Ajayi (His 'Potential' Numbers): 2016-17

[Charlie Rivers]

If Ajayi remains healthy for the duration of the 2016-17 season, what types of numbers are we potentially seeing out of this second-year player?
(Keep in mind the tuned-up o-line)

I bet you're probably pretty close with this line.

Seeing that there were only seven 1000 yard rushers last season those numbers seem high to me. If he rushed for 1100 yards in 2015 he would have been the fourth leading rusher and only nine yards behind Todd Gurley. I'm thinking he will be in the same territory that Miller was in last season. Between 800 and 900 yards.

I can see the 400 receiving yards. Based off his production last year and how he looks I'd say closer to 800-900 yards and 4-6 total TDs.

I think he'll get in 1000 range +/- rushing....about 400 +/- receiving....Drake will probably get more carries than most think.

How many starting RB's stayed healthy in 2015?

Bingo!!! Don't set yourself up to be disappointed. Let's take it one game at a time.

I think the low number of 1000 yard rushers was due to injuries and the fact that teams don't lean on one runningback, unless that one back is very good.

Depends on how often he's used. If he's underutilized like Miller was who knows? If he runs 300 times he could be around 1,200 yards.

Which would be a good 4 ypc average and if he's averaging that off 300 carries I could see us being closer to 9-7 than 7-9

Given that Miami really doesn't have another true RB option, he should get about as much work as he can handle. Your points are correct as a league trend, but if Ajayi sees fewer than 250 carries, it means Miami is passing more than we should hope.

I could certainly live with this. Another 1000 for Landry, 700-900 each for the wideouts, 500-600 from the TE's and we should be fun to watch, right?

I'm going specific. 235 carries, 4.4 avg., 1034 yards, 11 tds, 18 catches, 220 yards, 1 td.

That would be a damn good year.
