Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (ankle) 'looking forward' to RB1 workload in Week 3

Sep 17, 2014

Knowshon Moreno's elbow injury, which is expected to sideline him for several weeks, has opened the door for Lamar Miller to get more carries.

Miller is averaging a career-best 4.8 yards per carry this season in two games. The Dolphins (1-1) hope that continues when they host the Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) Sunday at Sun Life Stadium.

"I'm looking forward to it," Miller said. "Every running back wants the ball in their hands. So I feel like the more carries you get, the more comfortable you get with the team you're going against. I'm pretty up for the challenge."

Fantasy Impact:

Miller injured his ankle in Week 2, but it doesn’t sound like that is going to keep him out this week. The Chiefs are yielding 4.4 YPC through two games.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Kayshon Boutte officially Out Week 11

Tom Pelissero

The Patriots ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Kayshon Boutte, and TE Austin Hooper for Thursday night vs. the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

This will be another RB2 week for Henderson, while Diggs stays in his WR2 role, with Hollins and Douglas operating as desperation FLEX plays.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson officially Out for Week 11

The Jets downgraded WR Garrett Wilson and CB Azareye’h Thomas to out for TNF.

Fantasy Impact:

Unless you're in a 16-team league or deeper, we would suggest fading the Jets wide receiver room wherever possible. Tight end Mason Taylor could legitimately end up being the No. 1 pass-catcher on Thursday Night Football, which makes him a TE streamer candidate.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson misses Wednesday practice

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is NOT practicing today.

Also not practicing: WR Rashod Bateman (ankle), RB Justice Hill, CB Marlon Humphrey (finger), ILB Jay Higgins (knee).

Related Players: Tyler Huntley

Fantasy Impact:

It's still early in the week but this is not the news the Ravens or fantasy managers wanted to see. We'd expect Snoop Huntley to grab another start, but he wasn't especially fantasy relevant in his two starts this season. He'd be a deep 2QB play if he ends up getting the nod.
