Omar Kelly: Why not? Dolphins should claim recently released tailback Leonard Fournette.

Since the Miami Dolphins are still in the collecting talent stage of this franchise’s rebuild, there’s no reason they shouldn’t put in a waiver claim on recently released tailback Leonard Fournette.

While the Dolphins have two starting caliber tailbacks in Jordan Howard and Matt Breida, both player’s injury history indicates that Miami could use another front-line talent to supplement the tailback unit and enhance the rushing attack.

And Fournette has certainly proven his worth the past three seasons, rushing for 2,631 yards and scoring 17 rushing touchdowns on the 666 carries he’s had in the 33 games he’s played in the past three seasons.

Last season Fournette finished with a career-best 1,152 rushing yards on 4.3 yards a carry and three touchdowns. He also led the Jacksonville Jaguars in receptions (76) and added 522 receiving yards to his totals.
