Who Should I Start? Kendre Miller or Jaydon Blue

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.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue saw a decrease in workload on Sunday during his team's 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The rookie was expected to see an increase in playing time in Week 6, but Dallas' ground game was relatively ineffective against Carolina's defense, prompting the team to air it out more. With backfield mate Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) set to miss the remainder of the season, Blue's role should grow as he becomes more comfortable on an NFL field. However, he doesn't figure to have much standalone value with Javonte Williams dominating touches and looking effective. For now, fantasy managers can consider the former Texas Longhorn a solid handcuff, but not a startable option with Williams in front of him.
