3 months agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars have signed running back
Myles Gaskin to their practice squad on Tuesday. Gaskin was recently released by the Minnesota Vikings after making five appearances for them this season. He spent most of his time on the practice squad and saw only three carries with the Vikings before getting cut loose. He'll now head to Jacksonville and serve as depth behind
Travis Etienne Jr. and
Tank Bigsby in the backfield. Gaskin is only a few seasons removed from a 600-plus yard campaign, but isn't someone to get excited about right now. This is basically a depth move for the Jaguars, so fantasy managers can ignore this move.

5 months agoThe Minnesota Vikings released running back
Myles Gaskin but have re-signed him to their practice squad. The 27-year-old has spent most of this season on the active roster but offered minimal contributions. He had just 10 scrimmage yards on four touches, plus three kick returns for an additional 60 yards. For obvious reasons, he's off the fantasy radar.

6 months agoMinnesota Vikings running back
Myles Gaskin has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Gaskin is back on the active roster for the second straight week. Last week, Gaskin served as the third string back during the win over the New York Giants. He only played seven snaps and rushed for negative yardage on his lone carry. That being said, Gaskin can be avoided in fantasy formats while
Aaron Jones and
Ty Chandler are healthy. Gaskin has proven to be a viable option during his days with the Miami Dolphins. However, there isn't much of a role for him with two healthy backs ahead of him on the depth chart.

6 months agoThe Minnesota Vikings have elevated running back
Myles Gaskin to the active roster for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Gaskin, who led the team with 128 rushing yards on 27 carries during the preseason and added four receptions for 16 yards, brings valuable experience with 41 NFL games and 17 starts. His impressive performance in training camp caught the coaches' attention, making him an essential depth addition behind
Aaron Jones and
Ty Chandler. Gaskin also returned three kickoffs for 55 yards in the preseason and could be utilized as the Vikings and Giants navigate the new kickoff rules. While Gaskin may not be a fantasy asset this week, it's reassuring to know he will be the next option if anything happens to Jones or Chandler.
