One of the beneficiaries from the Jay Ajayi trade to the Philadelphia Eagles was Dolphin's 2nd year running back from Alabama, Kenyan Drake who saw a sudden surge in usage and touches.

Drake who shares the running game workload for the Dolphins with Damien Williams only had 4 touches and 3 rushing yards in Dolphins' first 6 games of the season as Ajayi had the lion's share of the workload.

But since Ajayi's departure he is averaging 7.6 touches and 39.6 rushing yards per game in his last 5 games. He has also been used in the rushing game by the Dolphins with him averaging 2.4 receptions and 16.4 receiving yards per game.

In week 13 he is in for a heavy workload against the Broncos due to Williams injury against the Patriots in week 12, which leaves him as the only healthy RB on the roster. The Broncos rush defense has been on the down for sometime allowing 84.0 rushing yards per game to the opposition offense in their last 3 games.
