Week 8 at New England
Who knew if you gave Lamar Miller the ball he’d actually be useful? Miller has 136 more yards in two games than he did in the four games with Joe Philbin as head coach. For those wondering, he’s piled up 354 total yards these last week while having just 218 yards in the first four games. Miller is a talented back, but he was seeing single-digit touches before the Dolphins made a coaching switch. Now he’s getting the ball, he’s been useful in fantasy.
His streak could cool off a bit this week against New England. The Patriots haven’t been allowing many points to backs, allowing an average of just below 70 yards to backs in the last four games with no touchdowns. Despite the poor matchup, Miller is still a low-end RB1, or high-end RB2.
