The 10 Worst Starting Running Backs From the 2016 NFL Season
Based on numberFire's Rushing Success Rate metric, these are last season's worst-performing starting running backs.

Lamar Miller, Houston Texans

Rushing Success Rate: 35.45% (268 rushes, 95 successes)

A borderline first-round pick in redraft formats, Lamar Miller seemed to be the perfect fit for Bill O’Brien’s zone-blocking scheme. But concerns about Miller’s ability to hold up under a bell-cow type workload were real as he seemed to wear down as the season went on, missing two games due to injury near the end of the season.

You can’t really blame him for his lack of touchdown scoring, (he scored six total) because the Houston Texans were one of the worst red zone scoring teams in the NFL. Thanks, Brock Osweiler, and good riddance.
