Kenyan Drake Expected To See Plenty Of Touches
5 years agoMiami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (foot) is expected to play in Week 1 against the Ravens and get plenty of touches. "We're looking forward to giving him a lot of touches this week," head coach Brian Flores said on Wednesday. Drake will open the season well ahead of Kalen Ballage for the lead-back role, and the Dolphins would be smart to keep it that way all year as long as Drake is healthy. Even with an expected heavy workload this Sunday, though, Drake is more of an RB3/flex while going up against a defense that was extremely stingy against the run in 2018.
