Alvin Kamara News
Monday, August 24, 5:27 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller expects a larger role following veteran Alvin Kamara's injury. Kamara sprained his MCL during a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams and is expected to miss time, possibly into the regular season. Miller told the media on Monday, "It's always a next-man-up mentality. I have a bigger role now that AK is down, so I'm going to just take that and try to run with it." In three seasons, Miller has totaled 677 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns in 21 career games, though he has missed 30 games, including several hamstring injuries and a torn ACL he suffered in Week 7 last season. With former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne expected to handle most of the work in the backfield, Miller profiles as an early-season handcuff until Kamara returns. Fantasy managers should look to other options instead of Miller in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

Cam Skattebo News
Tuesday, August 25, 9:41 AM
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo has another strong sign pointing toward him opening the season at the front of the backfield. Jordan Raanan reports that Skattebo is listed alone as the RB1 on New York's unofficial depth chart for the preseason finale against the Jets. Tyrone Tracy Jr., Najee Harris and Devin Singletary are all grouped together with "OR" designations on the next line. Skattebo has also been the first back up most days in practice, so the depth chart lines up with how the Giants have been using him this summer. He rushed for 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries as a rookie, adding 24 catches for 207 yards and two more scores before his season ended after eight games. The Giants still have plenty to sort out behind him, and an unofficial depth chart doesn't guarantee a featured workload. For now, though, Skattebo is the one sitting in the RB1 spot.
