Sony Michel - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Leads team in rushing Michel tallied five carries for 22 yards and also caught one of his two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Michel actually led the team in rushing yards as Austin Ekeler (four carries, five yards) was completely kept in check, but with the score quickly spiraling out of control, the Chargers completely abandoned the run early in the contest. Joshua Kelley (one carry, negative three yards) had been the nominal No. 2 running back in the previous two weeks, but it's possible any sort of normal rotation was eschewed given the lopsided score.

Garners five touches in loss Michel carried the ball four times for 13 yards in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs. He also corralled his only target for six yards.

Impact Michel only played nine offensive snaps total, which makes his usage all the more surprising. The veteran tailback is currently embroiled in a time split with Joshua Kelley for the backup role behind starter Austin Ekeler. It's possible Isaiah Spiller could also get into the mix as the season progresses, although the rookie fourth-round pick has been a healthy scratch each of the first two weeks.

Second running back in Saturday Michel rushed two times for no gain in the Dolphins' 15-13 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.

Impact Michel took over for Chase Edmonds during the Dolphins' second drive of the game, but as his final line implies, he had minimal impact. Meanwhile, his primary competition for the No. 3 running back role, incumbent Myles Gaskin, logged five touches overall but gained just 12 yards. Consequently, the job battle, which arguably also includes Salvon Ahmed, appears set to extend into next Saturday night's exhibition finale against the Eagles.

Minimal action in preseason opener Michel rushed twice for minus-2 yards and secured his only target for four yards in the Dolphins' 26-24 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.

Impact The veteran opened the game with Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert both sitting out the contest, but Michel had minimal impact, as his final numbers corroborate. On the one hand, the 27-year-old has little to prove in the preseason in terms of his ability to produce at the NFL level, but he's also in a legitimate battle with Myles Gaskin, who carried four times for 27 yards, for a depth back role. The battle between the two players will continue to unfold in next Saturday night's exhibition matchup against the Raiders.

Impact Michel has proven himself capable of carrying a backfield load when necessary, and he averaged a healthy 4.1 YPC through 17 games with the Rams last season, rushing for 845 yards and four touchdowns while securing 21 passes for 128 yards and one score. Through the early stages of training camp it appears that Edmonds and Mostert are the early favorites to headline Miami's revamped rushing attack, but considering coach Mike McDaniel comes from Kyle Shanahan's coaching tree in San Francisco, it wouldn't be surprising to see multiple backs be featured throughout the 2022 campaign. Even if Michel begins the season in a depth role, he can thus be considered a high-upside handcuff in fantasy leagues with deep rosters, as long as he beats out Gaskin for at least the No. 3 gig.
