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).

Week 6 vs. Buffalo Bills
Although he was active last Sunday night versus Dallas, Lamar Miller did not play due to a chest injury. Alfred Blue did a nice job in Miller’s absence, totaling 119 scrimmage yards, and will likely continue to share touches since Miller hasn’t been very effective since Week 1. Miller has been practicing this week and should play versus the Bills, who are No. 12 at stopping the run, allowing less than 100 yards per game.
