The Dolphins' timeshare at running back continues unabated as we head towards the midweek point of the season, and the change in starting roles last week doesn't seem to have changed much. Though he got the start against the Bills, Daniel Thomas is still not much of a Fantasy option for Week 8 against the Patriots.
All three of our Fantasy experts have Thomas ranked higher among running backs this week than Lamar Miller, but none are particularly high on him; his averaging ranking is just 26th. The Patriots do provide a decent matchup for Thomas, having allowed 15.6 Fantasy points per game to opposing backs this season, including three touchdowns over the last three games.
Thomas' ascension to a bigger certainly makes him a more intriguing Fantasy option than he was even prior to the team's bye two weeks ago. For now, however, he remains more of a low-end starting option for Week 8 against the Patriots.
