The Miami Dolphins are getting Knowshon Moreno back soon from his injury and that has left fantasy football owners to start Lamar Miller and he has been a solid option this season and after signing LaMichael James in Week 5, Miller still should be the start pick for Week 6 and until Moreno can return to the lineup.
The Dolphins expect to get Moreno back in a few weeks and that will be a huge boost for the team and for fantasy owners after he was injured in the second game of the season. According to Pro Football Talk, Moreno expects to return by Week 8 for the Dolphins against the Jaguars and that means Lamar Miller, Damien Williams and LaMichael James will get work at RB until he comes back. Moreno dislocated his elbow in the second game of the season and that came after he signed with the Dolphins as their top free agent pick up this offseason.
Lamar Miller has picked things up with Moreno out and he is a strong option in Week 6 when the team comes back from their bye. Miller comes in after rushing for 64 yards on 12 carries and he also scored two touchdowns in the game and is on pace for his first 1k season with 1,108 yards. Miller will have his carries cut back when Moreno comes back, but for the time being he is a strong option to start. Miller has 277 yards this season along with 12 catches out of the backfield and along with Williams he has given the Dolphins a solid stable of backs and now James joins that group.
Miller had an up and down season last year as the starter while splitting time with Daniel Thomas and now he comes in as the starter with Moreno out. Miller had 709 yards in 16 games last season and he had two touchdowns and he already has matched that TD total and he should be getting more chances with Moreno out a few more weeks. James could cut in a bit, but he just arrived and he had just 12 carries last season for 60 yards with the 49ers. Williams has not been getting much either along with Daniel Thomas, as the two have combined for 10 rushes this season.
The Miami Dolphins will get Knowshon Moreno back soon and so will fantasy owners and with Week 5 a bye for the Fins, Week 6 should have Lamar Miller as the main start option over Damien Williams and LaMichael James, as he has played very well and should be a strong pickup option for fantasy owners until Moreno can return from his elbow injury in a few weeks.
The Dolphins come back after a bye week and that means Moreno will be even closer to coming back. Fantasy owners are hoping Moreno can be as good as he was last season, as he could be a spark for teams as they get near the playoffs. Miller has played well, but once he comes back, Moreno will be the starter for Miami.
