Summary
Ballage is a bit of a mystery and given his lack of opportunity last season, we just don't know how good he can be at the pro level. He'll be battling with Kenyan Drake for the starting job but both Drake and Ballage have been committee backs their entire careers since high school, so there;s a good chance that this will be more of the same for them. Ballage has some size and speed, but we didn't see much of it last season. The job in Miami is wide open and while we suspect it will be a committee, Ballage has the upside to pry the greater amount of carries away. (May 29)FBG Staff Rankings

Latest News
Dolphins | Kalen Ballage assumes top spot for now (Wed Aug 14, 11:16 PM) - Miami Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage will serve as the team's starting running back until RB Kenyan Drake (foot) is ready to return. Our View: Ballage will have a tough draw Week 1 against the Ravens if he starts, but he'll be worth a flex play. Mark Walton projects as the third down back for now, although he could face a suspension.link to story Dolphins | Kalen Ballage scores in win (Fri Aug 9, 01:12 AM) - Miami Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage rushed six times for 23 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch either of his targets in a 34-27 preseason win over the Atlanta Falcons Thursday, Aug. 8. Our View: Ballage was mostly unimpressive. After lots of buzz that he could push Kenyan Drake for the starting job, Ballage is losing momentum.
link to story Dolphins | Kalen Ballage returns to the field (Sat Aug 3, 10:26 PM) - Miami Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage (undisclosed) returned to practice Saturday, Aug. 3, and saw time with the starters. Our View: Ballage should be a big part of this backfield in any scenario, and he has a chance to start. Getting back on the field quickly after a short absence helps his case.
