Dolphins' Jay Ajayi: To see more carries

Ajayi could see as many as 350 rushing attempts in 2017, James Walker of ESPN.com reports. "I'm ready for it," Ajayi said Tuesday. "I prepare myself every season to take a huge workload and be able to carry the team, and I think I'm ready for that."

Analysis:

The Dolphins will hope Ajayi can replicate his Pro Bowl 2016 campaign in which he rushed for 1,272 yards and eight touchdowns on 260 attempts in 15 games. The 23-year-old only started 12 games and didn't catch fire until Week 6, but if he's able to start the season off hot, expect the opportunities to rack up. Based on his yards per carry total from last season (4.9), Ajayi would have exceeded 1,700 yards rushing with a 350-carry workload. It will be up to the young back to prove last year was no fluke, but if he can do so, he'll be a top fantasy commodity.
