The Dolphins are not required to submit an injury report until Wednesday, and no news of any injury to Miller has surfaced, leaving the starting running back’s status in the dark. Salguero added that he doesn’t think there is reason to be concerned about Miller, which indicates that the team could be giving their featured running back a routine day of rest.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners have plenty of time to monitor Miller's status and, for now, it doesn't appear that there's any reason to worry. The main concern for Sunday isn't Miller's health, but a capable Bills defense that has allowed four rushing touchdowns in seven games. The hope is that the Dolphins can benefit from film study that showed the Jacksonville Jaguars and T.J. Yeldon routinely gashing the Bills' front seven in their most recent game.
Despite a less than ideal matchup, Miller’s volume puts him in the low-end RB1 conversation, as he is finally amid a coaching staff committed to feeding him the football.
