Player Outlook
In 2020 and 2021, Gaskin was a quality Fantasy running back, but things changed dramatically in 2022. He barely played when healthy, and he was limited to just four games and 14 total touches for the season. He was unable to overcome the roster crunch in Miami following the addition of rookie De'Von Achane to the backfield, and Gaskin did not make the Dolphins' initial 53-man roster. He quickly found a landing spot in Minnesota, where he could eventually challenge for the No. 2 role behind Alexander Mattison. He's best left undrafted in Fantasy leagues but is worth monitoring early in the season to see if he does end up as Mattison's direct backup.

  • Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Back on roster

    Gaskin was signed to the Vikings' 53-man roster Tuesday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Gaskin ended up on Minnesota's practice squad after being let go from the Dolphins, but he was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. However, the 26-year-old did not play a single snap in the game and was reverted to the practice squad Monday. Now, it appears the Washington product will remain a part of the active roster with his next chance to see the field being Thursday against the Eagles.

  • Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Doesn't play Sunday

    Gaskin was active but did not play in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. Gaskin is third on the depth chart at running back but will have a limited depth role barring injuries. He may be moved to the practiced squad if Kene Nwangwu returns from injured reserve from a back injury.

  • Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Up from practice squad

    Minnesota signed Gaskin to its practice squad and elevated him to the active roster Saturday. The 26-year-old back out of Washington was waived by both the Dolphins and Vikings this offseason before agreeing to join Minnesota's practice squad. Gaskin will join Ty Chandler in backing up Alexander Mattison ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

  • Myles Gaskin: Expected to return to Vikings

    Though the Vikings released Gaskin on Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com indicates that the transaction was a procedural move, and the running back is expected to return to the team. Per Seifert, Gaskin is expected to resurface on Minnesota's practice squad and then subsequently is in line to be elevated to the team's active roster. For now, Alexander Mattison and Ty Chandler are the only running backs on the Vikings' 53-man roster, though DeWayne McBride currently is on the practice squad.

  • Myles Gaskin: Cut loose by Minnesota

    The Vikings released Gaskin on Friday. Gaskin lasted only 9-10 days with the Vikings after the Dolphins cut him at the end of the preseason. Minnesota is left with Alexander Mattison and Ty Chandler as the only RBs on the 53-man roster, making rookie DeWayne McBride a strong candidate to come up from the practice squad early in the season, if not for Week 1 against Tampa Bay. Meanwhile, Gaskin could get a shot elsewhere this fall if a team is looking for a veteran back with plenty of experience handling passing downs.

  • Vikings' Myles Gaskin: Links up with Minnesota

    Gaskin agreed to a contact with the Vikings on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Cut by Miami a day earlier, Gaskin lands on his feet with a team that has minimal experience in the backfield behind Alexander Mattison. The Vikings also kept Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu (undisclosed) on their initial 53-man roster, but the latter's presence may be about his special teams prowess than what he can contribute as a running back. Gaskin started 17 of his 27 games for Miami between 2020 and 2021, averaging a 158-598-3 rushing line (3.8 yards per carry) and 45-311-3 receiving line (5.7 yards per target) over that two-season stretch.

  • Myles Gaskin: Cut free by Miami

    The Dolphins cut Gaskin on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Gaskin made 17 starts between the 2020 and 2021 seasons but then got only 11 touches over four games last year and tumbled further down the depth chart this offseason. He spent the preseason working behind Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson (undisclosed), De'Von Achane (shoulder) and Salvon Ahmed (head), and even undrafted rookie Chris Brooks made his case to surpass Gaskin on the depth chart. If Gaskin does get a chance elsewhere this season, it might be as a passing-down back.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Strong showing in preseason loss

    Gaskin carried the ball seven times for 57 yards and caught both his targets for 20 yards in Friday's preseason loss to the Falcons. Rookie De'Von Achane was expected to get a chance to flash his elite speed in the exhibition opener, but instead it was Gaskin who got the start in the backfield, and his experience in coach Mike McDaniels' system showed as he led Miami in rushing yards and scrimmage yards. With Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson (undisclosed) at the top of the depth chart, Gaskin could be fighting with Salvon Ahmed for the fourth and final spot at RB, but his solid performance Friday should keep him firmly ahead.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Back in Miami

    Gaskin agreed Wednesday with the Dolphins on a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Gaskin, who finished the 2022 campaign on injured reserve while he was recovering from an illness, is now presumably healthy and in line to reprise his depth role in a Miami backfield that also includes holdovers Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson and Salvon Ahmed. In four games this past season, Gaskin carried 10 times for 26 yards and caught four passes on six targets into 28 yards.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Placed on IR

