Who Should I Start? Kendre Miller or Bhayshul Tuten

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and will miss the rest of the year, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. It's a tough blow for Miller and for the Saints' backfield depth behind starter Alvin Kamara. The 23-year-old had ascended into the biggest role of his career in his third year in the league as the direct backup to Kamara, carrying the ball 47 times for 193 yards (career-best 4.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown while adding five catches on five targets for 30 yards as a pass-catcher through seven games. Miller has been plagued by the injury bug since entering the NFL as a third-rounder in 2023, as he missed 20 of a possible 34 games in his first two seasons. With Miller now sidelined until next year, rookie Devin Neal becomes the primary handcuff option for Kamara's fantasy managers.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had exploded for 74 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 15 carries. The rookie was in the middle of the best game of his young career. At least temporarily, it appeared as though he had supplanted Travis Etienne Jr. as the primary running back in Jacksonville. With Tuten currently sidelined, Etienne will check back into the game as the Jaguars' lead back. Given that the Jaguars lead by four possessions in the fourth quarter, Jacksonville could hold Tuten out for the rest of the game to avoid the risk of re-injury. He'll have seven days to get healthy before next Sunday's clash against the Arizona Cardinals on the road.
