Kalen Ballage 2018 Outlook
The Dolphins showed a lot of faith in Kenyan Drake this offseason, and he looks to be the leader of their backfield with veteran Frank Gore also in the mix. But NFL.com believes that fantasy fans in dynasty leagues might still want to keep tabs on how Ballage looks in camp. Gore’s career is definitely winding down, which could open up a chance for Ballage not too far down the line. According to Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman, Ballage's size, strength, speed, and receiving ability entice fantasy owners and teams. He has to work on varying his footwork and recognizing when to do so when reading the blocking scheme and the defensive keys. Beginning his career in a gap-heavy scheme like Miami’s is good because his footwork doesn't need to be as advanced. Ballage could etch out a role in the not too distant future.
