Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas expected to play Sunday
If there are any carries left to give after the Miami Dolphins exhaust Reggie Bush
, rookie Daniel Thomas would like a piece beginning Sunday. He is listed as probable on the injury report after missing last week's game versus the New England Patriots with a hamstring injury. He practiced in full all of this week.
Fantasy Analysis:
Head coach Tony Sparano said earlier this week that he would like Bush and Thomas to split the reps at a 70-30 rate, with Bush getting the larger cut. Obviously, Thomas isn't starter potential in fantasy until something happens to Reggie. But after the Dolphins let him touch the ball 20 times in week one and will move forward with him getting such a healthy majority of the carries, it shouldn't be too long before an injury strikes him down. For this week, Bush has a tough test against Houston's good run defense. However, he's still a nice RB2 in point-per-reception leagues.
