Jordan Howard, Miami Dolphins


Old team: Philadelphia Eagles


In signing with the Dolphins, Howard becomes a starter on a team that wants to run the ball. That's the ideal situation for a running back, and it should help reverse the decline in production that's been a constant of Howard's career going back to Year 2: Every year, his rushing yards total has dipped, from 1,313 in 2016 to 1,122 in 2017, 935 in 2018 and 525 in 2019. The thing is, even last year's career-low output would have led the '19 Dolphins, with no Miami running back managing to crack 250 yards (or surpass 37-year-old QB Ryan Fitzpatrick's 243 rushing yards). This team desperately needs a back who can make defenses respect the run game and wear down his opponents, which is exactly what Howard will do on the way to his first 1,000-yard season in years.


2020 production: 280 carries, 1,100 rush yards, 8 rush TDs

This would be great.
 
I agree, that would be great. It is also well within reason.

His drop off last year is a bit misleading. He only had 119 carries. His per carry average has been pretty consistent.

If you factor in recieving, he had 4.6 yrds/touch, also consistent with his overall career.

Is he "elite"? No, but he is a starting caliber back. At least he has been up until now. That's more than you can say about anyone else on the roster.

Brother with a rookie draft pick the running game should see a huge improvement along with a better offensive line.
