49ers | San Fran taking a look at two FA backs Mon Sep 20, 03:46 PM
Free-agent RBs Duke Johnson and Lamar Miller are scheduled to visit with the San Francisco 49ers soon, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers will be looking for running back help with both JaMycal Hasty (ankle) and Trey Sermon (concussion) banged up. Even Elijah Mitchell suffered a shoulder injury he came back from. Mitchell and Trenton Cannon are the only two healthy (ish) backs on the roster. Johnson and Miller have plenty of experience and would give the 49ers veteran depth if added. |

Football Team | Lamar Miller released Sun Aug 15, 08:07 AM
The Washington Football Team released RB Lamar Miller Sunday, Aug. 15, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Miller's release is one of the dominos needed for impressive UDFA rookie running back to make the team. It's possible Washington saw all they needed to from Patterson in the preseason opener to know that he's in their plans over Miller. |

Chicago Bears RB Lamar Miller is 'getting close' to moving from the practice squad to the main roster, according to head coach Matt Nagy.

Colts | Indianapolis giving Lamar Miller a look Mon Sep 14, 05:08 PM
Free-agent RB Lamar Miller worked out for the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, Sept. 14.
| Footballguys view: The Colts lost Marlon Mack to an Achilles' injury and are in the market for help at the position. They have a stacked running back room with rookie Jonathan Taylor, pass-catching back Nyheim Hines and reserve Jordan Wilkins. Miller worked with the Patriots in training camp but did not do enough to make the final roster. |

Bills | Lamar Miller visiting Bills Mon Sep 7, 10:17 AM
Free-agent RB Lamar Miller (Patriots) is visiting the Buffalo Bills Monday, Sept. 7.
| Footballguys view: The veteran was released by the Patriots over the weekend. The Bills already have a two-headed backfield with Devin Singletary and rookie Zack Moss. If added, Miller would just give the Bills (or any team) veteran depth. |

Patriots | Lamar Miller cut Sat Sep 5, 11:50 AM
New England Patriots RB Lamar Miller was released Saturday, Sept. 5.
| Footballguys view: Miller got a chance with the Patriots during training camp. When Sony Michel returned to practice it was a bad sign for Miller. The Patriots have a jam-packed backfield and there was no room for the former Texans starter. Miller will have to prove he's healthy and accept a job in a RBBC if he signs with another team. |

Patriots | Lamar Miller to return to practice Mon Aug 31, 06:24 PM
New England Patriots RB Lamar Miller (undisclosed) passed his physical Monday, Aug. 31, and has been activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: Miller was signed by the team a few weeks ago and now the pressure is on with the regular season opener less than two weeks away. The veteran back can play on all three downs and should work his way into a Patriots backfield rotation that includes Damien Harris, Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead. There is no guarantee that Miller makes the final cut with such a jam-packed backfield. |

Patriots | Lamar Miller contract terms Fri Aug 14, 02:43 PM
Updating previous report, New England Patriots RB Lamar Miller received a one-year, $1.05 million contract that includes $200,000 in guarantees with $1.5 million also available in 'achievable' incentives.
| Footballguys view: 200,000 doesn't ensure that Miller will make the team, and if Sony Michel rallies to be ready for work Week 1, the team would probably be happy to release him. Damien Harris will get the first shot to lead the backfield in practice with Miller on the PUP list. |

Texans | Lamar Miller signed, put on PUP Thu Aug 13, 05:31 PM
Updating a previous story, free-agent RB Lamar Miller (Texans) officially signed an undisclosed contract with the New England Patriots Thursday, Aug. 13, and was then put on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: Miller tore his ACL and MCL last August and has been on the road to recovery since then. The Patriots added veteran depth to the backfield with starter Sony Michel's availability for the start of the regular season in question. |

Patriots | Lamar Miller agrees to deal with Pats Mon Aug 10, 05:45 PM
Free-agent RB Lamar Miller (Texans) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the New England Patriots Monday, Aug. 10. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Damien Harris hype train is going to lose a few people upon this news. Miller didn't play in 2019 as he tore his ACL and MCL a year ago. The Patriots are getting quality veteran experience with this move and insurance in the event that Sony Michel struggles with injury. Michel is currently on the PUP list as he continues to recover from offseason foot surgery. |

NFL | Lamar Miller close to full strength Fri Jul 17, 12:16 PM

Texans | Lamar Miller working out Fri Jul 10, 09:11 AM
Free-agent RB Lamar Miller (knee) posted a video that showed him running and cutting after he missed the entire 2019 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Miller should be signed at some point this year as a veteran who will have a short ramp-up to NFL conditioning and assignments, but he might not get a call until there is an injury in camp or during the regular season. The Eagles might still be in the market for a veteran and should be on the short list of possible teams that would sign Miller without an injury in the backfield. |

