Miami Dolphins running back Lamar Miller is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Buffalo Bills, according to Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel. Miller is dealing with a shoulder injury that had him limited to just 11 snaps against the Detroit Lions in Week 10. Miller will probably play in the game, but he'll likely have to share the load with Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams.

LaMichael James was also promoted from the practice squad and could be on the game-day roster. Both Williams and Thomas had more touches than Miller against the Lions. Miller has 110 carries for 528 yards and five touchdowns on the season, along with 22 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown. Against the Lions, Miller had just 10 yards rushing.
Fantasy Impact: Miller has been an excellent fantasy weapon thus far this season, but fantasy owners should stay away for this game. Miller will play, but he’ll likely take only a few more snaps than he did against the Lions. Fantasy owners should stay away from all Dolphins running backs this week.
