Probably Blue. I am desperate for a RB and CIN is a decent matchup...Miller did not practice at all on Wednesday. If he can’t go who is the guy to own, Alfred Blue or Akeem Hunt?
Did Hunt get the goal line carries because Miller was injured at the time or is he getting the Ingram treatment?Blue oddly did not get much action last week, so that dues muddy the waters a little. However, Hunt fumbled twice at the goal line, so I can't imagine he gets a lot of GL work.
His first fumble was second quarter 11:00 roughly. First play of the series. REcovered by the offense. Blue took the next carry. 3 and out. Was actually NOT a goal line carry (I read he got 2 goal line carries but I can't find 2... I can only find 1).Did Hunt get the goal line carries because Miller was injured at the time or is he getting the Ingram treatment?
Our league now uses 5 flex which can be RB, We or TE's. So for me it's Miller or Delanie Walker. I actually like our flex format since the NFL is starting to blur lines between RB's, WR and TE's. They all score the same and makes it easier when injuries hit. Back to Miller, we'll see if he practices tomorrow. He's a bit risky. I saw the last play when he tweaked his ankle and it can probably be easily tweaked againWould be hard to believe anybody has a team deep enough that they can sit a solid RB2 on the chance that he re-aggravates something.
This is what worries me. Did you see his foot last week? That foot might as well have been in a cast as much tape was on it.Blue and Hunt really do look like trash. Texans want this win; Lamar will be out there and getting work as long as he can suit up. IMO, it's a clear point of pride for Miller that he's out there and about to carry the brunt of the rushing for his team.
Also... the ankle twist didn't look great. Scariest scenario here would be playing him and he gets banged up early and sits. Would be hard to believe anybody has a team deep enough that they can sit a solid RB2 on the chance that he re-aggravates something.
0.5 ppr and need to decide between fitz or Miller at flex. Or I could go buck wild and start Malcolm Mitchell.Blue and Hunt really do look like trash.

Certainly not as scary as last year when they were top 5 but they are playing pretty well defensively as of late. Since the bye points against have been 21, 16, 19, 14, 10 and 24 for an average of about 17.0.5 ppr and need to decide between fitz or Miller at flex. Or I could go buck wild and start Malcolm Mitchell.
Lamar scares me. His floor is really low if he isn't 100%, on the flip side, savage may be a major upgrade for the offense and Cincinnati D is not scary at all
If Tenn wins and Miami wins (they both play early Sat), Houston has nothing to play for in week 16. They would be eliminated from the wildcard race and the week 17 game would decide the AFC South. If I had someone like Kelley as an alternative, I'd play him for sure.Was about to post that, given the real-world stakes around this game, Miller is unlikely to sit. But then I remembered something. I'm pretty sure that if Tennessee wins tomorrow afternoon (and I think if Indy loses as well), then the Week 17 match-up is automatically for the division title, regardless of what happens in Houston-Cinci. Wouldn't that give the Texans an extra incentive to sit Miller? Can anyone confirm that those are the stakes?
Hmm, suddenly Fat Rob is looking far more attractive ...
You're right. Indy's game is meaningless in this scenario, since if Tenn wins they're out.joeschmo said:If Tenn wins and Miami wins (they both play early Sat), Houston has nothing to play for in week 16.

Can you elaborate or provide a link where you are hearing this?He's out.

That's good enough for me. Demanding a link is unnecessary. Petekrum has no reason to lie about it.Thanks for a link
