HOU RB Lamar Miller - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Lamar Miller wanted to be a workhorse back when he left Miami for Houston last offseason. He got his wish, carrying the ball 93 times in the first four games of 2016. Miller had a season-high 28 carries in the opening week of the season and earned 24-plus carries four times last season. His 268 total carries (in 14 games) last year were 52 more than his previous career-high during his four seasons in Miami.

Fantasy Downside

Throughout the season Miller dealt with an array of nagging injuries before finally being sidelined the final two games. In hindsight, head coach Bill O'Brien said he leaned on Miller a bit too much. "We were very, very dependent on him because he's that type of player," O'Brien explained. "But I think 30 carries in a couple games, that's probably a little bit too much." O'Brien also mentioned the team's stable of versatile backs behind Miller -- rookie D'Onta Foreman, Alfred Blue, Tyler Ervin and Akeem Hunt -- as being part of the solution.

2017 Bottom Line

Miller will continue to get the bulk of the workload, but Foreman could be a factor at the goal line. So even though Miller remains a front-line fantasy RB, sharing the workload has to be a concern given his RB11 ADP.

HOU RB Lamar Miller - Week 19, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Divisional Round at New England
With the Texans jumping out to an early lead on the Raiders last Saturday, Lamar Miller was given the ball 31 times. He finished with 73 yards and a touchdown. The conservative game plan worked at home, but likely won’t be a recipe for a victory at New England. In Week 3 versus the Patriots, Lamar was the team’s lone bright spot, totaling 107 yards. However, Saturday may be Houston’s final game of the season.

HOU RB Lamar Miller - Week 18, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round vs. Oakland
After being held out the past two weeks with an ankle injury, Lamar Miller will start in the playoffs versus the Raiders. In the regular season, Lamar rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored six total touchdowns. In November against Oakland, he ran for 104 yards and a score and will definitely give the Texans’ offense a lift. However, the most games Houston has remaining is two, as the Patriots would likely be up next.

HOU RB Lamar Miller - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tennessee
Lamar Miller missed last week’s division-clinching win over Cincinnati with a sore ankle. With nothing to play for this week, there’s a good chance Lamar will be held out again. If he does play, Miller ran for 82 yards and also caught three passes for 26 yards in the Week 4 win against Tennessee.

HOU RB Lamar Miller - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Cincinnati
Before leaving in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury, Lamar Miller ran for 63 yards on 22 carries and the game-winning touchdown versus Jacksonville. The Texans are in a heated playoff battle, so Lamar will do everything he can to be on the field versus the Bengals. If he’s healthy enough to play, go ahead and start Miller against the seventh worst run defense.

HOU RB Lamar Miller - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Jacksonville
Last Sunday at the Colts, Lamar Miller led the Houston ground game with 21 carries, 107 yards and his fifth touchdown of the season. The Texans controlled the clock with their rushing attack, as Alfred Blue got in the act with 16 rushes for 55 yards. Lamar has been over 100 yards four times in ’16. Against the Jaguars last month, he finished with 83 yards on 15 carries, as the Texans ran for 181 yards in the win. There’s no question Miller should be started in the rematch.

HOU RB Lamar Miller - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Indianapolis
In the loss to the Packers last week, Lamar Miller briefly left the contest with a rib injury, but returned. Facing a good run defense and a snow-covered field, he ran for just 22 yards on 14 carries. Lamar should be good to go on Sunday and will return as the Texans featured back. Miller ran through the Colts defense for 149 yards and a score in October, so be sure he remains in your starting lineup.
