6 years agoNew England Patriots running back Sony Michel will look to build off of his team-high 14 carries in Week 3 when the Patriots take on the Dolphins this Sunday. The rookie now has a huge opportunity moving forward with the news that Rex Burkhead was placed on IR this week. Michel has put together some tough runs on occasion but he also looks inexperienced finding his running lanes on certain plays. He will split time with veteran James White moving forward but White is used mostly in the passing game and lacks the size to break tackles for tough yards. The Patriots offense needs Michel to produce in Week 4 against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the ninth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Michel's touches will be on the rise in Week 4 and needs to be added in fantasy leagues even if he's not ready to be in starting lineups just yet.--Joey C - RotoBaller
