, 43 yards — 5 receptions, 31 yards). Matt Breida's return meant next to nothing as Breida finished the game with two total touches and only seven snaps played. Ahmed will be an RB2 assuming he plays, and Gaskin is out. It's worth noting Ahmed missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury.