    The Dolphins put Gaskin on injured reserve Tuesday. Gaskin was inactive Christmas Day against Green Bay due to an illness, and he'll now miss the remainder of the regular season after going on IR. There's a possibility that he could return for the AFC Championship Game if Miami advances that far, though Gaskin probably wouldn't have a major role in that scenario. He finishes the regular season with just 37 offensive snaps, carrying the ball 10 times for 26 yards and turning four catches on six targets into 28 yards.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Inactive versus Packers

    Gaskin (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers. Given that Gaskin has carried just 10 times for 26 yards through four appearances this season, his absence doesn't have much of a fantasy impact. Salvon Ahmed is on hand to provide backfield support Sunday behind Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Listed as questionable

    Gaskin (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Green Bay, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Gaskin landed on the injury report Friday as a non-participant due to an illness and is considered questionable for the Christmas Day matchup. Jeff Wilson (hip) is also questionable after being limited at practice throughout Week 16 prep, so Miami's backfield depth could be tested against Green Bay. However, Gaskin has rushed only 10 times for 26 yards across 37 offensive snaps in four appearances this season, so his potential absence shouldn't have a major impact on the Dolphins' offensive game plan.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Healthy scratch for Week 14

    Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Gaskin dealt with shoulder and ankle injuries recently but wasn't on the injury report for Sunday's Week 14 tilt. He'll be a healthy scratch against the Chargers, leaving Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson and Salvon Ahmed as the team's three active running backs.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Gaskin (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Gaskin was sidelined for the first two practices of Week 13 prep due to a shoulder injury, but he returned Friday as a limited participant and is officially questionable for Sunday. However, even if he's available, it's unlikely Gaskin garners a substantial offensive role with Raheem Mostert back in the mix following a one-game absence due to a knee issue.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Sidelined again Thursday

    Gaskin (shoulder) was not present for the Dolphins' practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports. Gaskin did not practice for the second day in a row after popping up with a shoulder injury on Wednesday's injury report. The 25-year-old will now have just one more chance to increase his practice activity Week 13, or else he'll likely be sidelined for Sunday's game versus San Francisco. Gaskin has been a healthy scratch most weeks in the Dolphins' crowded running backs room this season, though he saw his highest usage of the year with Raheem Mostert (knee) inactive Week 12. If both backs are unable to play, then Salvon Ahmed would be in line for increased touches versus the 49ers.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Sits out Wednesday's practice

    Gaskin didn't practice Wednesday due to shoulder and ankle injuries, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. With Raheem Mostert (knee) sidelined, Gaskin saw season highs in offensive snaps (24) and rushing attempts (six) during Week 12, but he appears to have picked up a pair of injuries as well. The extent of the shoulder and ankle issues remain unclear, but the backup running back will have two more opportunities to practice before Miami needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Healthy scratch once again

    Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Gaskin will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week since the Dolphins' other running backs are all available. Raheem Mostert, Chase Edmonds and Salvon Ahmed will be available out of the backfield Sunday.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Healthy scratch Week 6

    Gaskin (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Even though he gained 33 yards on seven touches (four carries, three receptions) and played more snaps (13) than No. 2 back Chase Edmonds (nine) in the 40-17 loss to the Jets in Week 5, Gaskin will find himself in street clothes Sunday. The return of Salvon Ahmed from a one-game absence due to a back injury looks like it might have been enough to bump Gaskin to the inactive list. Gaskin is ahead of Ahmed in the pecking order out of the backfield, but Ahmed's ability to contribute on special teams was deemed more useful than having Gaskin on hand as extra depth behind starter Raheem Mostert.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Involved in divisional loss

    Gaskin had four carries for nine yards and caught three of five targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets. Gaskin saw opportunities behind Raheem Mostert after Chase Edmonds presumably was benched due to continued drops, effectively making him Miami's third-down back. It remains to be seen whether Edmonds will be back in the coaching staff's good graces for Week 6's matchup against the Vikings.

  • Dolphins' Myles Gaskin: Buried behind Edmonds and Mostert

    Gaskin did not log an offensive snap during Sunday's 20-7 win over the Patriots. Gaskin was active Week 1, but his involvement versus New England was limited to five snaps on special teams even with Salvon Ahmed (heel) sidelined. With the Dolphins' rushing engine operating efficiently through Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert, Gaskin's only fantasy value at the moment is as an insurance policy.
