Dolphins' Jay Ajayi suffers cracked rib in preseason finale

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Jay Ajayi suffered a crack rib during Thursday's preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

What It Means:

Ajayi was playing well on Thursday prior to the injury as he accumulated 66 rushing yards on 9 carries and 37 receiving yards on 2 receptions. He has a chance to be placed on injured reserve. Ajayi is currently slotted as the number four running back on the Dolphins depth chart.

The Dolphins ranked seventh in our schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points metric last season. Our algorithms project Ajayi to finish the year with 314 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 25 receptions, and 174 receiving yards. He is currently a non-factor fantasy asset.
