Making his 2024 debut after hamstring woes sidelined him to begin the year, Miller cleaned up behind Alvin Kamara in a blowout loss. Pro Football Focus also charted him as out-snapping Jamaal Williams 20-12. With their season circling the drain and the skill corps laid low by injury, the Saints are going to need more out of their backfield, and Williams is on his last legs. Miller might slowly come into 12-team league relevance, but for now he's a purely speculative bench add.
Making his 2024 debut after hamstring woes sidelined him to begin the year, Miller didn't register a carry. Pro Football Focus did chart him as out-snapping Jamaal Williams 20-12 behind Alvin Kamara. With their season circling the drain and the skill corps laid low by injury, the Saints are going to need more out of their backfield, and Williams is on his last legs. Miller might slowly come into 12-team league relevance, but for now he's a purely speculative bench add.
Williams wasn't targeted in the passing game. Having failed to clear three carries since Week 2, Williams got out-snapped by a returning Kendre Miller this evening. It's possible not even an Alvin Kamara injury could make dead-legged Williams FLEX relevant at this point.
Miller was brought off injured reserve after getting in three full practices this week. His absence from the lineup is puzzling to say the least. Jamaal Williams will remain the RB2 for New Orleans this week.
Williams continues to give way to Alvin Kamara at an increased rate under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, with the latter pacing to lead the league in running back opportunities this season. What little fantasy value remained with Williams in New Orleans has quickly faded this season.
