Lamar Miller injury update: RB probable, will play for fantasy owners

The Dolphins running back is listed as probable and will suit up in Week 15. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jason Bridge-USA TODAY Sports

Miami Dolphins running back Lamar Miller (concussion) is listed as probable and will play in the team's Week 15 game against the New England Patriots. Miller was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and will play barring a setback.

Fantasy Impact: Miller will continue to work the timeshare backfield with Daniel Thomas, which has limited the value of both backs throughout the year. Miller has only one 100-yard game on the season and has also dropped duds of three, 15, two, 17, eight and 20 yards rushing. He's been more bust than boom thanks to his carries lost to Thomas, who also handles goal line duties. He had six carries last week and has received 10 or fewer carries in eight games this year. Millers is the more talented of the two backs but his inconsistent production has driven owners crazy all season.

Miller will take on the Patriots and their average run defense in Week 15. At this point, owners should be well aware of the fact that they never know what they are going to get from Miller. He will remain a boom-or-bust flex option this week.
