Lamar Miller, RB Houston Texans

Paulsen's Draft Notes

Lamar Miller (RB - HOU)

Miller isn’t on the thickest of ice in Houston, but the guy most likely to take his job, Donta Foreman, is recovering from an Achilles injury and may not be ready to start the season. In seven games with a healthy Deshaun Watson, Miller averaged 17.6 touches for 89 total yards and 0.57 touchdowns per game, which equate to low-end RB1 numbers over the course of a full season. His workload decreased in the final three weeks (10.0 touches per game) as the Texans elected to go with Alfred Blue as the lead back down the stretch. Blue is back, but it seems unlikely that he’ll be more of a change-of-pace back with Miller serving as the feature back until Foreman is ready to challenge him. As a bonus, the Texans don’t project to have a tough rushing matchup until Week 9 (Denver).

Wild Card vs. Indianapolis Colts

Versus the Colts this season Lamar Miller was limited to 82 yards on 28 carries in the two meetings. While he rushed for a score in the most recent matchup in Week 14, the Indianapolis run defense did a nice job both times in containing Miller. Expect more of the same in the playoff meeting on Saturday, making Miller a risky fantasy play.
