Miller had 13 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for 11 yards on three targets, in Monday's 16-13 win over the Jets.
Miller dominated the workload, while Daniel Thomas recorded just one carry and one reception for a combined eight yards. Miller got the only goal-line carry, which he took for a four-yard touchdown to tie the game in the fourth quarter. It was otherwise a rather unremarkable night for the running back, as his numbers largely fell in line with expectations. He has mostly done a nice job this season, and while there's something to be said for consistency, he's yet to produce a truly big game. Next up for the Dolphins is a matchup with the Ravens that should heavily favor the passing game.
Mon Dec 1 201419:08Miller (knee) listed as active for Monday's game against Jets
Miller (knee) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Jets.
While the Jets' D has been solid against the run allowing an average of 86.2 YPG on the ground to date -- Miller will take aim at the unit Monday, minus the services of key cog, Muhammad Wilkerson.

Miller (shoulder) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Jets.
Miller's availability was never in question, as he played through the injury last Sunday and was able to practice in full throughout the week. He'll face a Jets defensive Sunday that currently ranks fourth against the run (86.2 YPG) but will be without the services of Muhammed Wilkerson (toe) in Week 13.

Miller (shoulder/knee) carried the ball 12 times for 59 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 39-36 loss at Denver.
Miller was questionable heading into the game, but looked good at times, including a nice 22-yard scamper at one point. No other Dolphins's runner had more than three carries, although Daniel Thomas scored a short touchdown. Miller will have another tough test next week against a solid Jets' rush defense.

Miller (shoulder/knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
He's out there if you need him this week, with Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams on hand to spell Miller if either his knee or shoulder issue impair him at all as Sunday's game progresses.
Fri Nov 21 201416:44Though Miller (shoulder/knee) listed as questionable for Sunday'...
Though Miller (shoulder/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that the running back is expected to play in the contest.
With the Dolphins kicking off at 4:25 ET this week, it's a plus to see an optimistic nugget like this one from the Herald, though we'd still advise verifying Miller's status as Sunday's contest approaches, to be sure.

Miller (shoulder/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Miller, who was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, had a knee ailment added to his existing shoulder issue on Friday's injury report. At this stage, we haven't heard anything to suggest that Miller's Week 12 status is in danger, but given that he is one of just two Dolphins listed as questionable this week, his status is worth monitoring and verifying as Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff approaches. Meanwhile, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald relays that the running back expects to play Sunday, despite his questionable designation.
Thu Nov 20 201415:58Miller (shoulder) listed as limited at practice Thursday
Miller (shoulder) was listed as limited at practice Thursday, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
We'll revisit Miller's status Friday, but it's possible that his transition from a full practice on Wednesday to a limited session Thursday could be maintenance-related, as opposed to indicative of a setback with his shoulder injury.
Fri Nov 14 201401:23Lamar Miller: (Shoulder) Dominates Workload
Miller (shoulder) had 15 carries for 86 yards and two catches for 12 yards in Thursday's 22-9 win over the Bills.
After recording just five touches against the Lions on Sunday, Miller handled most of the workload Thursday night, getting 17 of his team's 24 running-back touches. Damian Williams had two receptions and no carries, while Daniel Thomas had no receptions and five carries, but with three of those totes coming on the meaningless final drive. Miller re-established his health, making him far and away the top option in Miami's backfield for a difficult Week 12 game in Denver.

Miller (shoulder) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Bills.
Miller is out there if you need him this week, but how much work he will see remains to be seen and it's possible that he could continue to work in a time-share with Damien Williams and Daniel Thomas on Thursday, as he works through a shoulder issue.
Wed Nov 12 201416:22Miller (shoulder) listed as probable for Thursday's game against...
Miller (shoulder) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Bills, the Palm Beach Post reports.
Though limited in practice this week, the probable designation confirms that Miller is on track to play Thursday, but it remains to be seen how close to a full workload he'll see after recording just four carries this past Sunday, while sharing work in the Miami backfield with Damien Williams and Daniel Thomas.
Tue Nov 11 201415:02Lamar Miller: (Shoulder) Limited At Tuesday's Practice
Miller (shoulder) was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.
Miller said Monday that he expects to play Thursday against the Bills, but he has been limited at each of the Dolphins' first two days of practice this week. Wednesday's injury report will provide an update on Miller's status for Thursday's game, but with a short week of practice, Miller's workload could be monitored again like it was in Week 10.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald relays that Miller says his shoulder feels good and that the running back plans to play Thursday against the Bills.
That said, Miller's Week 11 status remains worth monitoring, given that the Dolphins added LaMichael James to their backfield mix on Monday. After being limited this past Sunday, seeing just 11 snaps, it's not hard to imagine Miller remaining in a Thursday RB time-share in the Dolphins' short week, assuming he suits up.
Mon Nov 10 201414:25Miller
Miller, who recorded a season-low four carries in Sunday's loss to Detroit, is slated to practice this week and appears to be on track to play against the Bills on Thursday, barring any setbacks, the Miami Herald reports.
Though Miller saw limited action this past Sunday as he was bouncing back from a left AC joint sprain, the report relays that the running back did not re-injure his shoulder in Week 10's contest. Miller's status remains worth monitoring in the coming days, but although the Dolphins added LaMichael James to their backfield mix on Monday, the report suggests that the move is not indicative of a Miller setback.
Sun Nov 9 201417:01Miller (shoulder) had four carries for 10 rushing yards and one ...
Miller (shoulder) had four carries for 10 rushing yards and one catch on two targets for minus-four receiving yards Sunday against the Lions.
There was talk earlier in the weekend that Miller could be limited Sunday due to his shoulder injury, and that certainly seemed to be the case, with Damien Williams rushing seven times for 34 yards and Daniel Thomas gaining 14 yards on five carries. The Lions went out to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter, and Miami ended up throwing the ball 19 more times than they threw, which limited Miller's fantasy potential against the league's top-ranked defense. Up next is a tough Week 11 matchup against a Bills defense allowing the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game this season.

Miller (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Miller is out there if you need him Sunday against a rugged Detroit defense that is allowing an average of 74 rushing yards per game to date, though per Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald, Miller could be limited some by his shoulder issue on Sunday, with Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams also on hand to see work in the Dolphins' backfield in such a scenario.
Sat Nov 8 201420:52Miller (shoulder) expected to be limited versus Lions on Sunday
Miller (shoulder) is expected to be limited versus the Lions on Sunday, according to the Miami Herald's Adam Beasley.
What the Dolphins definition of limited is will determine his value to fantasy players but perhaps you might go in a different direction as even if a healthy Miller could have problems versus the Lions.

Miller (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after practicing in a limited fashion again Friday, the Dolphins' official site reports.
Miller's continued practice participation this week would seem to bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday, though as one of five players listed as questionable by the Dolphins this week, his status is definitely worth tracking in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. If Miller ends up sitting, or is limited at all this weekend, Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams are next up for carries in the Miami backfield, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Miller's (shoulder) participation in practice this week has been significantly limited, according to Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel.
While Kelly relays some concern with regard to Miller's status for Sunday's game against the Lions, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald is more optimistic, suggesting that barring an unforeseen setback, he expects the running back to play this weekend. Either way, we'll continue to monitor Miller's status in advance of Sunday's contest, which fortunately for his fantasy owners, is a 1:00 ET kickoff.

Miller (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, the Dolphins' official site reports.
Miller left Week 9's game against the Chargers in the third quarter with a left AC joint sprain, but his presence at practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Lions.
