Sony Michel

Per Ian Rapoport on twitter, Former Patriots RB Sony Michel is set to sign with the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Michel has now signed with the Miami Dolphins after spending the last half of the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Rams on the way to a Super Bowl victory. The former Patriots RB is now set to join what will be one of the deeper running back rooms in the league, one that already contains Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert. With the other two RB's aforementioned having injury problems the Dolphins may have made this signing more as an insurance play due to the risk involved with Mostert in particular. For now moving into the 2022 season all Dolphins RB's now move down the list of usability as they make each other a borderline FLEX play at least until it is determined how the touches will be split.

Sony Michel took 13 carries for 58 yards in Monday's Wildcard Round win over the Cardinals.

Michel took a carry for 35 yards on the Rams first offensive play of the game. He was a pretty even split with Cam Akers throughout the game with Akers seeing more carries (17), but Michel leading the team in rushing yards. It'll likely once again be an even split next week against Tampa Bay.

Rams running back Sony Michel rushed 21 times for 43 yards against the 49ers on Sunday. He also hauled in one of four targets for an additional six yards through the air.

Fantasy Impact

Even with Cam Akers back in the lineup, Michel was the Rams' clear lead back. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the former Patriot didn't have a huge yardage total, nor did he score.

Sony Michel took 19 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown on Sunday against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

Michel also caught three passes for 25 yards. With Darrell Henderson and Cam Akers both sidelined, it was another strong performace for Michel as the workhorse.

Sony Michel took 27 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown on Sunday against the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

It was a true workhorse performance for Michel. With Darrell Henderson potentially missing time due to a knee sprain, Michel should once again be the workhorse next week against the Ravens.
