I seriously doubt Tua will run more than Fitz was already running.As a person who picked up Gaskin in almost every league after week 1, I am really interested in the answer to your question.

I traded him for a '21 2nd round pick and felt happy about it. Agree he doesn't seem to be a long term answer.Dynasty PPR, where would you place his value? He is still young, but looks to be pretty average, IMO. He's getting good volume this year, but doesn't seem like anyone expects him to be the long-term answer.
Yep. I didn't pick him up in any dynasties but if I did I'd want to flip immediately for whatever I could get. He is helping me in redraft bigtime but I just don't think he is very good. He has got enough volume that I expected him to make a couple bigger plays by now and he just hasn't. He gets what's blocked that's it.Dynasty PPR, where would you place his value?

I'm assuming it's Lindsey return? I actually think the Fish will be at an advantage with two weeks to prep the Tua offense and take Rams by surprise until adjustments are made. Fish a good first half bet perhaps?Why is Gaskin rated so far ahead of Melvin Gordon this week on FFG? I know Lindsay might cut his role in half, but Gaskin faces the Rams and I just don't expect Miami to do much in their first game with Tua against a good defense (could be wrong). Thoughts, just thought this was interesting (non PPR league).
Myles Gaskin rushed 18 times for 47 yards and one touchdown in the Dolphins' Week 8 win over the Rams.
He added three catches for 16 yards on a team-high six targets in the passing game. Tua Tagovailoa threw the ball just 22 times in his first career start, leaving Gaskin as the engine of the offense. His 21 touches marked the fourth time in the last five games Gaskin has registered 20-plus touches. Gaskin's one-yard touchdown plunge was his second in three games since Jordan Howard was benched and made inactive. Gaskin has settled in as a weekly RB2, but he needs Tagovailoa to play better moving forward. The Dolphins go to Arizona in Week 9.

The Miami Herald reports Myles Gaskin will miss three games with a sprained MCL.
Gaskin will presumably be stashed on injured reserve. The Dolphins acquired Chiefs RB DeAndre Washington out of left field on Tuesday. Now we know why. It's a big blow for the Dolphins, as Gaskin has become their clear-cut lead back, to the point where Jordan Howard has been a healthy scratch. OC Chain Gailey will now be forced to duct tape and glue a backfield together out of Howard, Matt Breida, Patrick Laird and Washington. It's a supremely unimpressive collection of talent. Howard will offer last-ditch RB3/FLEX appeal, though hopefully Breida will be the touch leader. Breida is worth a gander in the majority of leagues where he is on the waiver wire. If Gaskin adheres to his timeline, he will miss games against the Cardinals, Chargers and Broncos before returning in Week 12 against the lowly Jets. However, it's unlikely he will simply slide back into his old role at that point, making him an uncertain hold in 10-12 team leagues.

Traded him for a. 2021 2nd round pick as wellI traded him for a '21 2nd round pick and felt happy about it. Agree he doesn't seem to be a long term answer.
Dolphins placed Myles Gaskin (knee) on injured reserve.
This explains why the team inexplicably swooped in to acquire DeAndre Washington prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. Gaskin handled 64 of Miami's 90 backfield touches the past three games without Jordan Howard — a role that will now be split between Matt Breida, Patrick Laird, Salvon Ahmed and Howard for at least the next three games. Barring any unexpected setbacks, Gaskin is scheduled to return for Week 12 against the Jets.

I guess it depends how Howard/Breida/Washington perform in his absence. I think Washington may actually do reasonably well and force an RBBC.Long Ball Larry said:is he worth keeping in redraft or just drop him?
they are saying minimum of 3 games now and as much as gailey seems to love him, seems like maybe a 10% chance that he could get his volume back at any point this season and that is really what his main value was...
Breida hasn't gotten more than a few touches a game regardless of anyone's health. I'm holding because I have the roster space and RB's are valuable. He could come in handy down the stretch if someone else gets injured. But let's be real. Gaskin never lit the world on fire even when he was the man there, at least in my non PPR league. He was serviceable but that was about it.People still hanging onto Gaskin?
Had picked him up in the hopes that I had a starting RB down the stretch when he's potentially back next week. Great schedule coming up.
That said, looks like Breida is back and Ahmed is in the mix. Could see a three headed committee when he does return.
Have issues. Want to hold but tempted to drop.
If he gets his job back fully he should be a consistent low-end RB2. The match-ups make it even more attractive. Plus I think the Dolphins are running more now with Tua than with Fitz. It's also possible he doesn't come back next week, even if he is eligible. I have him in my IR spot so no problem hanging on to see what happens, but if it's a regular bench spot it's more of a concern.Breida hasn't gotten more than a few touches a game regardless of anyone's health.

