Malcolm Brown 2021 Outlook
According to the Miami Herald, the Dolphins don't care what we think of their obvious need at running back because they believe they've already addressed the issue. And Brown is why. Really. ... "We added Malcolm Brown to the group in free agency, so we've upgraded our roster," GM Chris Grier said. The Dolphins had not previously announced Brown was their big free agency answer, nor had they acted like it. After all, they only signed him to a one-year contract for a modest $1.75 million, making Brown the 31st highest-paid player on the team. And that's without counting incoming rookies such as first-round pick Jaylen Waddle, who will be making more. Remember, Brown was not drafted and signed with the St. Louis Rams in 2015. That didn't stop him from spending six seasons and playing 70 games with the Rams, even after the team moved to Los Angeles. But of his 70 games, he only has two career starts. And of all his NFL seasons, 2020 was his best. He gained 419 yards and averaged 4.1 yards per carry. So Brown averaged a career-high 26.2 rushing yards per game last season. Grier might be excited by Brown’s prospects; fantasy managers should not be.
