NFL:
Alexander Mattison’s neck surgery ends his season. How should fantasy managers re-balance the Dolphins’ backfield projections with Achane, Wright, and Gordon II now?
Qwiket AI:
<p>Mattison’s removal leaves Miami in a near-committee backfield to start the season. Achane likely inherits a wire-to-wire lead role, with Wright and Gordon II mixing in for change-ups and short-yardage. Fantasy managers should push Achane up in dynasty/keeper formats and monitor Wright’s early-season touches as a potential flex/ND handcuff play.</p><p>Depth is the key: Gordon II’s explosiveness could carve out a valuable role in 2025 as the Dolphins balance carries between three or more backs, particularly in early-down work and as a receiver option. Shampklin’s addition may add a late-season spark if injuries mount, but Achane’s rostering becomes the anchor play here.</p>
