ShuckCreations Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm curious what y'all think. At the beginning of the summer it seemed as though getting Ajayi at the end of the draft was a chance at a sleeper. It seems that his knee injury may be worse than originally let on...that and it seems Miller is getting more praise lately. Is it worth taking a chance on Ajayi still? Thoughts?

Shorttynaz Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'd leave him for someone else - but that's just me. I usually tend to try to stay away from rookies - unless it's someone with high upside and I can get him with one of my last picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShuckCreations Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I don't either but I liked his college tape and thought he had a chance to take over Miller's role. And of course I wouldn't take him unless it was the end of the draft. I wonder at this point if he'll be on the free agency and I can pick up later if things start looking good.

Shorttynaz Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm not so sure he's gonna come in and take Miller's job away. It's been rumored that Miller is getting an increased wworkload this season. He was already a semi stud last season, a very strong RB2, low end RB1 depending on league size. He averaged almost 14 points a game in PPR formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 He's not even close to being the #2. Buried on the depth chart. You can likely get him on waivers around week if you have space 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, peoeple continue to discount/forget Damien Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'canes2004 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 By the time the season starts, he will the #2. Has had a slow camp but the talent is there. His position on the depth charts is more a reflection on him getting used to the NFL and all his responsibilities in the backfield. Remember also that the Dolphins' offensive line isn't exactally their strong point. Also, he has zero chance of subplanting L. Smith as the #1. Smith has had a great camp, really worked his butt off in the off-season and should see an slight increase in touches/yardage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent might be there but if he can't improve his woeful pass protection, no way he unseats Williams as the #2 Btw: who the hell is L.Smith???

Smith, Miller, Brown, Johnson...Could probably make a 52 man squad using just those 4 last names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! See what happens when you type before coffee! L. Miller. Actually L. Smith was a workhorse who we rode to a great over time victory against the Colts. One of my fondest memories of a game I attended. Yeah, like I said he's behind in his blocking assigments/pass proctections. More of a product of the Dolphins woefull offensive line and him getting used to NFL defenses. Didn't see much in the way of pass rush at Boise St. Miller struggled pretty mightily too coming out of college but really worked his butt off to get his blocking/protection scemes over the past year.

'canes2004 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 He's not gone in any of the drafts I have seen in the last week Baring any injury, he won't either. D. Williams still listed as the #2. He's been just average. Ajayi will be #2 at some point and probably by Week 1. Next 2 weeks will clear things up in camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 His camp injury isn't related to the knee, it's a hamstring. And he's been practicing since The knee isn't hurt, it's just a potential degenerative condition that might maybe possibly someday could hypothetically shorten his career.
