The Miami Dolphins are hoping to have Lamar Miller and Jordan Cameron active for Week 3 when the team takes on the Buffalo Bills. Both players returned to practice and they should be on track to play and this comes as DeVante Parker is still trying to get things going and for now he is not a fantasy football start option behind Jarvis Landry, Rishard Matthews and Greg Jennings.
The Dolphins are looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss against the Jaguars and having Miller in the lineup would be a huge boost. Miller has had a slow start to the season, but the Dolphins rushing game is better off with him starting over Damien Williams. According to James Walker, Miller and Cameron were both able to return to practice, although they participated in a limited capacity. Miller is dealing with an ankle issue and Cameron is suffering from a groin injury.
Miller had to leave the game last week with the injury and him practicing on Thursday even in a limited capacity gives him a chance to play against the Bills. Miller has only 67 rushing yards this season in two games, but he is leading the team and he will be the starter if he can go on Sunday. Cameron has been one of the top targets for Ryan Tannehill and he comes in with seven catches for 135 yards this season after signing in the offseason as a free agent.
Fantasy owners should keep an eye on Rishard Matthews this week, as he has been playing well and comes in after a strong game against the Jaguars. Matthews had six catches for 115 yards against the Jags on seven targets and he could be a sleeper until Parker gets things going. Parker told the Palm Beach Post that his foot is fully healed from surgery this summer, but he has not been able to get things going in the first two games, making just one catch for three yards.
Head coach Joe Philbin said that Parker needs time to get his rhythm back and that he should continue to get more reps each week. The Dolphins offensive line is dealing with some injuries, as Branden Albert suffered a hamstring injury last week and was forced to sit out of practice on Thursday. Albert could be in danger of missing the bills game and Pro Football Talk reports that he is "unsure" if he will be able to play. Losing Albert against a tough Bills defense could mean a long day for Ryan Tannehill.
Albert is coming back from knee surgery and the team may want to be cautious, as hamstring injuries can linger for players week to week. The Palm Beach Post reports that the injury may have been "related" to Albert coming back from surgery and playing "full time" after being out for months rehabbing. Jason Fox came into the game last week for Albert and could start in his place if he is out. The Dolphins are hoping to get things together in a divisional game against the 1-1 Bills.
