Who Should I Start? Jerome Ford or Kendre Miller

The Athletic's Daniel Popper speculates that if the Los Angeles Chargers explore the trade market at running back with Najee Harris (Achilles) done for the year and rookie first-rounder Omarion Hampton (ankle) on Injured Reserve, two potential options could be New York Jets RB Breece Hall and the Cleveland Browns' Jerome Ford. Both Hall and Ford are on expiring deals and could bring the Bolts a compensatory draft pick if they make it to free agency in 2026. Even when Hampton returns from IR, L.A. is going to need a second back to pair with him as a team with a run-first identity under offensive coordinator Greg Roman. At least for Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal are expected to share the backfield equally, giving them both flex appeal in deeper fantasy leagues. How aggressive the Chargers are on bringing in an outside RB will depend on how Haskins and Vidal fare in the coming weeks.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller rushed 10 times for 41 yards in the 26-14 victory over the Giants. He out-carried starting running back Alvin Kamara 10-8 but was nearly unused in the passing game, catching just one pass for eight yards on one target. Miller's snap count continues to climb, hitting a season-high 39% share. He is a low-end RB3/Flex option for Week 6, but with trade rumors surrounding Kamara and other Saints veterans, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Miller's workload moving forward.
