Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) has been activated from IR, putting him on track to make his 2024 debut against the Bucs on Sunday. Ace beat writer Nick Underhill does not expect Miller to have a "significant role out of the gates." But, if he can stay healthy, Miller is plenty capable of emerging as New Orleans' No. 2 RB -- and the Alvin Kamara handcuff. Miller is worth stashing now in deeper fantasy leagues.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a hip pointer and rib injury, HC Dennis Allen said. Kamara was able to play through the issues in the Week 3 loss to the Eagles but shouldn't be considered a lock to play vs. the Falcons on Sunday.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 26 times in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That tied for his third-most carries in a game for his career. Kamara's 87 rushing yards came out to just 3.3 per carry. He added 40 receiving yards on three catches (among 3 targets). Kamara's 3 receptions ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He should be out of all Week 3 fantasy lineups. Hill has played 57% of his snaps in the backfield this season, totaling eight carries and three targets. His absence is a bigger boost to New Orleans' RBs than pass-catchers.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara scored four times in a 44-19 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday. He delivered 115 yards and 3 TDs on 20 carries and added a 57-yard catch-and-run TD as part of a 2-65-1 receiving line.
Saints RB Kendre Miller will start the season on the IR list with the hamstring injury he suffered during training camp. Miller will miss at least the first four weeks of the season and could remain on IR longer if his injury persists.
Klint Kubiak is expected to be named the Saints' new OC, according to multiple reports. Kubiak is currently the 49ers' passing-game coordinator, so the move can't become official until after the Super Bowl. The 36-year-old son of Gary Kubiak has 10 seasons of NFL coaching experience. That includes serving as Vikings OC back in 2021. That team ranked 12th in total yards and 14th in points, ranking near the middle of the pack in run/pass split.
Saints rookie RB Kendre Miller ran for 73 yards and a TD on 13 carries in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He trailed Jamaal Williams by a carry but beat the veteran by 47 yards (5.6 per carry vs. 1.9). Miller also trailed Williams in receiving, catching his only target for 6 yards. Williams caught all three of his targets but totaled only 8 yards. Williams closes out a season that saw him fall well short of his previous career lows in yards per carry, yards per catch, and rushing success rate -- among other categories. He has two more years on his contract, with 2024 likely locked in because of the potential dead money if New Orleans were to dump him. But Miller looks like the higher-upside player and could simply pass Williams on the depth chart this offseason. Miller endured a quiet rookie campaign thanks to a series of injuries. But that could make him a dynasty "buy" this offseason. Don't be afraid to price-check the 2023 third-round NFL Draft pick. And keep Miller in mind as a potential later-round value in early 2024 best ball drafting.
