Myles Gaskin

So we cant really believe anything Flores says since he is a Belichick disciple BUT that also leads me to believe he will prefer a RBBC like Belichick does. If gaskin can secure the James White role then he will be fantasy relevant but obviously not a RB1. I think this backfield will be an annoyance for everyone. I have Ahmed and ill keep him if he makes the team but ill never start him unless i absolutely have to.

I was all over Gaskin last year, but sold high at the end of last season. Cashing out on these free pickups is the way to go 9/10 times.

Totally agree.

I think one of the reasons there will be a committee is that none of the backs on Miami have a history of holding up for a full season. I totally get that the Gaskin truthers see his limited action and want to project that over a full season. Sure if he holds up for a full season & gets that consistent volume he has low RB1 potential. It makes a lot more sense for Miami to use different backs with different skills for different roles than try to bellcow one of them and have that guy wear down.

I'm sitting on Gaskin myself. He was a throw in for part of a trade that involved me sending away James Connor mid-season. I tried to move him in the off season but noone wanted to buy, even though he put up crazy good numbers last season during our playoffs.

Then he survived free agency.
Then he survived round 1.
Then he survived round 2 and 3.
Then 4, 5 and 6.

I'm feeling pretty good in holding him atm. Happy noone accepted my trade offers to pluck him from my roster. I know the guy who rejected the idea of taking gaskin from me is sweating now knowing he paid way more for James Robinson instead who didn't survive day 1 of the draft

Is he going to survive Malcolm Brown?

Ahmed looked good, too, both running and receiving. I thought he looked the best out of the 3, actually.

Yeah, Brown is the new Howard. He's not anything more than a minor pain to the other backs when he takes the 1 yard TD plunge.
Ahmed however, sounds like he took a step this year. It'll still likely be Gaskin as the leader of the RBBC to start (not unlike last year), but Ahmed will at least get Breida's 20-25% share, and I think he's a bigger threat than Breida last year to earn more playing time once he gets them.
