Mark Walton News
The Miami Dolphins waived running back Mark Walton on Tuesday morning. Walton was already suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy, but the Dolphins were, "made aware of a police matter earlier this morning regarding Walton" according to Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier. Kalen Ballage will continue as the lead back for the Dolphins presumably for the rest of the season. Walton, still only 22 years old, may already be running out of chances in the NFL.
Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has been suspended for four games for violating the league's policy for substances of abuse. After their first win of the season, the Dolphins have quickly lost their starting running back for four games and their impressive rookie receiver Preston Williams (knee) for the rest of the year. Walton hasn't been doing much for fantasy owners as the lead back since the team traded Kenyan Drake, but he was worth flex consideration in deeper leagues for his role as the primary back. That role should now fall to Kalen Ballage for the next four games, but he's managed just 70 yards on 35 attempts (2.0 yards per carry) with two touchdowns on the season. Rookies Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin will back him up with Walton suspended.
Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has a shot at having his best game of the season against the Jets on Sunday. Throughout the last two games, Walton is averaging nearly 13 carries, and though he has yet to find the end zone, he will likely continue to be more involved than Kalen Ballage, at least in the interim. New York is allowing a seventh-worst 27.41 fantasy points per game to opposing rushers this season, so if you are desperate for a streamer, the 22-year-old has a slightly higher upside in Week 9 than he has had in previous outings this year.