Except he doesn't catch. Gaskin still the RB to own in my opinion.I think you have to hope that Ahmed starts to struggle, because one has to think he’s earned at least part of the pie going forward, if not the starting gig outright.
Do we know that or just assume it because he hasn’t been asked to so far?Except he doesn't catch. Gaskin still the RB to own in my opinion.
He caught 5 balls yesterday. So maybe I was wrong.Do we know that or just assume it because he hasn’t been asked to so far?
Ahmed caught 21 passes in a part time role behind Gaskin in 2018. They only had 2 WRs and Drew Sample with more catches that season. That's a pretty decent share for a college RB.He caught 5 balls yesterday. So maybe I was wrong.
Myles Gaskin (knee, I.R.) returned to practice Wednesday.
He was in a red non-contact jersey, but this would seem to open his 21-day window for activation. Gaskin sprained his MCL in Week 8 and has missed the last three games. He's eligible to return at any moment now. Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) missed Dolphins practice Wednesday. We'd guess Gaskin is probably at least another week away.

I'm actually hoping no news today with IR status so others shy away from him. He's a solid RB 2 this week in my book. I had to drop him last week when Andrews went on Covid IR. Arghhhh! Want him back.(Re)Enter Sandman? I can't find reports as to whether he is practicing this week and I need any warm body at RB that I can get. Does anyone have news on him?

-I don't know of him practicing yet and also he is still listed on Injured Reserve, maybe he has been set to come off it? But he still clearly is on injured reserve.He practiced yesterday with some kind of compression sleeve on his knee apparently. However, Amhed practiced as well. D. Washington didn't.
Really need Gaskin this week in my flex. Ideally Ahmed out, but looking like he could be in the mix.
This is from yesterday:-I don't know of him practicing yet and also he is still listed on Injured Reserve, maybe he has been set to come off it? But he still clearly is on injured reserve.
-I did find the blurb about the compression sleeve but let's take a step back...Gaskin is not on the 53-Man roster right now and they don't have to say if he participated at all or to what length or degree as I enter Exhibit "A" as it lists all injured players for both teams this week and to what degree they participated and Gaskin isn't even on this list yet so I don't see him playing in Week 13 vs a team Miami in theory should roll with their eyes closed.
I would be more interested in a 1 week rental of Washington assuming Ahmed is not 100% either.
Or Flores is trying to make it more difficult for the Bengals' DC.If Gaskin hasn’t been activated yet, then clearly Flores isn’t sure he’s ready yet. And against the Bengals, if he plays, he’ll probably be slated for a big workload. Guessing that Flores probably wants to make sure he is up to the task health wise.
Yes - that too.Or Flores is trying to make it more difficult for the Bengals' DC.
That, of course, also makes it more difficult for Gaskin FFB owners.
Flo seems to be a mini BB with regards to disclosing injury updates, and there's no reason to activate him before Saturday since he can practice before being activated. Hopefully he's ready, but not making a roster decision until the last moment is par for the course with Flo.What the hell is Flores waiting for on a Gaskin decision? Strange. Need this guy this week.
DWash and Ahmed look to be out.
Breida could be the last man standing. And of course, I just dropped him.

@CameronWolfe
Brian Flores indicates QB — Tua or Fitz — may be game-time decision. DeAndre Washington, Salvon Ahmed both doubtful for Sunday vs. Bengals. Matt Breida has an illness that forced him to miss practice. There will be a decision this weekend on whether to activate Myles Gaskin.
It's SOP for most teams. No reason to activate the guy before Saturday even if he is absolutely 100%. There's always a chance he gets a different injury before then, and once you've activated him, you're stuck with him, unless you put him on IR again for another 3 weeks.Flo seems to be a mini BB with regards to disclosing injury updates, and there's no reason to activate him before Saturday since he can practice before being activated.
