Kendre Miller

With Alvin Kamara dealing with a groin injury, Miller is expected to lead the New Orleans backfield in touches when the Saints visit Green Bay on Monday night. After being inactive in all but two games this season, Miller had 10 carries for 32 yards and a touchdown against the Giants in Week 14, and nine carries for 46 yards against the Commanders in Week 15. Still an unproven commodity at the NFL level, Miller had a wildly productive final college season at TCU. The question is whether subpar quarterback play will keep Miller from strutting his stuff. With Derek Carr recovering from hand and head injuries, the Saints are turning to fifth-round rookie Spencer Rattler, who was largely ineffective in three previous starts.

Kendre Miller carried the ball eight times for 15 yards while also hauling in both of his targets for 16 yards in the Saints' 34-0 Week 16 loss to the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Miller has struggled to make an impact out of the New Orleans backfield since returning from injury, rushing for less than 50 yards in each of the last three games. The running back remains a risky option in all formats if Alvin Kamara remains out ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
