SIT ‘EM

Texans. Lamar Miller. 2. player. 10. . Running Back

Lamar Miller‘s production has been declining, which is why he’s not a great option to start at running back this week. Miller has just ten carries for 55 yards last week while Alfred Blue had 16 carries for 108 yards.

The Colts aren’t a great defensive team, but why trust Miller to get the job done when he isn’t even first in line in the Texans backfield? Alfred Blue has been the guy Houston has turned to, not Miller.

Lamar Miller hasn’t had a 100+ yard performance all year and it’s clear that the Texans are more comfortable with Blue taking the majority of the carries. If his own team doesn’t trust him to make plays, why should a fantasy owner vying for a championship?
