Mark Walton Ineffective in Loss
5 years agoAfter starting his last three games, and with teammate Kenyan Drake being traded to the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton had an opportunity to claim the backfield for himself in a Monday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This claim ended up mostly empty as Walton finished with only 35 yards on 11 carries, adding another 19 yards on three receptions. He also had an untimely turnover in the fourth quarter, coughing up a fumble in Pittsburgh territory with the Dolphins down 24-14. While his 11 carries dwarfed the three of backup Kalen Ballage, Walton's upside will be extremely limited on a bad Miami team and running behind a patchwork offensive line. Heading into a Week 9 matchup with the New York Jets, Walton is only a low-floor RB3.
