BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Forget about Jordan Howard. Forget about Matt Breida. Raise your hand to hail Miami Dolphins leading-back Myles Gaskin. Who would have thought... After getting the former two tailbacks this past offseason, Miami is running everything through second-year man Myles Gaskin this season. The Dolphins against the Bills in Week 2, sure, but Gaskin still broke the four-target and seven-rush attempt marks for the second consecutive week.
Gaskin has string back-to-back 10+ PPR games for Miami now. He scored 10.6 against New England and 14.2 this past weekend. He logged a 9-40-0 rushing line in W1 to a 7-46-0 in W2, but he was trusted on the passing game once more with seven targets of which he hauled in six for 36 yards. Gaskin is far from a league winner, but if he can steadily finish inside the 10-to-14 fantasy points clip he will be a very valuable RB2/FLEX to have around.
While Jordan Howard and Matt Breida are getting their fair amount of touches, it's all about the running game for them and even there they trail Gaskin in total rushing attempts so far this season. The passing game is all Gaskin's in this offense, and there is no indication about that changing. The Jaguars are terrible against RBs (26th in point allowed to the position) and have allowed them the third-most receiving yards and a touchdown to rushers through Week 2. Gaskin is still out there available in almost 6 out of 7 leagues. Don't hesitate and roster your new flashy-with-upside FLEX asap.
