My Man... Drake the Snake

[Rtreilly81]

So who else is pumped for this 2018 RB1? I know this guy is. This kid looks like a stud. Ajayi who? Go get drake while the price is still rock bottom.

[BigBawseRoss]

where you playing where his price is rock bottom?

If your league mates read this and this is an attempt to boost his value, you did good. If you're trolling, you did good. If you're serious, you did bad.

The best offer I got for him was Chris Carson and Mack Hollins. That’s pretty pathetic for a guy with back to back stud games

I traded him on November 6th after his first solid game for a 3rd and a 4th....FML.

He looked pretty good last night, but still not ready to call him a RB1 for next year.

I'd be hard pressed to even consider him the starter next year... In 2015 they rolled with Miller. In 2016 with Ajayi. In 2017 again with Ajayi but then jettisoned him off to Philly and moved to Drake. I suspect that his situation right now is more about opportunity than anything and the move from Ajayi was about getting value for him and not current or future plans to roll with Drake. It's possible he starts 2018 as the lead back but I wouldn't say that with any confidence nor do I think the the Dolphins will just sit back this off season and not address the position. I suspect they will draft an incoming rookie with plans to make him the starter at some point during the upcoming season.

This is where I fall. If he was so good then why is it only now that he is preforming. This has situation, not talent written all over it.

Good piece for the playoff run though.

Agreed with both these posts. Will be 0 surprised if Miami takes a 1st or 2nd round RB and prefers to use Drake as a change of pace back next year

Not to mention that Damien Williams had the higher carry count and snap share when he was healthy, though Drake did outperform him generally. Clearly Mia doesn't have confidence in Drake being a lead ball carrier. It probably has to do with his injury history.
