Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Lamar Miller

The Dolphins have been great at moving the ball. Should fantasy owners start Miller with confidence?

John Konstantaras

The Miami Dolphins haven't been known as a great offense since the Dan Marino days, but they've actually been putting up points this season. They rank 11th in points per game and are fourth in the NFL in rushing yards per game. A big reason for that is running back Lamar Miller posting a sterling 4.8 yards-per-carry average, which explains why they rank third in the NFL in that department.

The featured job is his despite some fumbling issues. With Knowshon Moreno out for the season, Miller totaled 83 yards on 20 touches and scored once against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. Even with one game as the backup, Miller is still in the RB1 territory and he should be right in that area again this week.

The Dolphins face the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in what should be a somewhat easy game. The Jags have only been the 23rd-toughest matchup to fantasy running backs, but they are actually playing better lately after shutting down the Cleveland Browns in Week 7 and the Tennessee Titans in Week 6. Of course, those aren't offensive powerhouses.

Fantasy impact: Miller is a must-start play with a sky-high ceiling.
