He is banged up and going up against a good team on the road. PPR league.

Also, he has had trouble all year long scoring TD'sinside the 10.

My other Options are going up against rather weak defenses.

Bilal Powell - vs Ind
Dwayne Washington - vs NO

Any advice here?

I could see Powell doing well, but his ceiling isn't much higher than Miller's floor.
Miller will score 10 points without scoring. If he can find a way to score you'll get 20+ out of him easily. have a feeling GB will jump on them and the running game will get passed on by Houston, like it has most of the year. I'd still stick with Miller. you could get 15 from Powell, or you could 2.

I have Demarco on bye so I have to start Miller, or I could start Dion Lewis or Kenneth Dixon. What you think about them apples?

Huh?

Packers have a losing record and have been giving up a ton of points to RBs lately.

I'm benching him, but I have McCoy and Gordon to start.

I'm debating him and Doug Martin (definitely playing Gordon). Currently have Martin in. PPR

Would never bench Lamar Miller for Bilal Powell or Dwayne Washington

Dwayne Washington and Bilal Powell are two kind of garbage options. I guess they could have decent games, but it seems like kind of a long shot. Washington hasn't gone over 40 yards in a game all year. There is reason to worry about Lamar because of the injury, but the Texans are still going to feed him.

Yeah, I would easily go Miller over those two.

What about Starks vs. Miller in .5 PPR?

Benched him for Riddick and Ware, I would start him with your other options.

I'm wondering the same. I'm leaning to Theo Riddick in the dome against the Saints over a snowy Greenbay against Miller

Riddick has been good and the Lions feed him on the short passing game. If you are 0.5 or full PPR I would do it, hopefully in a shootout he can find the endzone for a big day.

Thanks, I'm a full PPR. Hopefully Stafford dumps him passes all game.
