Ajayi's role in the Miami offense is poised to expand this coming season, following the free agent departure of Lamar Miller.

Analysis:

While the Dolphins could still add running back depth through the draft or in free agency, Miller's departure paves the way for Ajayi, who was drafted by Miami 149th overall in 2015, to potentially head the team's rushing attack in 2016. As a rookie, Ajayi wound up with 49 carries for 187 yards and a TD in nine games, while adding seven catches for 90 yards in that span.
