Summary

Running Back Rank: #18All Players: #37

Miller didn't get a ton of work his rookie season but showed some good things with his carries. He had double-digit carries just twice but averaged more than six yards per game in those games. For the season, he averaged 4.9 yards per carry, a more than respectable number. Miller seems in store for a much bigger role in 2013. He even has a chance to start if he progresses well this offseason and training camp. The Dolphins are high on Miller going forward. Miller is a home-run threat with the ball in his hands. He has track speed - actually running some track in college. He can get to the next level in a hurry. Miller isn't a huge back, though, and needs to bulk up some to be an every-down back in the NFL. He needs to prove he can run well between the tackles before getting an every-down gig.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Miller is a solid sleeper for the coming year. He is worth a look as a low-end No. 2 back. He has upside in an offense that is getting better. We like his total yardage potential. It wouldn't surprise to see him get around 1,200 total yards and six or so touchdowns. He is going to make some big plays.

comments about Lamar Miller

Notes

May 22 11:25 am

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller worked predominantly with the first-team offense, but RBs Daniel Thomas, Mike Gillislee and Marcus Thigpen also saw carries Tuesday, May 21, in organized team activities (OTAs).

May 15 09:06 am

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller has been working out with San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore during the offseason. Gore, a fellow University of Miami alum, counseled Miller on lessons learned in the NFL. Miller said Tuesday, May 14, he is staying at 215 pounds, but adding more muscle mass.
Fantasy Impact: Miller is setup for a big second season as long as he can stay healthy.

Mar 19 10:32 am

Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said he needs to see consistent growth from RB Lamar Miller in 2013. In particular, he needs to be more disciplined in blitz pickup.

Mar 03 01:53 pm

The Miami Dolphins are not considering having RB Daniel Thomas competing with RB Lamar Miller for the starting running back job next season and are not expected to sign a veteran running back to compete with Miller. The team likes Miller's ability to make jump cut moves, which allows him to get to the second level in the team's zone blocking scheme.
Fantasy Impact: Miller seems setup for a lot of work in 2013 and could be a big-time fantasy back.

Feb 11 11:33 am

The Miami Dolphins believe RB Lamar Miller showed just a glimpse of his big-play potential this past season, and the team expects him to be an every-down back in 2013. 'Lamar really showed some great signs of really some explosive play opportunity,' general manager Jeff Ireland said. 'He kind of shoots out of the cannon when he hits the hole. He's got very good hands. I thought he did a very good job in his pass protection, which keeps him on the field all three downs.'
Fantasy Impact: Miller has a chance to play a huge role with the team in 2013. He is a player to keep an eye on this preseason.

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller likely would be the team's starting running back if impending free-agent RB Reggie Bush does not return.
Fantasy Impact: We'll know more in a few months but Miller would obviously have good value if he gets that starting job. He is a big-play back that could post good total yardage numbers.

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller said he hopes to be part of the running back rotation moving forward but has to show he can be a more physical runner and a better pass blocker. Miller has averaged 5.5 yards per carry so far this season in limited work.

Oct 09 08:30 pm

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller didn't play in a single offensive snap in Week 5, but he could be used more often with RB Daniel Thomas (concussion) leaving the game with his second concussion in five weeks. The team hasn't been happy with Miller's awareness on the field so far, though, and his pass blocking hasn't been good.

Sep 24 10:44 am

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller got all of his 48 rushing yards on nine third-quarter carries in Week 3. He did not receive a carry in the fourth quarter as the team opted with RB Daniel Thomas, even though he had a fumble. 'We wanted to give Lamar an opportunity once we thought Reggie couldn't play effectively,' head coach Joe Philbin said. 'We have two guys, we think a lot of both and we think they're both capable of playing. Some of it was dictated by situation, but some of it was spreading the carries around.'
Fantasy Impact: Miller will get his chances with Reggie Bush out but Daniel Thomas will be the starter.
