Jay Ajayi

Dolphins expected to be without two starters on offensive line

Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey (hip) is listed as doubtful for Week 11 at the Los Angeles Rams.

What It Means:

Pouncey will likely join left tackle Branden Albert (wrist) on the shelf this Sunday, and beat writers feat it will be longer than that. It's a big concern for Jay Ajayi, Ryan Tannehill and the rest of a Miami offense that had really started to get things rolling behind a healthy offensive front. Anthony Steen will replace Pouncey and Laremy Tunsil fills in for Albert at left tackle, forcing Kraig Urbik into the starting lineup at left guard. The Rams and Dolphins both make for attractive defensive streaming options this week, with Jared Goff making his NFL debut for Los Angeles.

The Dolphins are 14th, while the Rams rank 15th, in terms of defensive fantasy options for Week 11. Ajayi is numberFire's seventh-best running back for FanDuel in Week 11.
