Best bet for goal line work Howard is the top candidate to handle the majority of carries around the goal line for the Dolphins in 2020, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports. Impact A one-time Pro Bowler who's firmly established his ability to handle a workload in the NFL, Howard is the likely favorite to stand atop Miami's backfield depth chart entering training camp. The 25-year-old should likewise earn the majority of carries in the red zone, thanks to his physical, bruising running style which favors work between the tackles. On the other hand, Howard's lack of receiving prowess and elusiveness presents an open window for Matt Breida to earn the majority of touches on passing downs. As such, Howard stands to hold the safer floor in standard scoring formats, with Breida receiving a boost in PPR leagues. It's within the realm of possibility that the two could pair up to form a dreaded backfield committee, where either tailback's fantasy relevance on a given week becomes dependent on game script.
