The Dolphins have fired OC Bill Lazor, according to Sports Illustrated's Thayer Evans.  Lazor appeared to have Miami's offense on track for a couple of games after HC Joe Philbin was canned, but the Fins have averaged just 15.6 points over the past 5 outings.  RB Lamar Miller has inexplicably carried just 12 carries over the last 2.  QB coach Zac Taylor will take over as the interim OC.  He's never called plays at any level.  Don't bank on significant improvement from the Miami offense down the stretch.

The forecast for today's Cowboys-Dolphins game calls for an 85% chance of rain, thunderstorms and winds of 10-14 mph.  It's not quite enough for us to alter our projections, but the sloppy conditions should be used as a tiebreaker if you're on the fence about using a Cowboy or Dolphin in your fantasy lineup.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller missed practice on Monday. Top beat writer Armando Salguero doesn’t believe there’s cause for concern here, but we’ll keep an eye on Miller’s health this week.

The Dolphins have fired HC Joe Philbin, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.  Philbin finishes his Miami career with a 24-28 record, including an ugly 1-3 start to 2015.  No word yet on whether any of the assistant coaches got the ax, but TE coach Dan Campbell is expected to step in as the interim HC.  From a fantasy perspective, we can only hope that the move leads to more commitment to RB Lamar Miller and the running game.  Miller has carried just 37 carries in 4 games, including 7 in each of the last 2.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Bills. At less than 100% in a tough matchup, consider Miller just a RB3 or flex.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (ankle) and TE Jordan Cameron (groin) are expected to play against the Bills today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.  Both guys put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday.  At less than 100% and in a tough matchup, Miller and Cameron are low-end fantasy starters this week.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (ankle) is officially questionable for this weekend's game against the Bills.  He put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and is expected to play, according to insider Armando Salguero.  At less than 100% in a tough matchup, consider Miller a shaky RB3 or flex.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (ankle) and TE Jordan Cameron (groin) returned to practice on Thursday.  Both will likely be listed as limited, but it gives them a shot to play against the Bills this weekend.  Check back tomorrow for another update.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.  Miami promoted RB Jonas Gray from the practice squad earlier in the day, which is a sign that the team is at least concerned that Miller won't be available for this weekend's game against the Bills.  Check back tomorrow for another update.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller suffered an ankle injury in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.  He's considered questionable to return.  RB Damien Williams is next up on Miami's depth chart.

Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi is currently 4th on the Dolphins depth chart, according to insider Andrew Abramson.  The rookie is behind Lamar Miller, Damien Williams and LaMichael James.  GM Mike Tannenbaum recently called out Ajayi's pass protection, and beat writers have noted issues with his decisiveness and ball-security.  We're still intriguing by the 6'0, 228-pounder's potential, but it doesn't sound like he's a candidate for a significant early-season role.  That also means that Lamar Miller's role as feature back is safe.  HC Joe Philbin recently suggested that Miller's workload could grow this season.  We just updated our projections for the Dolphins backfield.

Dolphins HC Joe Philbin says he's willing to give RB Lamar Miller more carries this year.  “I would tell you I’ve never been in a meeting where I’ve said to [offensive coordinator] Bill [Lazor] or [running backs coach] Jeff Nixon or the offensive line coaches have said ‘Lamar can’t carry the ball 20 times a game,'" Philbin said.  “I would tell you, if he’s cranking and he got it 24 times a game and he’s healthy and he’s fast and he’s explosive, it doesn’t bother me one bit."  File this under "believe it when we see it."  Miller totaled just 216 carries last year and topped 15 carries in just 4 of 16 games -- despite averaging a juicy 5.1 yards per carry.  Miami also added rookie RB Jay Ajayi this spring.  We have Miller projected to see 218 carries and 31 catches this season, which would make him a solid RB2.  If the Fins are truly committed to increasing his workload, he could be a top 10 RB.

The Dolphins snatched up RB Jay Ajayi in the 5th round of the 2015 NFL Draft.  Ajayi would have likely gone in the 2nd or 3rd round if not for concerns about a knee he injured back in 2011.  NFL Network's Mike Mayock hears Ajayi is dealing with a "bone-on-bone" condition that had him completely off some teams' boards.  It seems like more of a long-term concern, though.  Ajayi certainly looked fine while racking up 3,248 yards and 51 TDs on the ground and 72 catches for 757 yards and 5 more scores for Boise St. over the past 2 seasons.  Ajayi is a beast of a runner with plenty of burst and receiving ability.  We see lots of Steven Jackson in his game.  He joins a Dolphins backfield led by Lamar Miller, who's coming off an impressive 2014 campaign.  Miami seems hesitant to use him in a feature role, though, so there's work to be won for Ajayi.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller has put on 8 pounds this offseason, currently tipping the scales at 225 pounds.  Miller averaged 5.1 yards per carry last year but ranked just 14th among RBs with 216 totes.  He's gearing up for a bigger workload in 2015, but we hope the added weight doesn't hurt his speed and quickness.  It'll be something to monitor in training camp and preseason action.

The Jets have officially ruled DE Muhammad Wilkerson out for Monday's game against the Dolphins because of the toe injury that removed him early from Week 12's loss to Buffalo. It'll be the 1st game Wilkerson has lost to injury in his career. It also takes a top-10 D-lineman away from IDP owners and hurts a Jets run D that has ranked among the league's toughest matchups at full health. The Jets' D-line will at least have DE Sheldon Richardson, who is probable after dealing with a back injury this week. He put in a full practice Saturday.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (shoulder, knee) is active for today’s game against the Broncos. The shoulder isn’t a concern, but it’s unclear how big a factor the knee will be. Throw in a matchup with a Denver defense allowing just 3.0 yards per carry to RBs, and Miller is just a low-end fantasy starter.

CBS' Tracy Wolfson reports that Dolphins RB Lamar Miller will play against the Broncos today.  He's listed as questionable with shoulder and knee injuries.  The shoulder isn't a concern, but it's unclear if the knee will be a factor.  Miller also has a tough matchup vs. a Denver defense allowing just 3.0 yards per carry to RBs.  Consider him a low-end RB2 for Week 12.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos with shoulder and knee injuries.  We've known about the shoulder, and it's not a concern.  But the knee is new, which makes his Week 12 status a bit murkier.  We haven't heard any indication that Miller is in danger of missing Sunday's game, but owners would be wise to have an emergency option in place.  Miami-Denver kicks off at 4:25 pm ET.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (shoulder) is active for tonight's game against the Bills.  His workload is a major question mark, though.  Throw in a matchup vs. the league's #3 RB defense, and Miller is a shaky RB3 or flex for Week 11.  Bryce Brown is our top RB play tonight.

Dolphins RB Lamar Miller (shoulder) is probable for Thursday night's game against the Bills.  He'll play but is unlikely to see a full workload.  Miller played just 11 snaps and tallied 5 touches last weekend.  It makes him a risky Week 11 fantasy option, and one without much upside against Buffalo's 3rd-ranked RB defense.
