Lamar Miller fantasy owners shouldn’t worry about knee issue
Lamar Miller was limited on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Joel Auerbach
The Dolphins lost running back Knowshon Moreno for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, which means it'll be Miller leading the running backs. Backup Daniel Thomas hasn't done anything to suggest he'll get many carries while Miller holds an impressive 5.2 yards-per-carry average on the season. Although, he has lost two fumbles in back-to-back weeks, so he needs to get that issue straightened out.
The matchup isn’t the greatest with the Bears ranking 10th in rushing yards against, and they also have been the 11th-toughest matchup for fantasy running backs.
Fantasy impact: He’s a great start. The Dolphins have done a fantastic job running the ball, ranking sixth in the NFL for rushing yards per game. He’s a top-15 back in PPR and standard leagues.
