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.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. News
Saturday, August 22, 5:08 PM
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. "could be a trade candidate ahead of final cuts," according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com. A fourth-round pick of the Giants in 2024, Tracy Jr. has topped 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL seasons. However, New York has a new coaching staff in place under John Harbaugh heading into 2026, and the team has a trio of capable running back options outside of Tracy Jr. in Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, and Devin Singletary. Tracy Jr. has also had a rough preseason so far. He whiffed on a block that led to a big hit on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart in the team's first game and fumbled in New York's second game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. Given the backfield depth in New York, Tracy Jr.'s fantasy value would likely be improved by a move elsewhere.
