Miami's offense is sputtering, and Dolphins suddenly sliding

MALCOLM BROWN
Another five-carry day Brown handled five carries for 21 yards during Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.
Impact Brown split backfield work fairly evenly with Myles Gaskin (five carries) and Salvon Ahmed (six carries) during Sunday's blowout loss, though the gamescript was admittedly unusual. It remains to be seen whether Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) or Jacoby Brissett will start Week 3 against the Raiders, but no matter the case, Brown's rotational role will make it difficult to start him in almost any fantasy format.

Logs five carries Brown carried the ball five times for 16 yards in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Patriots.
Impact The Dolphins predictably used a rotation in the backfield, with none of the team's running backs reaching double-digit carries. Brown served as the primary backup to Myles Gaskin, as he out-snapped Salvon Ahmed 16-11. However, he didn't do much with his opportunity, as his longest rush went for only five yards. Even so, Brown appears to have the trust of the coaching staff and could maintain a meaningful workload moving forward.

Solid effort in preseason win Brown rushed 10 times for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 37-17 preseason win over the Falcons on Saturday night.
Impact The offseason acquisition turned in an impressive effort after backfield Myles Gaskin notched a pair of first-half touchdowns and 71 total yards. Brown's rushing score came from a yard out and capped off Miami's opening possession of the second half. Brown didn't look anywhere near as effective while playing against members of the Bears' first-unit defense in the preseason opener, however; therefore, it remains to be seen if he's done anything that would be enough to dislodge Gaskin from what may be the lead-back role to open the season, even if he holds that title by a relatively narrow margin.

Starts over Gaskin Brown got the start in Saturday's preseason loss to Chicago, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The Dolphins played nearly all of their healthy starters, including RBs Myles Gaskin. The question now is whether Gaskin is even a starter, considering Brown got most of the snaps and carries with the first-team offense Saturday afternoon. Granted, the former Ram wasn't exactly effective, taking nine carries for eight yards and one catch for seven yards. Brown got all his work while starting QB Tua Tagovailoa was still in the game, with Gaskin subbing in for the first unit and then splitting snaps with Salvon Ahmed on the second-string offense. Brown's NFL track record and one-year, $1.75 million contract don't exactly scream starter, but he could perhaps win that role if the Dolphins are feeling iffy about Gaskin. All eyes on Miami's backfield for an Aug. 21 preseason game against Atlanta.

Impact The Dolphins didn't add another running back until the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft, when the team grabbed Gerrid Doaks. That speaks to the team's confidence in its current three-man committee, which includes Brown along with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. Gaskin still appears primed for the lead role, but it seems possible that Brown, whom Flores praised as "reliable" and "dependable," could beat out Ahmed for No. 2 duties. During his time with the Rams, Brown found his most success in situations where the team only needed to pick up between one and three yards.
