What It Means:

Malcolm Brown started the Dolphins' first preseason game and gained 15 total yards on 10 touches and 16 snaps with the first-team offense, compared to 22 yards on five touches and seven first-team snaps for Myles Gaskin. Salvon Ahmed, who only played with the second-string, led the backfield with 71 offensive yards on eight touches. "You saw all three backs played, all three of them got carries," Flores aid. "Pick one out and put them in, basically. We like all three guys. They all do good things. And I think we saw that today. And [we'll] just keep working all three guys." Gaskin's fourth-round ADP could be tough to swallow if the Dolphins stick with their committee approach, while Brown (14.03) and Ahmed (15.05) could be worth a late-round flier.

Gaskin is currently the RB22 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings and our models project him to lead the Dolphins with 249.7 carries and 54.4 targets. Ahmed (RB53) is a distant second with 90.0 carries and 13.8 targets, followed by Brown (RB73) with 52.9 combined projected opportunities. Ahmed and Brown both finished league average last year in Rushing Net Expected Points per carry (0.03). Gaskin, meanwhile, added the eighth-fewest Rushing NEP per carry among 76 backs with at least 50 attempts.
