The Facts: In an attempt to appease his coaches -- and avoid the prospect of them "hurting" him -- Drake has made a concession: He will be more measured, more disciplined, in deciding whether to take the sure yardage than take a risk to try to make a big play on a rushing attempt.

Diehards Line: Drake on Wednesday was asked about this March comment from Adam Gase: "There's, occasionally, where I want to possibly hurt Drake every once in a while. But he’s my guy. He does so many good things, but he always does one thing, whether it be on or off the field, that'll test me every once in a while. I kind of like it." Drake said he believes Gase was referring, in part, to “those critical spots where on a third down play, I need to be aware of the situation and get the first down. That’s priority number one." Gase said he wants Drake to be “an all-around back. We don’t want him to get stuck in one phase. We’ve got to be ready to go if Jay Ajayi [gets hurt]. Jay takes a lot of hits. They [Drake, Damien Williams] have got to be able to do everything to have two guys backing up Jay who have strength in the passing game but they are good runners” also. Drake averaged 5.4 yards on 33 carries last season and caught nine passes for 46 yards. He also had a 96-yard kick return as a touchdown. And unless something happens to Ajayi, Drake isn't going to be on your fantasy radar.
