Running Backs: Alfred Morris, Dallas Cowboys-$6,800; Lamar Miller, Houston Texans-$6,600

Morris had 27 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown in Week 13, as the Cowboys’ offense found some traction and was able to sustain the running game. Now he’ll get the New York Giants and the league’s worst run defense in Week 13.

The Giants have allowed 4.7 yards per carry to running backs over their last two games, with an individual 100-yard rusher against them in both games (Semaje Perine, Marshawn Lynch). Morris is in line to make it three in a row, with another 20-plus carry outing on Sunday.

Miller has been as unspectacular as he has been consistent this season, with between 50 and 75 rushing yards in all but one game thus far. But he has supplemented that with passing game involvement, as he has two receiving touchdowns over his last six games and at least three targets five times in that span.

If there’s a week to play Miller, in any fantasy format, this has to be the one. The San Francisco 49ers have the NFL’s 29th-ranked run defense, and they’ve allowed the second-most fantasy points to running  backs (27.8 per game, ESPN PPR scoring). With D’Onta Foreman (Achilles) out, Alfred Blue (concussion) banged up and Andre Ellington strictly a passing down guy, Miller should get plenty of touches on Sunday.
