Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas has one last chance to salvage his career in Miami. After missing the first three games with a hamstring injury, he will play and likely get a heavy workload in the Dolphins' preseason finale against St. Louis Thursday.

And if he's going to make this team, he will have to earn it. The people who drafted him are gone. And their replacements – Dennis Hickey and Joe Philbin – have shown no compunction about removing the mistakes of regimes past.

Fantasy Impact: 

Even if Thomas makes the team there doesn't look like there is a lot of fantasy value to be had. He'll be behind Lamar Miller and Knowshon Moreno who appear as if they are going to share the workload in some capacity.

The Dolphins have a competition for the No. 3 running back job. The only problem is no one of consequence is actually competing for the job right now.

Daniel Thomas has a hamstring injury and has been out of practice eight days. He is not practicing today. That opened the door for Mike Gillislee to get more opportunities to win the job, or at minimum take a lead in the race for the job. But Gillislee has not been able to make the most of his chance.

Gillislee was unimpressive in the preseason opener against Atlanta, gaining 30 yards on eight carries (3.8 yards average) and then then he injured his hamstring in practice on Sunday -- neither is good news because he failed to impress to a great degree with his opportunity and now is sidelined and unable to show out in practice.

Well, the Dolphins have other running back options in camp: Orleans Darkwa, Damien Williams and Cameron Marshall was resigned for the third time on Monday. But it seems obvious to anyone with eyes none of these guys will be the answer.

The Dolphins made a couple of procedural moves on Thursday, placing running back Knowshon Moreno and center Mike Pouncey on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Moreno’s stay shouldn’t be that long. The veteran back had knee surgery during the offseason and coach Joe Philbin said his conditioning needed some work, but Philbin doesn’t think it will be long before Moreno is in the mix with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas.

Fantasy Impact: 

Lamar Miller will continue to see first team reps and will have a chance to impress new OC Bill Lazor while Moreno is on the shelf.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller earned the starting job last season and showed flashes while finishing with 709 rushing yards and a 4.0 average.

Miller also showed big-play ability, with a 49-yard run against Atlanta and a 41-yard gain against Cincinnati. Miller is hoping to become more consistent in his third season and also take steps in the passing game, both in picking up blitzers and catching the ball out of the backfield.

Whether or not he retains his starting job, Miller should be an important player on offense.

Fantasy Impact: 

Miller is competing with free agent pickup Knowshon Moreno, who was rumored to have had minor knee surgery and may not be ready for the start of camp, according to the story. That could give Miller the inside track as the starter, but either way, both backs figure to be factors. Given Moreno is the better pass blocker, he at least figures to have a role on third down in the passing game, giving him more PPR value. Daniel Thomas is expected to take the hit in touches.
