Likely to be elevated before Week 1
Gaskin will likely be elevated to the game day roster from the practice squad before Week 1 to serve as Minnesota's kick returner, Will Ragatz of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
The Vikings released Gaskin on Tuesday, leaving only Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler in the backfield on the initial 53-man roster, but later signed him to the practice squad. It sounds like Gaskin will serve as the No. 3 RB but the kick return job could be in flux as the Vikings figure out the position with the new kick return rules. Both the No. 3 RB role and kickoff return job are open after the Vikings surprisingly released Kene Nwangwu.

In a list of five overhyped late-round RB targets, Rico Dowdle is the headlining act as both the most expensive and least useful of the group.

Malik Nabers is an elite wide receiver prospect, but his landing spot was bad enough to delay his full arrival.

Gaskins' drop-off in production has been notable, as he racked up just 26 rushing yards in four games last season after having compiled 972 yards from scrimmage back in 2020. He then re-signed with Miami in the offseason but later ended up in Minnesota after the Dolphins cut him. Gaskin will now compete for a backup role behind Alexander Mattison, joining an inexperienced RB group that also includes Ty Chandler and Kene Nwangwu.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![MIA](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/football/100MIA.png?v=8)
Likely to be cut
Gaskin figures to be released by the Dolphins after the team drafted Devon Achane, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Achane joins Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson at the top of the depth chart at running back, and the trio figures to handle the vast majority of the touches in the Miami backfield. That leaves no role for Gaskin, who also has no guaranteed money left on his contract and would be easy to let go to make room for depth at another position.
