Emma Johnson views Kendre Miller as a non-factor in fantasy leagues unless they are extremely deep, citing his lack of involvement in the passing game and the fact that he is splitting snaps with others while Alvin Kamara is sidelined.

Miller matched Travis Etienne in carries in Week 1 and was a real thorn in his side early in the game. While he lacks standalone upside, he is a good handcuff with potential to carve out 10-12 carries per week and grow his role in the Jaguars offense.

Kendre Miller is a recommended waiver add who scored nine points with a goal-line touchdown last week. The source views him as a direct positional backup with goal-line upside and prefers him over Alvin Kamara for fantasy purposes.

Kendre Miller saw 29% of offensive snaps in Week 1, but this was inflated by an unusually high 86-play volume for the Saints. His role is expected to diminish once Alvin Kamara returns, making him a stash only for deeper leagues in the event of future injuries.

Split carries evenly with Travis Etienne (nine carries each) in week 1 and secured red zone touches and a touchdown, signaling the Saints may not be satisfied with Etienne as the lead back. This committee approach limits individual upside but indicates potential role expansion if Etienne falters.

Kendre Miller (NO) scored the Saints' first TD on nine carries for 30 yards and split the backfield nearly evenly with Travis Etienne, but he played just 26 of New Orleans' 90 snaps and Alvin Kamara is due back. A deep-league dart, not a priority. FAAB bid: 3-5%.

Saints RB Kendre Miller, the forgotten man after the team signed Travis Etienne and retained Alvin Kamara, surprisingly made more than a cameo in Week 1. The 6-foot, 220-pound fourth-year back matched Etienne's nine carries for 30 rushing yards and punched in the team's only rushing score. Miller handled 57% of short-down-and-distance snaps versus 43% for Etienne. He appears healthy now and is next in line for New Orleans' early-down and goal-line role should anything happen to Etienne; worth monitoring for emergency flex-play status if he continues stealing goal-line work.

Kendre Miller is a recommended waiver wire pickup who saw 29% of snaps in Week 1 and handled carries inside the 10-yard line. While he lacks a passing game role, he could function similarly to Jordan Mason as a touchdown-dependent back. If there is an injury in the Saints' backfield, Miller could be the primary beneficiary and see a significant increase in opportunities.

Nine carries in Week 1, matching Travis Etienne Jr.'s carry total despite Etienne being the supposed bellcow back.

Miller got multiple red-zone touches and converted one for a touchdown in the Saints' Week 1 comeback, though he played just 26 snaps compared to Travis Etienne's 50. The larger concern is that Etienne may be on uneven footing if Alvin Kamara returns and usurps him as a pass catcher. Miller lacks longevity as a fantasy asset given Kamara's eventual return, but Baltimore's defense was gashed by the rushing attack in Week 1, and the Saints may rely on the ground game in Week 2 to protect against another fourth-quarter comeback scenario.

Miller split 18 rushing attempts with starter Travis Etienne Jr. in Week 1, scoring on a short touchdown run; however, this split cannot be assumed to continue for Week 2 or beyond, and Alvin Kamara (knee) might play this month, further complicating the backfield.

Kendre Miller is a priority waiver wire add and potential 'dart throw' for fantasy rosters. Despite his history of injury issues, the source highlights strong preseason vibes and his Week 1 production (9 carries, 30 yards, 1 TD), suggesting a 4% FAAB bid in FFPC formats, though advises against overspending.

Miller split carries evenly with Travis Etienne in Week 1, both seeing nine attempts, with Miller punching in a red zone score. Even third-string RB CJ Donaldson got two carries plus two targets. The source notes this backfield will get messier when Alvin Kamara returns, which should happen next week. Miller is worth an add in deeper leagues, but his value will likely take a hit in Week 2.

Miller had nine carries for 30 yards and scored the Saints' first touchdown in Week 1 overtime loss to Lions, matching Travis Etienne's carry count despite Etienne being a big-money free agent. However, Miller played only 26 of 90 offensive snaps, and Alvin Kamara could return in Week 2 from MCL sprain, cutting into Miller's snaps. He's a defensible dart throw in deep leagues but not poised to steal anyone's job.

Kendre Miller siphoned 100% of the red-zone rush attempts despite playing only 29.1% of the snaps, matching Travis Etienne's 39.1% of the rush attempts overall. This elevated red-zone role came with Alvin Kamara ruled out, establishing Miller as the preferred back in high-leverage situations.

Miller played a legitimate role in the Saints backfield in Week 1, taking 9 of 21 total RB carries for 30 yards and 2 of 3 red-zone carries with a touchdown. The source notes he's a speculative add with Alvin Kamara set to potentially return next week, but could provide real value if Travis Etienne were to miss time.

Miller recorded 9 carries, 0 receptions, 30 total yards, and 3.0 fantasy points in Week 1, surprisingly splitting work with Travis Etienne Jr. despite Etienne's $48 million commitment to the Saints. Most notably, Miller received the red-zone score, which the source identifies as concerning for Etienne's TD upside. Miller remains a secondary option but has shown enough to warrant monitoring.
