Unsettled Miami Backfield Currently Led by Mark Walton
5 years agoWhile he may again be the starter against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton will still likely struggle to find success against a Steelers Defense that’s giving up the 12th-fewest points to running backs this season. Walton got the surprise start against Buffalo in Week 7 and dominated deposed starter Kenyan Drake in rushing attempts, finishing with 14 to Drake’s six. Leading the team in rushes didn’t translate to fantasy success for the rookie out of the University of Miami, as Walton finished with just 66 yards rushing and lost eight yards on his only reception. With Drake on the trade block and Kalen Ballage playing just enough to vulture a touchdown in last week’s loss, Walton is simply too big of a risk to take a chance on in Week 8, even if he’s the starting back on the league’s worst offense.
