The Miami Dolphins informed running back Kalen Ballage of his release on Wednesday, according to a source. The 2018 fourth-round pick ran the ball 74 times for just 135 yards last season. That comes out to a putrid 1.8 yards per carry in 2019. With Jordan Howard and Matt Breida set to split carries in Miami's backfield this year, Ballage was simply not needed. The Dolphins also have Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin for running back depth. In his rookie season in 2018, Ballage carried the ball...

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage isn't expected to make the team's final 53-man roster, in the opinion of the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero. The Dolphins signed Jordan Howard in free agency and traded for Matt Breida during the draft. Neither back is the long-term answer, but they both have experience and will have to prove themselves in 2020. Patrick Laird could leapfrog Ballage as the No. 3 in this backfield by the summer. Expect the oft-injured Breida to handle the work on the ...

The Miami Dolphins placed running back Kalen Ballage (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed running back Zach Zenner off waivers from the Cardinals in a corresponding move. With Ballage now out for the final four games, it should be a combination of rookies Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin in Miami's backfield the rest of the way, with Zenner merely providing depth. With the fantasy playoffs kicking off in Week 14 in most leagues, we wouldn't recommend relying on the ...

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage (leg) was carted off the field with a leg injury in Week 13 against the Eagles. It had the looks of a potential season-ender, so brace for the worst if you own Ballage. Miami's lead running back had only three attempts and gained zero yards on the ground before his injury, and he wasn't targeted at all in the passing game. If Ballage misses any time to close out the season, it will likely be some combination of rookies Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin ...

Looking back, it's hard to believe that Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage was being drafted ahead of former Dolphin starter Kenyan Drake coming into this season. Completely ineffective all year, things haven't improved since getting the backfield all to himself following the trade of Drake and the suspension of Mark Walton, who had supplanted Ballage on the depth chart prior to Drake being moved. After rushing for nine yards on nine carries in Week 11, Ballage rushed for 13 yards on ...

With a three-down role all to himself again, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage continued to be irrelevant in both fantasy and real-life on Sunday, putting up just six fantasy points in Miamis 37-20 loss to Buffalo. The fact that he got even six points was miraculous, as they only came due to a three-yard touchdown that he vultured after Devante Parker set the Dolphins up with a 50-yard reception in the first quarter. Ballage finished with a total of just 17 yards on 14 touches, rushing...

With all of his competition for touches being either traded or suspended, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage did little to impress in last week's 16-12 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Rushing for only 43 yards on 20 carries, and having rushed for only 113 yards on the season, Ballage has been a complete disappointment this year but will get an easier matchup in Week 11, as the Buffalo Bills have given up the ninth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2019. Ballage should continue...

With all of his competition for touches being either traded or suspended, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage did little to impress in last week's 16-12 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Rushing for only 43 yards on 20 carries, and having rushed for only 113 yards on the season, Ballage has been a complete disappointment this year but will get an easier matchup in Week 10, as their opponent, the Buffalo Bills, have given up the ninth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2019. ...

Now with the backfield almost completely to himself, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage did little in Miami's 16-12 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, rushing 20 times for just 48 yards. Following the trade of Kenyan Drake and the suspension of Mark Walton, Ballage was virtually the only option out of the backfield for Miami, with just two carries going to backup Jordan Laird. Ballage may have the job to himself for the foreseeable future but Miami continues to be a subpar offense, ...

With all of his competition having been either traded or suspended, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage is officially the lead back headed into a Week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Ballage was a popular sleeper headed into 2019, being drafted around three rounds higher than incumbent starter Kenyan Drake but was a complete disappoint before being eventually passed on the depth chart by Mark Walton. Even though he has just 70 yards rushing in 2019, Ballage is now the only ...
