Dolphins say Jay Ajayi could push for 350 carries
Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi could see as many as 350 carries this season, according to head coach Adam Gase.
What It Means:
Health and game-flow will also be a factor, but it's a clear indication of how much confidence the Dolphins have in Ajayi to successfully lead their offense. "I'm ready for it," Ajayi said when asked about his feature back usage. "I prepare myself every season to take a huge workload and be able to carry the team, and I think I'm ready for that." The 24-year-old (in June) running back is currently going in the second round of fantasy drafts, and he offers top-ten overall upside.
Ajayi was supremely efficient with his rushing touches in 2016, coming in sixth in Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt among the 42 running backs with at least 100 carries on the year.
