Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A native of Canada, Messam became last season the first Canadian player to rush for more than 1,000 yards since 2000, and he received the CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian Award in 2011. At 6-3 and 245 pounds, Messam brings a bruising, between-the-tackles option to the Dolphins. He's also had a string of off-field problems and once broke a teammate's jaw in a fistfight. If he can stay out of trouble, he'd appear to have a good chance of making the Dolphins' roster and becoming a contributor to their offense. If he does, he could cut into Reggie Bush's touches.
