Miami Dolphins Snap Counts

Matt Moore continued to start under center for the injured Ryan Tannehill. Next week is still up in the air, but it will likely be Moore again. Jay Ajayi had a tough matchup this week, and took a semi-off day, playing just 58% of the snaps. The wide receivers played their usual role as always.

Ryan Tannehill remains out, hence the Matt Moore snaps continuing. That will be the case again for Week 17. Jay Ajayi had a monster week against Buffalo, again. He played 75% of the snaps, and got some of his offensive lineman back. The wide receivers continued their usual snaps.

Matt Moore filled in for Ryan Tannehill, and did well against a Jets defense that has given up on the year. Jarvis Landry played 75% of the snaps, as Miami went with a lot of two tight end looks, and mixed and matched Kenny Stills with DeVante Parker. Jay Ajayi continues to struggle, but played 85% of the team snaps.

Ryan Tannehill is one of the bigger injuries of Week 14, possibly done for the year. He played 77% of the team snaps. Jay Ajayi played 70% of the team snaps this past week, and we had our usual numbers for the wideouts. Dion Sims played 100% of the team snaps, and even found the end zone.

Jay Ajayi played just 65% of the team snaps in a game where they were trailing from the beginning. This forced a more up-tempo passing attack. Jarvis Landry played 98% of the snaps, while Devante Parker played 79%. Not much changes with the receiving core, Kenny Stills played 100% of the team snaps.

Miami was missing three of their offensive lineman this season, which was an issue for the run game. Jay Ajayi played 80% of the snaps, but found it tough to get anything going. Devante Parker had a solid game, and played 63% of the snaps. Miami never surprises us with snap counts.

Jay Ajayi continues to pound the rock, playing 80% of the snaps. The wideouts continue to log a heavy amount of snaps. Nobody was under 80% of the team snaps. Dion Sims played 100% of the snaps at tight end, but remains just a run-blocking tight end in use. Ajayi gets San Francisco next week.

The run game approach in Miami continues, as Jay Ajayi played 76% of the snaps. Un-fortunately it was Williams who got the goal line touchdown. Jarvis Landry played 96% of the snaps this week, and it was the other two alongside him. Dion Sims got the most tight end snaps, and is being used for blocking.

Bye Week

Arian Foster returned this week, playing 25% of the snaps, yet you will not see him no more. He retired from NFL, pushing Jay Ajayi into a lead back role, which he has already earned with 400 rushing yards in the last two weeks. Devante Parker had a down week in terms of snaps, recording just 49.

Miami shocked most of us by dominating Pittsburgh at home. Jay Ajayi saw a huge increase in snaps and how could he not given his play? He saw 69% of the snaps. Jarvis Landry's snaps were among the season norm, but the targets have been down. Devante Parker continues to log 80% or more of the snaps.

After playing 30% of the snaps in Week 4, Jay Ajayi played 68% of the snaps in Week 5. The running game still isn't appealing. Dion Sims filled in for the injured Jordan Cameron. Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker, and Kenny Stills continue to play a mass amount of snaps in an offense that is pass heavy.

Miami basically is going without a running game right now. None of their backs popped up with the default amount of snaps on. Instead it was the usual tandem of Ryan Tannehill and his wideouts. Kenny Stills played every snap, with Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker near by. This is going to be a continuous theme for the rest of the year.

Without Arian Foster, Kenyan Drake played 48 snaps, and Jay Ajayi played 23. We know Miami has no faith in Ajayi, or really the run game in general. DeVante Parker played 87% of the snaps this week, which is encouraging. We also saw Kenny Still play 97%. We know the trio we want to be targeting.

We saw all three wide receivers play over 90% of the team's snaps against New England. They were chasing this game from the start, but overall this is nice to see from a team that can't really run the ball. When Arian Foster went down, Jay Ajayi saw 57% of the snaps.

Miami had a tough task on the road against Seattle. Jay Ajayi was a scratch, and Arian Foster played 87% of the snaps at running back. If this is the case again moving forward, he will excel in plus matchups. Leonte Carroo, Kenny Stills, and Jarvis Landry led the wide receivers, who were without DeVante Parker.

Miami Dolphins Snap Count Breakdown

The AFC East seems to have the teams with the most mess to sort through, outside of the Patriots of course. Miami had a disappointing 2015, and underachieved greatly. Ryan Tannehill played 99% of the team snaps, but did take a step backwards. The receiving core around Tannehill is average at best. Jarvis Landry led the Dolphins in snaps, playing 84% of them, and leading as Tannehill's number one go-to option. Kenny Stills was second with 57%, and now Tennessee Titan, Rishard Matthews had 50%. With Matthews gone, Stills and Parker will pick up his workload that he left behind. Tannehill should have the same three wide receivers out there when needed. It is hard to see anyone cracking that top three. If anyone did, Leonte Carroo would be the man to do so. There are talks about him cutting into Stills' snaps a little bit here in preseason. Jordan Cameron really dropped the ball in Miami, with a 50% catch rate. He did play 72% of the snaps, which is a plus given his health concerns. Unfortunately, those snaps didn't result in much.

Lamar Miller's 630 snaps are up for grabs, and now that Miami signed Arian Foster, you expect him and Jay Ajayi to pick up most of them. Both Ajayi and Damien Williams had the exact same number of snaps last season, and Miami's confidence in Ajayi is pretty bleak at the moment. Foster is not exactly a workhorse, nor is he going to play 70% of the snaps in Miami. Ajayi was about to be a fantasy back on the radar, but that has come to a close rather quickly. Expect Foster to lead the way if healthy, and Ajayi to be the back to give Foster rest when needed. Anything beyond those two is a reach.
