Lamar Miller Fantasy Stats

Free-agent running back Lamar Miller worked out with the Miami Dolphins on Monday. The Dolphins placed Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, and Phillip Lindsay on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Miller played with the Dolphins from 2012-2015 and recorded a 1,000-yard campaign in 2014. If signed, the 30-year-old would provide the Dolphins RB depth. Malcolm Brown (quad) returned to practice Monday and could return to action this week after missing six games with a quad injury. Gaskin, Ahmed, and Lindsay might not be cleared in time for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Brown, Miller (if signed), and Duke Johnson would lead Miami's backfield against New York. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation. Stay tuned.

The New Orleans Saints have signed running back Lamar Miller to their practice squad, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Miller spent training camp with the Washington Football Team and had a solid preseason, so the Saints get some much-needed running back depth with Tony Jones Jr. being on IR. If Miller is activated to the 53-man roster, he likely wouldn't see any noteworthy playing time behind Alvin Kamara. Devine Ozigbo and Dwayne Washington are currently slotted in as the No. 2 and No. 3 option in the backfield, so Miller can be disregarded in all fantasy leagues. A lot would need to unfold before the former Pro-Bowler would see any significant playing time.

The San Francisco 49ers are bringing running backs Duke Johnson and Lamar Miller in for visits after being hit with the injury bug just two weeks into the season. Trey Sermon (concussion) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) left Sunday's game and did not return, while Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) briefly exited and then later returned. Raheem Mostert (knee) was lost for the season, so it is no surprise that the 49ers will bring in some reinforcements. If either of the two sign a deal, it would make for a messy situation in the backfield. Neither will have any fantasy value once Sermon and Hasty are cleared to come back, so before adding either to your fantasy roster it might be best to figure out the timeline for their return to the lineup. Still, the 49ers are notorious for deploying a committee approach, so you likely won't be getting much production from Johnson or Miller, regardless of Sermon and Hasty being active.

The Washington Football Team released running back Lamar Miller on Sunday. The former Pro Bowler is coming off a productive preseason outing against the New England Patriots a few days ago, finishing with three carries for 15 yards and three catches for 10 yards and a touchdown. After suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2019, the 30-year-old hasn't done much, suiting up for just one game with Chicago in 2020. Nonetheless, although Miller has been a capable producer over the years, he likely won't land a consistent enough role moving ahead to be considered a viable fantasy option. However, there may be a time during the 2021-22 campaign where he could pop up as a streaming option due to injury, but he will need to find a team first for that to happen.

Washington Football Team running back Lamar Miller had a rock-solid outing on Thursday, finishing with three carries for 15 yards and three receptions for 10 yards and a touchdown. Miller is battling for the No. 3 role on the depth chart, but rookie Jaret Patterson was impressive and Peyton Barber once again showed his nose for the end zone in the team's first preseason game. Miller will need to continue producing to earn any sort of role in the Washington backfield, as he is not short of competition with the other running backs on the roster. Even if Miller makes the team, he has no fantasy appeal unless someone ahead of him gets hurt.

Washington Football Team running back Lamar Miller is having an impressive training camp as he battles for a roster spot. Zach Selby reports that Miller has been taking off for some nice runs and making plays during his practice reps. Miller will need to continue to impress if he wants to crack the Washington roster, as they will likely only have three running backs when the season starts. Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic are locked into the RB1 and RB2 roles, so Miller is battling with Peyton Barber, Jaret Patterson, and Jonathan Williams for the final spot on the depth chart. Even if Miller makes the final roster he won't possess any fantasy value unless Gibson or McKissic miss any time.

The Washington Football Team re-signed veteran running back Lamar Miller and veteran offensive tackle David Sharpe to undisclosed one-year deals on Wednesday. Miller, 29, played in just one game for the Chicago Bears in 2020 before being signed and then released by the New England Patriots. He latched on with Washington but never played in a game. Miller is recovered from his 2019 knee injury and will be looking to find some playing time behind starter Antonio Gibson. He's unlikely to have much fantasy appeal, if any. The Raiders traded Sharpe to Washington last year and he appeared in 10 games (two starts). The fourth-round pick by the Raiders in 2017 has appeared in 34 career games and has started six of them in four NFL seasons.

Chicago Bears running back Lamar Miller will officially be active for Monday's contest versus Minnesota, marking his first game back in the league since the 2018 campaign. Miller will have the opportunity to see carries out of the backfield with David Montgomery (concussion) out, and Chicago having just Cordarrelle Patterson and Ryan Nall at their disposal in the backfield alongside the veteran. While Miller was a Pro Bowler during the aforementioned '18 season, it's hard to see him carrying a considerable role so soon out of the gate with the Bears. His only path to season-long relevance is in situations where fantasy managers are desperate for a Monday night option, or for those DFS managers that are eyeing high-risk, high-reward plays. Should Montgomery's concussion continue to linger, keep an eye on Miller over the second half of the year as a possible streamer option.

Chicago Bears practice squad running back Lamar Miller is expected to be elevated to the active roster for Monday's meeting with the Vikings. With David Montgomery (concussion) out, the Bears are left with converted receiver Cordarrelle Patterson and the untested Ryan Nall at running back, so this move makes a lot of sense. Miller -- who hasn't played since 2018 after a preseason ACL tear in 2019 -- has been a strong runner in the past, but it's hard to see a path to fantasy relevance this week for him. Maybe he'll be a solid sleeper play in single-game DFS contests on Monday.

The Chicago Bears are expected to sign veteran running back Lamar Miller to their practice squad, according to a source. Miller, who has been working his way back from an ACL tear last August, will give Chicago some running back depth after they lost Tarik Cohen (knee) for the season last week. The 29-year-old hasn't played since 2018, but he was a Pro Bowler that year for Houston, running the ball 210 times for 973 yards and five touchdowns while also catching 25 passes for 163 yards and a TD. Miller should remain on waiver wires in most leagues, but he could eventually become fantasy relevant, as the Bears have only Ryan Nall and rookie Artavis Pierce behind David Montgomery right now.
