Lamar Miller racks up 21 touches in Texans' Week 2 win
Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller ran for 61 yards on 18 carries, to go with 3 catches for 26 yards in Houston's 13-9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.
Both teams were stout defensively, so even though Miller recorded only 87 total yards, it was a solid effort in a game with just one touchdown. Miller was on the field for 49 (74.2%) snaps, so while D'Onta Foreman (17 snaps) rushed 12 times for 40 yards, Miller's workload was still much higher.
Miller recorded 10.2 FanDuel points after he was projected for 10.9 against the Bengals. He had -3.94 Rushing Net Expected Points, (NEP) meaning a league average running back would have scored 3.94 more points than Miller did if put in similar situations.