Texans | Lamar Miller finished in Houston? Thu Mar 12, 09:45 PM
Houston Texans impending free-agent RB Lamar Miller (knee) isn't expected to receive an offer from the Texans during his free agency, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Miller tore his ACL and MCL last year in the preseason and has been recovering ever since then. A fourth-round pick in the 2012 NFL draft, Miller has a couple of 1,000-yard seasons under his belt and should get a bit of interest on the open market. He won't be a starter but some team could sign him for veteran depth. |

Texans | Duke Johnson to be lead back? Sat Aug 24, 10:13 PM
Houston Texans RB Duke Johnson will take over as the starting running back in the wake of RB Lamar Miller's (knee) knee injury, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, and McClain believes Johnson will 'get all the playing time he can handle.'
| Footballguys view: Johnson is worth as high as a fifth-round pick in PPR leagues now. The Texans will try to improve the situation behind him through an addition after final cuts, but with a big hole at offensive tackle and having already spent a fourth that could become a third on Johnson, they are unlikely to throw more draft picks at the position via trade. |

Texans | Possible ACL tear for Lamar Miller Sat Aug 24, 09:43 PM
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller (knee) may have suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys Saturday, Aug. 24, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for Miller and the Texans here. Duke Johnson is the next in line on the depth chart but the team might want to keep him more as a change-of-pace back. We'll see if they make a move for a free agent back or perhaps trade with another team to add depth at the position. |

Texans | Lamar Miller carted off Sat Aug 24, 07:22 PM
Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller (leg) was carted off the field after suffering an apparent leg injury during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 24.
| Footballguys view: This looks like a season-ending injury but of course we'll have to wait for confirmation. Duke Johnson is on the roster but the team might want to keep him as a satellite back. Damarea Crockett has talent and natural fluidity as a runner, but the team may not want to hand things over to the undrafted rookie from Missouri. The Texans could look at free agents or potentially a trade to add talent to the backfield. Stay tuned. |

Texans | Lamar Miller still top dog? Sun Jul 28, 08:16 PM
Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller is still the lead back, head coach Bill O'Brien said Sunday, July 28.
| Footballguys view: D'Onta Foreman could spell him on running downs and Josh Ferguson on passing downs, but it looks like he'll be the lead back again to start the season. Foreman could close the gap on early downs with good performances in September. Miller is a high floor/low ceiling option at current ADP, but is a solid pick for teams that only take one running back in their first five picks. |

Texans | Lamar Miller hoping to improve as pass catcher Sat Jun 29, 11:53 AM
Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller said that he has been concentrating on running routes on the outside of the backfield this offseason to improve as a pass catcher.
| Footballguys view: Miller is a viable pass catcher out of the backfield, but not a true mismatch creator in the passing game. If D'Onta Foreman regains form from his 2017 achilles tear, Miller's pass catching could keep him relevant in fantasy leagues. |
Lamar Miller player page
Texans | Lamar Miller looking fit Thu Jun 27, 01:35 PM
Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller has maintained his conditioning regimen and healthier diet from the 2018 offseason and is said to look even fitter and leaner this offseason. 'I'm feeling better this offseason,' Miller said. 'I think what I did in the offseason last year helped me be more explosive last year. So, I'm going to try and continue doing what I did last year and just try to help this team win any way possible.'
| Footballguys view: We've gone this road with Miller before, and he did have a very strong mid-season tear to help fantasy teams. D'Onta Foreman will get a chance to cut into Miller's workload, but Miller could hold him off for at least the first month or two of the season with good play. His ADP is very reasonable for a starting running back. |

Texans | Lamar Miller a possible cap casualty Fri Jan 25, 02:15 AM
Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller has only $1 million of guaranteed money left on his contract, and the team could elect to release him, according to Spotrac. The move would save more than $6 million in cap room.
| Footballguys view: The move would not be a surprising one given Miller's cap hit, age and injury history. The Texans could choose to move on from Miller and find another starting running back through the draft. They also have D'Onta Foreman waiting in the wings for a larger opportunity (if he stays healthy). |

Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller (ankle) is 'trending upwards' and has 'a chance' to play in Week 17 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to head coach Bill O'Brien.
| Footballguys view: Miller doesn't need to shake off the rust before the Texans make a postseason run. They might decide to give him another week of rest. That means Alfred Blue and D'Onta Foreman could get more action if Miller sits out the regular season finale. |

Texans | Lamar Miller to miss Week 16 Sat Dec 22, 12:04 PM
Houston Texans RB Lamar Miller (ankle) will not travel with the team for their Week 16 game and has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: The Texans have the goal of a deep postseason run, so giving Miller some rest is a good idea. They'll shut him down this week but he could return in Week 17 just to shake off some rust before the playoffs. While Miller is out, the Texans turn to Alfred Blue as the lead back. We could see D'Onta Foreman get some work too. |
