Daniel Thomas was edged out by Lamar Miller for the featured back spot in Miami, but neither took a step forward Sunday in Cleveland. Thomas actually outplayed Miller despite rushing for just 14 yards on eight carries in the 23-10 win.
Thomas did manage to earn some Fantasy points with a 1-yard touchdown for the Dolphins midway through the fourth quarter. He played more in the second half than did Miller.
He will have a chance to make a greater impact next Sunday against the Colts, who gave up just 50 yards to Oakland running backs in their season opener.
