Lamar Miller appears to be a game time decision Saturday night considering the time of the game it kind of hems me up. I've lost Gordon & now seems I've lost Miller. I have Coleman,Montgomery and Powell. I guess my question is would you just go ahead and play the 3 I listed or should I wait on Miller's decision? If I wait and Miller is a No go then what Texans back should I grab to plug in for him?

I'm waiting to see what Miller says then playing Blue if he is a no go. I don't have the same options that you do though. I think that I would lean towards starting those guys.

Would Blue be the play over Hunt? Byron what are your other RBs?

I guess I could play Ty montgomery over Tyrell Williams in the WR2 spot. And still wait for Miller and go with Blue if Miller is out. But I like Tyrell matchup

I wouldn't sit Tyrell this week, especially to wait for Miller.

I really don't know what the split would be with Blue and Hunt. In the past it seems like they leaned on Blue more when the starter has been limited, but it's not like Blue has excelled with his opportunities. I wouldn't be surprised for the splits to go away from Blue. I'm just going with blue because that's been the play in the past.

I'm not waiting on Miller. Even if he is active, too much risk of him aggravating it and leaving. Going Martin and Montgomery instead.

I would roll with Ty Mont and Powell. Coleman scares me with a little if he gets a lack of touches.

Coleman would be my flex but he does scare me. I've played in the flex pretty much all year thoigh I don't have really anybody else to put at flex but he does scare me also

You are screwed if your hopes are tied to L Miller. Grow some balls and risk a another back! Its the 15th week and other teams will be using different options prepping for next year. No risk,no reward.

I am assuming this is your final week. If you want to start Miller, then do this.

Start Ty Mont and Powell at RB. Put Lamar Miller in the flex. On the bench, grab a guy that plays on either Saturday night, Sunday, or Monday. Now, your decision is Miller/random flex play or Coleman. The choice is yours.

Yes it's the championship. I guess what's in mind is and I've always heard you play the guys that got you there don't get cute in the playoffs. Obviously this is a bit different because of injuries not just tinkering with my lineup. But I'm to the point I don't think I can wait for him. I've grabbed Blue just cause I could and my only other late game options would Rex Burkhead or Dwayne Washington and that's not happening.

If there is a guy near Coleman's level, then maybe try the Miller/Back up plan. Don't start a fricking Rex Burkhead.

Just keep an eye on Miller until the early games and if nothing concrete, then roll with Tevin.
