Kendre Miller 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 have terminated the contract of RB Jamaal Williams. The move releases Williams ahead of the final year of his contract and saves the team a few million dollars in cap space. Williams signed with New Orleans as a free agent after racking up a league-leading 17 rushing TDs for the 2022 Lions. He'll turn 30 in April.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He comes up 50 yards short of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) is also out, leaving the backfield to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams. Edwards-Helaire is the best bet for touches but would be a desperation fantasy play. The Saints are 14-point underdogs.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He’ll come up 50 yards short of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) has been ruled out, so we’re looking at Clyde Edwards-Helaire as New Orleans’ likely lead back in the finale, with RBs Jordan Mims and Jamaal Williams behind him. Try to avoid this backfield in fantasy lineups. The Saints are 16.5-point underdogs with a 15-point implied total.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He needs 50 more rushing yards for his first 1,000-yard season and is pushing to get back for this weekend's finale vs. the Buccaneers. We'll track his status over the next few days. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) was also out on Wednesday.

Saints RB Kendre Miller left for a concussion check in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. His absence leaves New Orleans with RBs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jamaal Williams. We'll update Miller's status when we know more.

Update: Miller has been ruled out. It's his first documented concussion.

Saints RB Jordan Mims is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Raiders. RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who signed with New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, is active. Insider Nick Underhill expects a "real role" for Edwards-Helaire today. He's not a fantasy option, but expect the Saints to stick with a three-RB committee with Kendre Miller, Jamaal Williams, and Edwards-Helaire.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He didn’t practice all week, but interim HC Darren Rizzi believes Kamara has a chance to make it back for Week 18. He needs 50 rushing yards for his first 1,000-yard season. New Orleans will again roll with RBs Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams this weekend. Miller was a big bust last week but should get better game script against the Raiders on Sunday. He’s at least in play as a RB3 or Flex.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. New Orleans deployed a three-RB committee of Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams with Kamara out last week. It's a backfield to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

The Saints managed just 67 yards on 20 carries in Monday night's loss to the Packers. RB Kendre Miller drew a team-high 8 carries but turned them into just 15 yards (1.9 per rush). Most of that came on a single 10-yard run. QB Spencer Rattler easily led the team in rushing with 28 yards on 5 carries.

The Saints have ruled RB Alvin Kamara out for Monday night's game against the Packers because of his groin injury. That comes as no surprise and aligns with what HC Darren Rizzi indicated earlier this week.
