The Miami Dolphins lost running back Knowshon Moreno for the rest of the season due to an ACL tear in Week 6. Now, it'll be up to Lamar Miller to carry the torch for the rest of the season.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Lamar Miller
Lamar Miller will be the featured back on Sunday. Should fantasy owners start him despite some risk?

Miller has been busy since Week 2 when Moreno had an elbow injury, so we have a very nice sample size on how he can perform. He has a very impressive 5.2 yards per carry with four scores on his 78 touches. Plus, his 15 catches show he’s heavily involved in the passing game.
The Dolphins have actually been one of the best teams at running the football, ranking sixth in the NFL. Their schedule hasn’t been too tough with some easy games mixed in there, but it doesn’t stand to get significantly more difficult for Miami from here.
This week, the Dolphins take on a Chicago Bears team that's ranked No. 10 against the run. The Dolphins do match up nicely all over the field, so they should be able to put up points.
Fantasy impact: Miller should be in all lineups. As long as he doesn’t fumble, he will flirt with RB1 value.
