Dolphins OC: RB Kenyan Drake hasn't done enough to get more carries

Nov 16, 2017

During today's press conference, Dolphins OC Clyde Christensen said 'no' when asked if Drake had done enough to earn more carries.

Fantasy Impact:

It appears the Kenyan Drake-Damien Williams RBBC in Miami will continue. In the last two games, Drake has carried the ball a combined 16 times for 151 yards (9.4 yards per carry) and 1 touchdown. He's also added 8 catches (on 8 targets) for 45 yards. Williams has rushed for 33 yards on 16 carries (2.4 yards per carry) and has added 8 catches for 67 yards.

Drake has done more with his opportunities but the Dolphins still want Williams involved, which hurts fantasy owners looking for one back to trust in this offense. If you're forced to choose, we have Drake ranked the highest between the two this week versus the Bucs, as he's a top-20 option in both standard and PPR leagues.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
