Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake could have bigger role

Sep 19, 2016

Kenyan Drake had few running back reps at Dolphins practice this week, but when Arian Foster injured his groin in the second quarter, and then Jay Ajayi fumbled, Drake became a part of the offensive game plan.

“When my number is called, I just want to make the most of my opportunity,” said Drake, who had 2 rushes and 2 catches for 15 yards and his first career touchdown.

Drake ran around the right end and into the end zone with 6:10 remaining to bring the Dolphins within 31-24.

Fantasy Impact:

Miami ran only 16 times for 70 yards, an average of 4.4 yards per carry, on Sunday. With Foster hurt and quite possibly missing the home opener againt Cleveland, according to the story, and Ajayi still trying to escape Adam Gase’s dog house, an opportunity exists for Drake, the third-rounder out of Alabama.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
