Dolphins' Jay Ajayi projected for increased receiving work in 2017
Miami Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi is projected to see an increase in receiving volume this season.
What It Means:
Ajayi burst onto the scene last year, racking up 1,272 yards and 8 touchdowns on 260 carries while adding 151 yards on 27 receptions. numberFire's models project him for a slight dip in rushing volume, but an increase in passing-game work.
Ajayi won't start his season until Week 2, as the Dolphins' matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been postponed, but he is our eighth-ranked running back in fantasy this year. We project him to tally 246.1 carries for 1,130.8 yards and 9.0 touchdowns as well as 45.2 receptions for 318.5 yards.
