Lamar Miller

Texans will have Lamar Miller (shoulder) active for Week 8

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (shoulder) will be active for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions, the Houston Chronicle's John McClain reports.

What It Means:

It's unclear exactly how much Miller will play, but it can only be a good sign that the Texans' doctors cleared him for football action. Even in a plus matchup, Miller looks like a boom-or-bust play in season-long leagues.

Miller is the 20th-best fantasy option this week at running back, with 56 rushing yards and 0.43 touchdowns on 13 carries, as well as 2 receptions for 17 yards.
