Will Myles Gaskin Make The Dolphins Roster? Is Gaskin Worth Drafting?

Is Myles Gaskin a good fantasy football pick in 2022? Will Gaskin Make The Dolphins Roster? Is Gaskin Worth Drafting?

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was the starter last year. While he averaged 3.5 yards per rushing attempt and 10.2 PPR fantasy points per game, his fantasy value plummeted this offseason.

After hiring former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as their new head coach, the Dolphins signed multiple running backs in free agency. First, they added Chase Edmonds from the Arizona Cardinals. Then the Dolphins signed Raheem Mostert, reuniting him with his former coach.

Miami also signed Sony Michel in early May. However, the Dolphins released him on Monday. After the release of Michel, will Gaskin make the final roster?

Will Myles Gaskin Make The Dolphins Roster?

Gaskin’s chances of making the final roster improved with Michel’s release. However, the Dolphins still could move on from Gaskin. He is in the last year of his rookie contract. Should the Dolphins decide to release him, they will save $2.54 million in salary cap space, according to Over the Cap.

While Edmonds is guaranteed a roster spot, the rest of the backfield is up in the air. Mostert likely makes the final roster, thanks to his history with McDaniel. Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed round out the rest of the depth chart. Unless the Dolphins claim a running back off waivers or add one before the starter of the season, both Gaskin and Ahmed should make the opening day roster.

 

Is Myles Gaskin Worth Drafting?

The former seventh-round pick shouldn’t get drafted in standard-size redraft leagues. Gaskin is buried on the depth chart behind Edmonds and Mostert. Furthermore, the current coaching staff added the two veterans this offseason while they inherited Gaskin. However, Gaskin does belong on your watch list once you’ve concluded your draft.

While he averaged only 10.2 fantasy points per game last season, Gaskin averaged 16.4 fantasy points per game in 2020. He ended the year as the RB28 after playing only 10 games. Yet, Gaskin was the RB10 on a points-per-game basis. Furthermore, he was productive in Miami’s final preseason game.

Gaskin won’t turn into an RB1 in Miami or anywhere else. However, he could have flex appeal in PPR leagues if given the opportunity. He has averaged 0.83 fantasy points per touch the past two years despite only a 3.2% touchdown rate. Whether in Miami or elsewhere, Gaskin could be an injury away from starting again.
