Devin Neal Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Saints RB Kendre Miller out-snapped RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire 11 to four with the first-team offense in the team's preseason finale. RBs Cam Akers and Devin Neal received no first-team reps. Miller appears locked in as the No. 2 RB heading into Week 1.

Saints RB Devin Neal will miss "a couple weeks" with a hamstring injury, per HC Kellen Moore. Neal, a Round 6 rookie, was in a battle for the No. 2 RB job behind Alvin Kamara. His absence raises the late-round appeal of Kendre Miller, who'll still have to beat out Clyde Edwards-Helaire and others for the handcuff role.

Saints beat writer Ross Jackson calls Saints RB Kendre Miller a "great fit" for new HC Kellen Moore’s offense.

The Saints selected Kansas RB Devin Neal with the 184th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Neal drew college interest as a football and baseball player. He broke out as a true freshman on the gridiron, entering the starting lineup in Week 2 and finishing with 159-705-8. He followed up that season with three straight 1,000+ yard campaigns for the Jayhawks. He added 16 TDs on the ground in each of the past two seasons. Neal checks a lot of boxes: consistent rushing production, promising receiving tape, NFL size, and make-you-miss ability. His vision and rushing tempo also pop on film. At the NFL Combine, he showed below-average speed with a 4.58 forty time and a 1.59 ten-yard split. He excelled in the jumps, though, with a 37.5” broad and a 124" vertical.
