Mark Walton Suspended Four Games
5 years agoMiami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has been suspended for four games for violating the league's policy for substances of abuse. After their first win of the season, the Dolphins have quickly lost their starting running back for four games and their impressive rookie receiver Preston Williams (knee) for the rest of the year. Walton hasn't been doing much for fantasy owners as the lead back since the team traded Kenyan Drake, but he was worth flex consideration in deeper leagues for his role as the primary back. That role should now fall to Kalen Ballage for the next four games, but he's managed just 70 yards on 35 attempts (2.0 yards per carry) with two touchdowns on the season. Rookies Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin will back him up with Walton suspended.
