Mark Walton aims to be Miami's lead back: 'Trying to spark an offense'

DAVIE, Fla. -- Mark Walton, just two months ago, was fighting to make the Miami Dolphins' roster as a third-string running back. He wanted a second shot after throwing away his first one with the Cincinnati Bengals. Sunday, he got his first career NFL start for the Dolphins and he's pushing for more.

Dolphins fans and fantasy football owners have struggled to figure Miami's backfield for multiple years. For much of this offseason and regular season, Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage went back-and-forth hoisting the lead role with varying success.
