What It Means:

Gaskin told reporters that he is "very thankful that the coaches are putting trust in me, but I think I can do a lot better personally, for myself and for this team. I just need to keep growing, and I think I've been on that path, just kind of learning from my mistakes each week and just trying to get better each and every day, not trying to be complacent at all. I give everything I can to this team and this organization." Gaskins has emerged from a crowded Dolphins backfield as true feature back, heavily involved on the ground and through the air each week. He is averaging 13.6 carries and 4.5 receptions per week, having caught 27 of his 29 targets (93.1%) through 6 weeks. Gaskins and the Dolphins are on bye in Week 7 before a meeting with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8.

Gaskin's Week 8 projection against the Rams includes 65.5 rushing yards, 23.3 receiving yards, 0.78 touchdowns, and 15.1 FanDuel points. He is the RB12 in our rest of season fantasy projections.
