Who Should I Start? Kendre Miller or Blake Corum

Sunday, December 22, 2:52 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller should operate as the team's primary option out of the backfield in Week 16. Lead running back Alvin Kamara (groin) exited last week's game against the Commanders and was later diagnosed with an adductor injury and did not practice at all this week. After Kamara's early departure in the fourth quarter, Miller took over the backfield getting eight carries before the end of the game. He finished with a total of nine rushes for 46 yards. The second-year man out of TCU appears to have leapfrogged veteran Jamaal Williams, who saw just four offensive snaps against Washington. Even though Miller is suddenly the top dog in New Orleans, it may not translate to fantasy success on Monday night when the Saints face Green Bay. Over the last four weeks, the Packers have held opposing running backs to the eighth-fewest rushing yards and a league-leading 3.46 yards per carry. Miller projects as a high-end RB3 in Week 16.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum received attention from fantasy managers heading into the season, mostly due to head coach Sean McVay indicating he would be involved. While the rookie has gotten some action, it hasn't been at the level most envisioned. Instead, Kyren Williams remains the undisputed No. 1 option out of the backfield, with the 24-year-old already seeing more carries in 2024-25 than his first two seasons combined. With that in mind, the Rams meet the Jets in Week 16. Unfortunately, the ship has sailed on Corum, at least for this season, so fantasy managers should keep him out of the starting lineup.
