Who Should I Start? Kendre Miller or Blake Corum

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.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum recorded 13 carries for 58 yards in his team's 34-10 Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints. After failing to reach double-digit carries in any of his first six games of 2025, Corum has now logged at least 12 rush attempts in each of his last two contests. It's worth noting that Los Angeles notched two straight blowout wins, which could be why Corum is eating into the workload of Rams RB1 Kyren Williams. Still, Corum has earned an efficient 4.6 yards per carry when given the opportunity this season. At worst, he's a high-end handcuff option to Williams, who could be a league-winner if Williams were to suffer an injury. In fantasy leagues where he remains available, Corum should be rostered heading into a Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
