Kenyan Drake In Complicated Situation For Week 2
7 years agoMiami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is in a tough fantasy situation heading into his Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets. Drake has shown that he has the raw talent to be an elite running back, but the Dolphins seem to be rolling out more of a mixed backfield. During Week 1, Drake only had five more touches than veteran running back Frank Gore. Furthermore, numerous reports indicate that Gore is set to be a key asset in the Dolphins offense and that quarterback Ryan Tannehill loves the way the mixed backfield is working. Drake remains an option as an RB 2/3 but likely doesn't have much upside due to limited touches. This early in the season it is tough to tell exactly how Drake's season will unfold, but owners may want to consider selling while his stock is relatively high.

Kenyan Drake Gets Released
1 year agoGreen Bay Packers running back 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
1 year agoGreen Bay Packers running back 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
1 year agoThe Green Bay Packers signed free-agent veteran running back 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
1 year agoVeteran running back 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.
