Ollie Gordon II Looks to Establish a Meaningful Role
Ollie Gordon II had a good training camp and preseason, but it took until Week 3 for him to really get a chance to shine this season. He'll look to build on his success this week in a favorable Monday Night Football matchup against the Jets, who have allowed three running back touchdowns in three games. Gordon got his first NFL touchdown last week after taking over in the red zone for De'Von Achane on his team's opening drive. He finished with nine carries for 38 yards and a touchdown, after getting only three carries in the first two games of the season. Gordon's physical running style is especially effective between the tackles and in the red zone, making him an excellent complement to Achane. If he is in that role again on Monday, he has touchdown-dependent upside as a flex option. RotoBaller's rankings have Gordon as the No. 46 RB, so he isn't quite a starter yet. However, if he can lock into his change-of-pace role with another strong showing this week, he definitely brings sleeper potential.
