Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Laird has flashed in limited action before, but he's now facing steep competition for even depth touches. Barring injuries elsewhere in the backfield, the third-year pro will mostly be relegated to special teams work.
Laird made the Dolphins' roster as an undrafted free agent last year, thanks largely to his ability on special teams, but when the backfield was in desperate need of warm bodies by the end of the season he got some snaps on offense as well. His 2.7 yards per carry fit right in with Miami's moribund rushing attack, but the converted college wideout did see fairly significant action as a receiver, averaging four targets per game over the final seven weeks. Laird was charged with four drops among his 30 overall targets, but given that he caught 96 passes over his final two seasons at Cal, his hands and receiving skill should be strengths. With Jordan Howard and Matt Breida joining the team in the offseason, Laird will be pushed back down into a depth role, but Breida's checkered injury history could open the door for the second-year pro to handle passing-down work alongside Howard.
