Why This Is Bold: As part of a committee, Lamar Miller has cleared just 100 scrimmage yards once and was outcarried by D'Onta Foreman last week for the first time this season.

Why This Will Happen: The Houston Texans seem to realize that Tom Savage isn't a particularly capable quarterback, leaning on the running game to hide his deficiencies. Houston will most likely try to establish the run early against a good Los Angeles Rams team.

The way to attack the Rams is on the ground. Los Angeles ranks 27th in the NFL Adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play. (NEP, for those who are unaware, is numberFire's in-house efficiency metric. For more about NEP, visit our glossary.)

The Rams are heavy favorites in this game, and the game script will not be in Houston's favor. Miller is the best option on passing downs in the Texans backfield and could rack up receptions late in this contest.
