With Lamar Miller sidelined due to an ankle injury, Alfred Blue drew the start and had 21 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also added 4 receptions for 17 yards through the air.
Now that the Houston Texans have locked up the AFC South, they may elect to rest Miller against the Tennessee Titans, leaving Blue to carry the load once again.
If Miller does sit, Blue would draw a decent matchup against the Titans and their 16th-ranked run defense, according to numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics. In their last matchup against the Titans in Week 4, Blue and Miller combined to carry the ball 22 times for 101 yards.
