Adam Gase Wants Kenyan Drake To Be Bell-Cow Back
6 years agoMiami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase believes in running 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.
