Fantasy football managers face a key running back decision in Week 9 as Miami Dolphins' Ollie Gordon II and Ashton Jeanty draw contrasting matchups. Gordon rushed against the New England Patriots in the Dolphins' recent game, while Jeanty's situation requires separate evaluation.
Start 'Em, Sit 'Em analysis for Week 9 highlights Gordon's opportunity against a Patriots defense that has struggled to contain opposing rushers. Jeanty's outlook depends on his team's offensive scheme and opponent.
Managers should weigh Gordon's recent workload and red-zone usage against Jeanty's potential for explosive plays. Both players offer flex appeal, but Gordon's volume may give him a higher floor in standard leagues.
