Dolphins' Jay Ajayi could near 2,000 all-purpose yards

Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi "could put up 1,900 total yards if he stays healthy," ESPN's James Walker believes.

What It Means:

Projecting him for nearly 1,500 rushing yards is not far-fetched considering Ajayi rumbled for 1,272 yards in 12 starts last season, although three 200-yard games certainly bolstered that count. Ajayi logged just 151 yards through the air last year, so 250 to 350 more receiving yards would be more of a stretch – that said, the back has earned consistent praise for his improvement in the passing game all offseason. Only two running backs managed 1,900 total yards last year -- David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott.

Our models project Ajayi to total 1,131 rushing yards and 8.98 touchdowns on 246 carries, with 45 receptions for 318 receiving yards and 0.56 touchdowns.
