2. Miami Dolphins RB Myles Gaskin

Last season, running back Myles Gaskin appeared in 17 games for the Miami Dolphins. He was also a starter for 10 of these contests.

Gaskin ran for 612 yards and three touchdowns on 173 rushes. He added another 234 yards and four touchdowns on 49 receptions. Now, Gaskin has found himself lost within the Dolphins’ depth chart. The running back room has become full, with Chase Edmonds, Sony Michel, and Raheem Mostert all joining the team. Gaskin has become the odd man out.

Gaskin’s ability to be effective in both the run game and passing game could make him a solid piece for this Giants offense. He could potentially be an improvement over current RB2 Matt Breida and he is still just 25 years old.

While the Dolphins have added wide receiver Tyreek Hill to play alongside Jaylen Waddle, the rest of the wide receiver depth is questionable. Slayton could come in and compete for a starting spot from day one.
