Lamar Miller had a touch on 70.8 percent of his snaps in Week 7, the highest rate of any running back in the league.
Miller's touch per snap rate per week: 30.4%, 38.5%, 22.2%, 15.7%, 44.7%, 70.8%.
Miami had scored on just 23 percent (10 of 44) of their drives before the bye week, 31st in the league. Over the past two weeks, they've scored on 48 percent (11 of 23) of their possessions.
Miami had four scoring plays of 50 or more yards last week. They had just one all of 2014.
48.4 percent of Ryan Tannehill's points this season have come from passing touchdowns, the highest percentage in the league.
Per Pro Football Focus, 90.8 percent (256 yards) of Tannehill's 282 passing yards last week came on yards after the catch.
Last week, New England was the first team ever to win a game with single digit rushing attempts (nine) and fewer than 20 rushing yards (16) since 1945.
Rob Gronkowski has eight receptions of 25 yards or more, tied with Antonio Brown for the most in the league.
Tom Brady has thrown multiple touchdowns in six straight games and Tannehill in five, the two longest streaks going in the league.
Brandon LaFell returned last week and played 72 percent and seen 14.8 percent of the team targets, both third at receiver after Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola.

Trust: Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski (Miami has allowed good games to every decent tight end they’ve faced), Ryan Tannehill (New England has allowed 16 plus points to every opposing quarterback except Brandon Weeden)

Bust: Jordan Cameron (inefficient target that is fourth in line for touches), Danny Amendola (if Dion Lewis is out, then bump him up again as his involvement the past two weeks has had correlation to Lewis’ absence and limitation), LeGarrette Blount (with all of the offensive line injuries, it’s hard to see New England focusing on him, but the opportunity for a shot score is always looming in this offense), Brandon LaFell (there will better days than his first one back a week ago, but is still a boom/bust WR3 option in your lineups)

Reasonable Return: Lamar Miller (roasting the Titans and Texans is a little different than New England on the road, but the offensive philosophy has moved into more two tight end sets with the coaching change), Jarvis Landry (you know where the floor is, so if he’s going to find the end zone like he did last week, you’re set), Rishard Matthews (I anticipate the Miami passing game to be better than the run game in this one), Julian Edelman (has left numerous plays on the field the past two weeks, but the opportunities are still there), Dion Lewis (if he’s back, I’m going back to him as an RB2)
