Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill confirmed RB Lamar Miller is the starting running back. 'Lamar Miller is doing a great job this offseason, really has a great handle on the offense and he's doing a great job protecting,' Tannehill said. 'They can (all) run the ball but being able to understand the pass game, understand the checkdowns and where they're protecting really makes a big difference and makes me more comfortable.'
Fantasy Impact: Nothing too new here. Miller is a good breakout candidate for this coming season.

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller has a leg up on the competition to start at running back in 2013 although Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin considers the competition wide open, and Daniel Thomas, Mike Gillislee, Jonas Gray and Marcus Thigpen also are all competing for the starting job.
Fantasy Impact: Miller will have to really struggle to lose the starting job.
Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller worked predominantly with the first-team offense, but RBs Daniel Thomas, Mike Gillislee and Marcus Thigpen also saw carries Tuesday, May 21, in organized team activities (OTAs).
Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller has been working out with San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore during the offseason. Gore, a fellow University of Miami alum, counseled Miller on lessons learned in the NFL. Miller said Tuesday, May 14, he is staying at 215 pounds, but adding more muscle mass.
Fantasy Impact: Miller is setup for a big second season as long as he can stay healthy.
Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said he needs to see consistent growth from RB Lamar Miller in 2013. In particular, he needs to be more disciplined in blitz pickup.

The Miami Dolphins are not considering having RB Daniel Thomas competing with RB Lamar Miller for the starting running back job next season and are not expected to sign a veteran running back to compete with Miller. The team likes Miller's ability to make jump cut moves, which allows him to get to the second level in the team's zone blocking scheme.
Fantasy Impact: Miller seems setup for a lot of work in 2013 and could be a big-time fantasy back.

The Miami Dolphins believe RB Lamar Miller showed just a glimpse of his big-play potential this past season, and the team expects him to be an every-down back in 2013. 'Lamar really showed some great signs of really some explosive play opportunity,' general manager Jeff Ireland said. 'He kind of shoots out of the cannon when he hits the hole. He's got very good hands. I thought he did a very good job in his pass protection, which keeps him on the field all three downs.'
Fantasy Impact: Miller has a chance to play a huge role with the team in 2013. He is a player to keep an eye on this preseason.

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller likely would be the team's starting running back if impending free-agent RB Reggie Bush does not return.
Fantasy Impact: We'll know more in a few months but Miller would obviously have good value if he gets that starting job. He is a big-play back that could post good total yardage numbers.
