Thats what im worried about... Millers production equating to the end product of burritos

My rationale as to why I may start him...it seems when we all think he will do well, he does ok and then gets pulled by coaches who don't seem to want him to do well.
Now that we all think they will pull him, the coaches will again do the opposite and give him the ball.
Or, burritos.
Some of us have no choice but to start him. He's my only healthy and playable Rb left lol.
Dion Lewis, Ingram, Chris Johnson, all gone. Demarco murray benched (and I'm still playing him this week lol).
Yes that's my backfield n my sb matchup: Miller and murray.
No faab money left since like week 12.

Miller still needs a couple hundred yards to get to 1000. Miami needs some sort of goal for this game, getting Miller 1000 yards seems like the only thing they got. Plus Miller should be very angry due to lack or carries and impending free agency.

Have played him and D Murray most of the year. For the finals I am likely playing two or three of Powell, Riddick, Shoelace and Gillislee. LOL. At least Russell Wilson decided to play like vintage Rodgers.

Have been a fan of his since his Canes Days, never seemed to play with an abundance of passion, think he's going to transfer his built up anger into production this week, as if he has a chip now and something to prove. Plus these coaches are coaching for their future, and I think it's hard to explain benching Miller in an interview.

Benching him for either Denard or Decker or Ajayi if something comes out saying he will get alot of work

Yet this is exactly what they have consistently done this year. Why would it change now?

Maybe its not the coaches. We hoped the inexplicable lack of using Miller was gone with Philbin and Lazor. But, it still is present.

Dolphins interim OC Zac Taylor said there"s "not a reason" Lamar Miller's workloads have been limited the past two weeks, and that he wanted to get Miller more touches in Week 15.

Seems like you changed the wording of the tweet. "Said he wanted to run more". Not sure if "he" is referring to himself or Miller.

Lamar Miller - RB - Dolphins

Whatever you say, Zac. Miller is easily the Dolphins' best offensive player, but they have failed time and again to get him the touches he needs/deserves. We'd like to believe he'll be featured in a juicy matchup with the Colts, but an unintelligent team hasn't given us any reason to believe in their process. Miller is on the RB1/2 borderline for Week 16.

My theory is that this coaching staff knows it's done. All of them. Miller made them look like fools when they said he was hurt 2 weeks ago and he said he wasn't which caused to local media to really shred the HC and staff. They are going to #### with Miller before they are fired. He has a goal of 1k yards. He's not sniffing 1k yards.
Of course it is backfiring on them because how the hell are they going to even get another job. The 1st question from anyone interviewing them will be, 'tell us why you gave up repeatedly on Miller when the stats show you should have stayed with himt. There probably won't be a 2nd question.
What I would love to know is who is really calling the shots and wants Tannehill to throw the ball. Everyone on the planet knows that the team does best when Miller gets 15+ carries.

I trust Miller more than Diggs, which is my decision this week. Or Artis Pane. Idk about that matchup either because of Tolbert
Man...wish I had the faith you do....can't seem to pull the trigger for my lineup. Good luck.

My guess would be Steve Ross, who is paying Tannehill all that money.lod01 said:
They would have dominated that division if Romo was able to stay on the field.

Lamar Miller (quad, ankle) is listed as probable for Week 16.
His practice participation went from limited on Wednesday and Thursday to full on Friday. Miller projects as the Dolphins' Week 16 lead back, but Jay Ajayi is earning consistent snaps as a change-up runner. Miller does have an excellent matchup against a sub-par Colts run defense this week.

1. I kind of have to.2. I really think he's going to have a huge game
3. No ragrets, not even a single letter

I'm the underdog as well and starting Miller due to upside.
Other wishful thinking reasons:
* The matchup is there.
* After a dud the coaching staff sometimes seem to wake up and give him the ball.
* Offensive line wants him to get 1000 yards.
The matchup is there, yes.
However the coaches have no clue with him
He's had 2 good games, 2bad games, 2 good games and last week a bad game.
CBS sports and FBG have him ranked high assuming he's going to have a good game with 15+ touches. I just don't see it.
It's a suckers bet during SB week to trust the MIA coaches to utilize him. I can't trust that.

He's on my bench in favor of Forte.

GL to all this week. Let's all hope we won't need him to win our games no matter if we played him or benched him. 12 points and I'll be happy.

Glad I left Artis Payne on my bench and played Lamar. Hope the rest of you who sat your stud didn't need his points

Schefter tweeting that he's signed with Houston.

As a Miller owner I was quietly thrilled at the prospect of him signing with Dallas to see if 2014 or 2015 was the fluke year for that running game.
But I can't complain too much about Houston because I don't think Osweiler was brought in to be the next Tom Brady. I think he was brought in to manage a balanced attack. Given his versatility, I think Miller can be a direct role replacement for Foster. Not to mention Houston doesn't seem to have some philosophical bias in favor of a committee approach.
The coaching changes in Miami had me cautiously optimistic had he stayed, but at the same time, Miller's misuse seemed to carry over from HC to HC so you have to wonder if he was typecast by persons higher up than the HC's and thus would never get used properly regardless of who was HC.
