Kendre Miller News
Monday, October 12, 5:32 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller has seen a ton of usage in his team's offense to this point in 2026, recording 29 carries for 83 yards and two touchdowns across four games. However, the 24-year-old may be emerging as the leader of the Saints backfield in the short term. Saints RB1 Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is currently on Injured Reserve and is not eligible to return until Week 9. While veteran back Alvin Kamara is the most established healthy name in the New Orleans running back room, Miller led the team in touches in Week 5. Kamara has also been extremely inefficient as a rusher over the last two seasons, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry since the start of 2025. Heading into a favorable Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants, Miller could be a potential deep-league streamer for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

Trey Benson News
Saturday, October 10, 11:48 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) is already set to miss the entire 2026 season, and he will likely have trouble carving out a meaningful role when he returns to action next year. This Cardinals team features a very impressive one-two punch of Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeir, and there's no real opportunity for a third running back to carve out fantasy value as long as those two backs are healthy. At this point, fantasy managers might be rooting for the Cardinals to release Benson from IR with an injury settlement. He has already missed a full year with a meniscus injury, so he's presumably somewhat close to being healthy. If a new opportunity presents itself with a different team, Benson could have some fantasy relevance, depending on the landing spot. However, as long as he's a Cardinal and playing behind Love and Allgeier, he has no dynasty value. Managers should feel okay about dropping Benson at this point.
