If you can find a hotter running back than Lamar Miller when it comes to fantasy football, I’d love to see it. Chances are you can’t, because Miller has been an absolute monster since Dan Campbell took over as head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
Miller has averaged more than 20 points per game over the last five weeks, and he’s become more involved in Miami’s passing game than ever before. Miller also has a juicy matchup against the Dallas Cowboys who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season in PPR leagues.
A versatile running back who can do damage in the passing game is always pleasant to see if you own him in fantasy football because it alleviates the stress of having to rely on him solely from the ground game. Miller is sure to continue his dominance at home against Dallas.

Murray still finished with 77 yards, and more importantly, didn’t fumble the football. Murray is still averaging more than 10 points per game since the Raiders returned from their bye week to go along with 5.3 yards per carry.
He’s been so hard to bring down this year and even though he’s only scored three rushing touchdowns, Murray still finds a way to make his owners happy. Now, he’ll face a Detroit Lions defense that is allowing 124 rushing yards per game. The Lions also lead the league with 14 rushing touchdowns allowed, which means Murray has a great chance of finding the endzone this week.
Devonta Freeman has been the best running back in fantasy football this year, even with the uncertainty that he would even be the starter in Atlanta once the season began. Freeman’s only single-digit outing this year was against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, and he’s amassed double-digit points in every week since.
Freeman was held in check on the ground against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9, but still finished with 67 receiving yards and a touchdown. He’ been the real deal all season, and now he’ll face an Indianapolis Colts defense that allows 115 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown per week.
