Start ‘Em #2
Lamar Miller has been a heck of a surprise for those who were smart (or lucky) enough to draft him this year in fantasy. He has been in double digits in all but one of his games this year, which many thought would be a huge step back for him with the arrival of Knowshon Moreno from Denver.
Miller may now be a top-15 or so option for the rest of the season when it comes to running backs in fantasy.
Moreno got hurt in Week 2, and Lamar has taken advantage of the opportunity. He is involved in the rushing and the passing game, getting four touchdowns so far this year.
Moreno made his return last week in Week 6, but has since been re-injured, and placed on IR, sending Miller’s fantasy value sky high. Miller may now be a top-15 or so option for the rest of the season when it comes to running backs in fantasy, and owners need to trade for him if they can in my opinion.
Miller and the Dolphins have by far the easiest schedule in the NFL this season and I see him continuing to take advantage of it as soon as in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears.
Look for Miller to keep playing well throughout the season.
Consider him a solid #2 RB for Week 7 and for the rest of the season.
