Kenyan Drake leads Dolphins with 69 rushing yards on Sunday Night Football
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake rushed 9 times for 69 yards and caught 6 passes (6 targets) for 36 yards against the Oakland Raiders in Week 9 on Sunday Night Football.
What It Means:
Drake lost a fumble in the first half but proved to be the Dolphins' more effective back while splitting backfield work with Damien Williams (7 rushes, 14 yards). The involvement on passing downs was also encouraging and last year's third-round pick also flashed some big-play ability with a 42-yard burst. Expect a similar workload for Drake in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers.
numberFire's models projected Drake for 6.2 FanDuel points in Week 9, but he more than doubled that expectation with 13.4 points.
