Miami Dolphins RBs Mike Gillislee and Jonas Gray (knee) appear set to do battle for the No. 3 running back job behind RBs Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas.

We feel very good about their skill set. Obviously, we need to see them play a little more and solidify the position."

Dolphins | Comfortable with RB situation

Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:15:36 -0700

Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said the team is very comfortable with their stable of running backs despite the fact each has less than three years of NFL experience.

Dolphins | Lamar Miller in lead for lead back role

Thu, 30 May 2013 11:58:04 -0700

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 Tip: This is a battle that will likely play out through training camp and preseason games. Keep an eye on how the running backs are used in training camp and preseason. Also, Joe Philbin used a running back by committee approach in 2012, which hurt the value of all involved.

Dolphins | Daniel Thomas not conceding anything

Tue, 14 May 2013 21:04:28 -0700

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller is considered the front-runner for the starting running back job, although RB Daniel Thomas said Tuesday, May 14, that he shouldn't be overlooked. "I don't know why (Miller) would have the inside track," Thomas said. "It's an open competition. Everybody has a fair shot. The best player is going to get the job. Nobody has a leg up. I'm looking to be that guy. That's why I put the work in."

Fantasy Tip: Thomas worked in Arizona with other NFL players during the offseason, working to make his legs stronger after knee surgery. He averaged 3.6 yards per tote on 91 carries last season, while Miller averaged 4.9 on 51 carries.

Dolphins | Lamar Miller not expected to face competition

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 10:35:39 -0800

The Miami Dolphins are not considering having RB Daniel Thomas compete 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.

Dolphins | Lamar Miller moves up depth chart

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:28:30 -0800

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller has surpassed RB Daniel Thomas in the organization's eyes. Thomas' three fumbles this year were the most by a running back with fewer than 100 carries. Only four other backs had a lower per-carry average than Thomas' 3.6 yards, too.

Dolphins | Reggie Bush unlikely to return

Fri, 14 Dec 2012 10:03:05 -0800

Miami Dolphins RB Reggie Bush is unlikely to return to the team next season. He has little confidence that he'll be back in Miami for the 2013 season. "It's a little uneasy and unsure, but at the same time, exciting, because you know there are opportunities out there. I'd love to stay here, but part of me says, 'well, there's nothing been on the table quite yet.' I'm remaining optimistic," Bush said. He'll be a free agent after this season. RBs Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller wait in the wings if Bush isn't brought back.

Dolphins | Daniel Thomas takes backseat

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:16:54 -0800

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas had six carries for 37 yards in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts, and he added two receptions for 25 yards.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas had 18 touches in Week 8, but his role appeared to be scaled back somewhat. Still, he is a solid RB3 or 'flex' option in Week 10 against a Tennessee Titans rush defense which ranks 30th in the NFL, allowing 141.6 yards per game through nine contests.

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:46:28 -0700

Miami Dolphins RB Reggie Bush (knee) hopes to be much closer to 100 percent healthy following the team's Week 7 bye week. He said it's "the perfect time" to rest up and get healthy. RB Daniel Thomas (concussion) said he has been cleared by the medical staff and could return to the team in Week 8.

Dolphins | Becoming a passing team

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:45:48 -0700

The Miami Dolphins have quickly involved into a passing team thanks to opposing teams stacking up the line of scrimmage in order to force QB Ryan Tannehill to beat them through the air. Tannehill has responded in recent weeks with personal bests in completion percentage and passer rating, and he hasn't thrown an interception in the last two games. RB Reggie Bush (knee) is still not 100 percent, and RB Daniel Thomas (concussion) has missed two games this year with two separate concussions.

Dolphins | Lamar Miller in the doghouse

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:28:48 -0700

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller didn't play in a single offensive snap in Week 5, but he could be used more often with RB Daniel Thomas (concussion) leaving the game with his second concussion in five weeks. The team hasn't been happy with Miller's awareness on the field so far, though, and his pass blocking hasn't been good.

Dolphins | Backup RBs go nowhere

Sun, 30 Sep 2012 18:42:51 -0700

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas carried just four times for four yards in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he had one catch for six yards. RB Lamar Miller wasn't much better, posting 13 yards on four totes.

Fantasy Tip: As long as Reggie Bush is healthy, and his knee appeared to hold up against a tough defense, neither Thomas or Miller are worth starting in most fantasy leagues.

Dolphins | Lamar Miller without a fourth-quarter carry

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 06:08:10 -0700

Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller got all of his 48 rushing yards on nine third-quarter carries in Week 3. He did not receive a carry in the fourth quarter as the team opted with RB Daniel Thomas, even though he had a fumble. "We wanted to give Lamar an opportunity once we thought Reggie couldn't play effectively," head coach Joe Philbin said. "We have two guys, we think a lot of both and we think they're both capable of playing. Some of it was dictated by situation, but some of it was spreading the carries around."

Dolphins | Daniel Thomas posted 69 yards, TD

Sun, 23 Sep 2012 18:58:18 -0700

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas carried 19 times for a game-high 69 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 game against the New York Jets. He was fairly effective coming on for an injured RB Reggie Bush (knee). Thomas also added an 11-yard catch, and he lost a fumble.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas is certainly worth adding in all fantasy leagues heading into Week 4, although it sounds as if the injury to Bush isn't as bad as initially feared. Still, Thomas might be a decent low-end RB2 or 'flex' fantasy play in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals if Bush cannot go or is limited.
