Daniel Thomas had more snaps than Lamar Miller (36-30) Sunday – and started the second half -- despite Miller having the far more productive game. But Joe Philbin said he wants to keep their playing time comparable unless “one guy is breaking tackles left and right and taking the ball a long way, and the other guy is not being productive.” But as much as the Dolphins like Miller, they don't view Thomas as a clearly worse player.
Miller is the better player and a decent RB2 play in most matchups, but the fact that Thomas played more snaps in Week 2 is a concern. It doesn't appear that the Dolphins are going to give Miller enough snaps to play through a poor start, which means he could be in for some disappointing fantasy days.
