Kenyan Drake 2018 Outlook
The good news? Damien Williams won't be around to cut into Drake's workload this season. The bad news? Newly-signed veteran Frank Gore will be. Drake (644 yards, 4.8 yards per carry) did what he could to replace Jay Ajayi after a midseason trade last season, but the Dolphins remain convinced that Drake needs help. Even though he improved from his rookie season, there are still some concerns about Drake’s work habits; there is no doubt, however, that Gore knows what sustained success at the pro level requires. Every young player needs a mentor, and Drake will definitely learn from that knowledge if he chooses to. But Gore still has miles left on his legs and it would be surprising if HC Adam Gase doesn't employ a two-back system, making at least some use of his services. As ESPN.com pointed out, Gore has gotten at least five carries in every single game in each of the past seven seasons (112 games). He's going to get some turns in Miami, too. That being said, based on his promising effort last year, Drake is of great interest for our purposes. And even with Gore’s presence, the most likely outcome is Drake retaining the lead role as the season begins.
Kenyan Drake 2017 Outlook
The Dolphins liked some of what they saw from Drake last season, and Adam Gase recently told reporters that he wants to see more. "He had some good days and some bad days," Gase said. "He did a great job when we got him in the game. He made some plays. He's a guy that we're looking to lean on a little bit more (this) year." Gase continued: "We'd like to find some ways to get him and Damien Williams in, but at the same time not take away from Jay [Ajayi]. We have three really talented players at the running back position that we'd like to find ways to get in the game. Kenyan's somebody that we're really interested in trying to find some good matchups for. ..." Drake had just 33 carries for 179 yards last season, good for a robust 5.4 yards per carry average. He caught nine passes for 46 yards and averaged 30.5 yards on 13 kickoff returns, including a touchdown. Damien Williams, however, is also capable of handling the receiving role in addition to being more versatile.
Kenyan Drake 2016 Outlook
The Dolphins drafted Drake in the third round of the NFL Draft, and he's expected to be No. 2 on the depth chart behind Jay Ajayi. In part due to a broken leg (2014) and a broken arm (2015), Drake ran for just 1,495 yards over his four seasons at Alabama. That's 724 less than his college teammate Derrick Henry ran for in 2015 alone. Drake averaged an eye-popping 6.4 yards per carry during that time, however, and caught 46 passes for another 570 yards and four scores. He also showed a knack for the big moment, taking a kickoff 95 yards for a critical touchdown in Alabama's 45-40 win in the 2015 national championship game over Clemson. According to CBSSports.com, while Drake's talent and fit in the offense are undeniable, if his durability issues continue in the NFL, Miami's bold decision to make him the third RB selected this year could come back to haunt them. By the same token, a healthy Drake could push Ajayi for playing time as a rookie, especially on passing downs. Assuming that's the case, Drake will have some value in PPR re-draft leagues. It's something you'll want to watch through training camp and exhibition play.
