Adam Gase Wants Kenyan Drake To Be Bell-Cow Back
Kenyan Drake and wants to keep him heavily involved in the offense on a week-to-week basis. “You’d love to get in that 70-75 plays per game [range] as a unit. If that happens, then you’re looking at hopefully anywhere from 15-20 carries and 6-8 targets," Gase said of Drake. The Dolphins averaged a little over 62 plays in 2017, so the overall play-count total is pretty unrealistic. But this shows that Miami plans to lean heavily on Drake despite the presence of veteran Frank Gore. Drake should be a target as your RB2 in fantasy drafts. Drake is also a pretty solid pass catcher, and the Dolphins have a lot of targets in the passing game available with receiver Jarvis Landry no longer in town.

Kenyan Drake Gets Released
Kenyan Drake has been released by the organization on Friday. Drake was signed to the practice squad over a month ago. However, he only appeared in one game and had one carry in that contest. It doesn't look like the Packers are going to need Drake heading into their upcoming playoff game. The team will move on from Drake and he'll look to catch on as a backup elsewhere this offseason.

Kenyan Drake Elevated From Practice Squad
Kenyan Drake has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is the second week in a row that Drake has been promoted to the active roster. It's worth noting that Drake didn't log in a single snap last week. He was brought up last week because Aaron Jones (knee) was inactive, but Drake never took the field. Now, the Packers might be without both Jones and AJ Dillon (thumb) for Sunday's game. That means, Drake could actually have some streaming appeal if both backs are forced to the sideline.

Packers Add Running Back Kenyan Drake
Kenyan Drake to their practice squad on Tuesday and cut running back James Robinson from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Drake will take Robinson's spot as backfield depth while Aaron Jones (knee) recovers from an MCL sprain that he suffered in Week 11. Jones has missed the last two games and could be unavailable once again on Monday night in Week 14 versus the New York Giants. The 29-year-old Drake played in two games this year with the Baltimore Ravens and had just three touches for 31 total yards. He remains off the fantasy radar while backing up Jones, AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor in his new home.

Kenyan Drake Released From Browns Practice Squad
Kenyan Drake was released by the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday. The 29-year-old signed with Cleveland's practice squad on October 31, but he lasted just under a month with the organization. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed John Kelly Jr., who has been on and off the team's practice squad since 2020. Drake appears to be near the end of his NFL career after stops in Miami, Arizona, Baltimore, and Cleveland.
