Yeah for sure. I don't think anyone expects the Houston numbers on a consistent basis...but he seems like low RB1 floor at this stage.
On the other hand, keep in mind he was pulled at halftime against Houston and mid-2nd half vs the Titans. If he had played the whole game who knows what his numbers could have been like....so we actually don't know the guys new ceiling quite yet.

"Doug Martin in there somewhere?"
Yeah good call. I'd slot him in between Ingram and Ivory...or maybe right under Ivory but that whole second half of the list is pretty close in my opinion.

I kind of like Miami's chances tonight. All of a sudden this is one of my favorite teams.

Decided today to roll with him tonight in my flex, probably over R.Cobb. Waffled all week but went back to 1) he's been on a major roll 2) he was pulled at halftime last Sunday so he's more rested than a usual Thursday night RB.
I'm not expecting anywhere near last week's production vs the Pats. If I can get 15-20 points out of him I'll be fine with that.

West is a potential top5 play this week. Your team must be loaded with Bell, Freeman, and Gurley to be sitting Miller and West. Why can't you play both?

NE coming off a bye...no chance. I will still be starting him tonight as well.

I think they played NYJ in a pretty fierce struggle a few days ago. Miami on the other hand was resting most starters at halftime up 41-0.

Very true but we didn't play those games with a man leading the team who gargles ox blood, shaves with a flaming axe and draws plays on his chest in blood using a Rambo knife...I'm just saying.

I think sgt campbell will fire up this team and they will play much better in the second half

Alright so I screwed up going against "When in doubt, Thursdays out". Luckily I'm playing the league bottom dweller this week so I still have a shot

Welp this answers the Lazor question. Only down two scores and he abandons the run. Granted the oline isn't cutting it but now you're predictable

14.4 in PPR
in a 36-7 loss. What else can you really hope for. 14 yards rushing as a team total this game and you got 14.4 points out of Miller.
Sheesh man.

The give him the pull from the game treatment in garbage time as if they think he is a stud, but they didnt use him during the game like they thought he was one.

I'm gonna chalk this one up to "nobody's beating the Patriots this year" combined with the Thursday night element. Still optimistic on Miller moving forward. He looked damn good the last two games but the Pats are just an unstoppable force.

He was targeted in the pass game, also got the goal line carries, so all that is good.
Miller really didnt have a good game. He slipped and fell on a couple plays that looked like he could gain chunks of yards.
Still quit optimistic going forward. You dont play NE every week.

Yeah, he had 14 touches and slipped and fell early on two of them. Glad he got the TD to save his day. It was a little concerning to see them go basically all pass again as soon as they were down a couple scores.

For as bad as the offense looked, for Miller to come away with 14.4 points, isn't too shabby. Strangely, that's what ESPN had him projected in my league.
Don't think many of us expected him to go off like the last 2 weeks, so I'm not too disappointed with his point total this week.

Every run looked like tecmo bowl when New England picked their play.
This is the kind of week you just forget about and move on.

Seemed like they were using Gray as more a passing back for some reason. I remember seeing one pass where he was wide open over the middle and it just went right off his hands. Not sure why they don't trust Miller in passing situations unless they just wanted to keep him fresh?
