Ravens | Kenyan Drake back with Ravens Wed Sep 20, 02:00 PM
Free-agent RB Kenyan Drake (Colts) signed to the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad on Wednesday, Sept. 20.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens are looking for more help in the backfield, and that's why Drake is there on the practice squad. He's unlikely to do much unless more backs above him on the depth chart get banged up. Justice Hill and Gus Edwards are there to do the heavy lifting in the Ravens' backfield. Owen Wright and Melvin Gordon are also on the team's practice squad. |

Colts | Kenyan Drake released Sun Aug 27, 11:34 AM
The Indianapolis Colts released RB Kenyan Drake Sunday, Aug. 27, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: There was some thought that Drake could figure into a backfield that might lose Jonathan Taylor to trade and possibly miss Zack Moss at the beginning of the season with a broken forearm, but the team opted not to keep his veteran presence. They did have Kareem Hunt in for a visit earlier in the preseason, so we'll keep tabs on that interest if Taylor is dealt before the team's self-imposed Tuesday deadline for a trade. |

Colts | Three RBs worked out Thu Aug 3, 12:57 PM
Free-agent RB Kenyan Drake (Ravens), RB Benny Snell (Steelers) and RB Devine Ozigbo (Broncos) recently worked out for the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: The Colts are updating their files just in case they end up needing a running back or two. The plan is for Jonathan Taylor to play for the team in 2023, but if Taylor feels like the relationship is beyond repair, then that could change. That the Colts haven't worked out Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette, or Kareem Hunt is a sign that they aren't seriously planning to be without Taylor this year... yet. |

Ravens | Kenyan Drake joins Baltimore Wed Aug 31, 04:46 PM
Free-agent RB Kenyan Drake (Raiders) signed with the Baltimore Ravens Wednesday, Aug. 31. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Drake goes to a team in need of running back help with J.K. Dobbins still coming back from the knee injury that knocked him out of the entire 2021 season. Fantasy GMs can stash Drake in deep bench leagues, especially in PPR formats because he's such a good receiver out of the backfield. |

Raiders | Kenyan Drake likely done in Vegas Mon Aug 22, 04:10 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Kenyan Drake is expected to be released in the coming days, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders really have a plan for rookie RB Zamir White, even though Josh Jacobs is the starter for now. Drake could serve as a change-of-pace back for many teams out there if he ends up getting released. Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden fill out the running back room for the Raiders. We like the idea of taking Abdullah in PPR formats, but only super late and only in deep leagues. |

Raiders | RBBC in Las Vegas? Fri Jul 22, 12:30 PM
The Las Vegas Raiders may be heading toward a running-back-by-committee philosophy under new head coach Josh McDaniels, in the opinion of Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports. 'Health permitting, running back is going to be exactly what you'd think. It will end up being a situational committee and I wouldn't be surprised to see the position get entirely revamped next offseason. If you hate how the [Patriots] use backs, look away. It will be similar,' Robinson tweeted Friday, July 22.
| Footballguys view: Damien Harris is still going well after Josh Jacobs, and that's the player whose role Jacobs would get in a Patriots style approach. His ADP may drop further on this news out of camp from Robinson, who is one of the most connected national insiders on the NFL beat. |

Raiders | Las Vegas OK's two for camp Thu Jul 21, 01:03 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Kenyan Drake (ankle) and OL Denzelle Good (knee) were recently cleared for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Drake is there to be the pass-catching back behind starter Josh Jacobs. He's got deep flex appeal in PPR formats, but both Jacobs and Drake could be pushed by rookie Zamir White for playing time. Let's see how this backfield shapes up in training camp. |

Raiders | Kenyan Drake will be limited Mon Jul 18, 10:44 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Kenyan Drake (ankle) will be ready for training camp, but he won't be 100 percent.
| Footballguys view: Drake is going to mix in with Josh Jacobs this year. He broke his ankle last year in December and has been recovering ever since. Drake will be pushed by rookie Zamir White this year, and we may not see the veteran much in the preseason. Fantasy GMs can consider Drake as a late-round pick if he does keep that no.2 spot on the depth chart. |

Raiders | Kenyan Drake still hasn't been cleared Sat Jun 25, 07:21 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Kenyan Drake (ankle) has not been cleared for mandatory minicamp, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur.
| Footballguys view: Broken ankles can be tricky. With this development in mind, Drake probably had a serious ankle surgery to still be waiting for clearance to play six months later. This is no big deal as long as he doesn't start camp on the PUP list, but if he does, the team has Ameer Abdullah as potential passing down back, and Josh Jacobs can also be a three-down back - but he wasn't able to practice in OTAs earlier this month. |

Raiders | RB Drake Still Recovering Sat Jun 25, 03:27 PM
Vic Tafur, from The Athletic, reports Las Vegas Raiders RB Kenyan Drake (ankle) was not cleared for mandatory minicamp in June.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders are likely to move to a RBBC this year, perhaps featuring three running backs, when Drake is healthy. Josh Jacobs is the lead back, likely in his last year with the Raiders. Drake is there to work in space as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Rookie Zamir White is impressing in offseason camp and could earn a larger role as the season goes on. White will push Drake for time and perhaps get a head start as Drake may not be ready for the start of training camp. |

Raiders | Jacobs missing minicamp practices Sun Jun 12, 11:02 AM
Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that while RB Josh Jacobs has missed Raiders minicamp programs, he has been participating in the offseason program. That "sends up a signal that something is up physically" according to Bonsignore, but also "there is no sense that it is anything serious". Bonsignore adds that his condition might not be known until training camp.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs has had a lot of nicks and bumps and usage over the first three years of his tenure with the Raiders, so it wouldn't shocking to find out he had some sort of offseason procedure. If he is recovering from something that would be better than learning that the team hoped offseason rest would resolve an issue that ended up keeping him out of minicamp. We'll be watching this closely as Kenyan Drake is also coming back from a broken ankle. Fourth-round pick Zamir White could emerge as the hammer in this backfield if Jacobs can't stay on the field, and he should be on your waiver wire watch list - or more if Jacobs is limited in camp. The Raiders declined Jacobs fifth year option this offseason, so they may know more than we do about Jacobs viability - at least at 8 million for 2023, which is the proposition they turned down. |

Raiders | Kenyan Drake on the mend Sat May 7, 10:31 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Kenyan Drake (ankle) is 'recovering nicely' from the broken ankle he suffered last season, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Kenyan Drake is venturing into a competition with notable rookie addition Zamir White for the roles behind Raiders' starter Josh Jacobs. Any misstep, by injury or otherwise, for Drake can push the Raiders towards Spiller. The Raiders have no financial commitment to Drake beyond 2022. |

Raiders | RB White a Future Starter? Mon May 2, 02:30 PM
Vic Tafur, from The Athletic, believes Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Zamir White could be a starter for the team in 2023. New Raiders GM Dave Ziegler is schooled in the "Patriots Way" and that means being cost effective at the running back position.
| Footballguys view: White could be a future starter for the Raiders, but this season he'll work as a backup to Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake. With Jacobs in the final year of his contract, the team is likely to move on from the 2019 first-round pick. White has talent and runs with intent and swiftness, but he's got to stay healthy to reach his full potential in the pros (durability is a concern for him). |

Las Vegas Raiders RB Kenyan Drake is a candidate to be released or be asked to restructure his contract this offseason since he is scheduled to count $8.5 million against the salary cap in 2022.
| Footballguys view: Drake broke his right ankle in December and has been on the road to recovery since then. We're certain the team will ask him to rework his deal. He's got an $8.5 million cap hit in 2022 with $5.5 million remaining in dead money. |
