Fantasy Football Start Or Sit Week 9: Can Dolphins' Myles Gaskin Finally Be Productive?
(CBS Boston) -- The Miami Dolphins are coming off another AFC East loss in Week 8. Running back Myles Gaskin couldn't find much room to work against the stingy Buffalo Bills defense, amassing just 36 yards on 12 carries and another 19 yards on three catches. That amounted to a measly four fantasy points in a season that has seen Gaskin (and the Dolphins in general) disappoint in most weeks.
Week 9 could be different. The Dolphins host the Houston Texans, who boast one of the NFL's worst defenses. They've given up touchdowns to opposing running backs in six of their last eight games. And Gaskin tends to be productive in fantasy, when he receives a lot of touches. This is shaping up to be one of those games.
