Kendre Miller Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Saints RB Kendre Miller is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bears with a knee injury. We'll pass along an update on the injury when we get one. Miller's absence should mean more work for RB Alvin Kamara. Rookie RB Devin Neal is also active today.

Update: Miller has been ruled out.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He was limited in practice all last week and listed as questionable before ultimately playing vs. the Patriots. We'll keep tabs on Kamara's status over the next few days. RB Kendre Miller remains a strong stash who would turn into a fantasy starter if Kamara misses time.

One week after getting out-carried by Kendre Miller, Alvin Kamara out-touched Miller 15-9 in the Saints' 25-19 Week 6 loss to the Patriots. Although Kamara played 2 fewer snaps in Week 6 than he did in Week 5, he played a higher percentage of plays versus the Patriots, temporarily quelling concerns that the Saints were looking to move on from their long-time veteran RB.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill reports that Kamara hurt the ankle in the first half of last week's game and was still dealing with some soreness today. It "isn’t anything serious," Underhill adds. "He’ll be day-to-day this week." It sounds like Kamara will be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but the ankle adds more risk to a player who's already trending down. RB Kendre Miller should be rostered in virtually all fantasy leagues at this point.

The New Orleans Saints secured their first victory of the season, defeating the turnover-plagued New York Giants 26-14. The Saints were outgained by the Giants but won the turnover battle 5-0. New Orleans attempted 30 rushes but only produced 88 yards on the ground (2.9 yards per carry). However, one interesting takeaway was the division of carries. For the first time this season, Kendre Miller out-carried Alvin Kamara 10-8.

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.
