It’s safe to say that without running back Lamar Miller, the Texans would have never have won the AFC South last season.
This is probably why the Texans are ranked 11th in NFL Spin Zone’s starting running back rankings.
Randy Gurzi wrote the following about Miller and the Texans:
Part of what kept them on top of their division was how Miller stepped up for them when they needed it. Osweiler couldn’t provide any spark, but Miller had 1,073 yards while averaging four yards per attempt and had five touchdowns as well.
He showed a lot of burst and explosion, but the struggles and injuries all along their offensive line hurt his consistency.
