Mark Walton Gets His First Start in Loss
5 years agoGetting the surprise start on Sunday in an eventual 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton finished with 66 yards on 14 carries, adding one reception that lost eight yards. Walton’s 14 carries easily topped Drake’s six, as it seems that the latter is on his way to being traded before the Oct. 29 deadline. If and when Drake is traded, Walton will still likely be in a timeshare with Kalen Ballage and will still be running behind a patchwork offensive line on the league’s worst team. While he should continue to get steady work, Walton is nothing more than a gamble heading into a Monday night matchup with a Pittsburgh Steelers Defense that’s giving up the 10th-fewest points to running backs on the season.
