Saints New Staff Giving Kendre Miller a "Blank Slate"

Thursday, May 22, 3:55 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller has had trouble making an impact since being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The TCU product reportedly did not earn the trust of the previous coaching staff, but new head coach Kellen Moore is offering the ball carrier a fresh start. "First day was a blank slate," Moore said. In 14 career games, Miller has rushed 80 times for 304 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 15 receptions for 150 yards. He has dealt with multiple injuries in his young career, which has impacted his ability to earn a role in the offense. The Saints selected former Kansas running back Devin Neal in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, so he and Miller will likely battle it out for the RB2 role behind Alvin Kamara this offseason. Based on what we've seen thus far, Miller is not worth rostering in standard-sized leagues, but he could be worth a flier in deeper setups.

Tyjae Spears Has Impressed this Offseason

Wednesday, June 18, 3:04 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has impressed this offseason, according to team writer Jim Wyatt. "Spears looked explosive on the field this offseason, when he got plenty of work," Wyatt wrote. "While Tony Pollard got the bulk of the work last fall, Spears showed flashes at different times. If he can stay healthy, he seems poised to be a consistent playmaker in 2025." The 2023 third-round pick out of Tulane struggled to stay healthy last season, missing five games due to multiple injuries. Overall, he tallied 84 rushing attempts for 312 yards and four scores to go with 30 receptions for 224 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in 12 games. Titans head coach Brian Callahan has hinted at more of a split backfield in 2025, and the team could opt to use the "hot hand" approach. Fantasy managers should not rely on Spears as an RB2, RB3, or flex option to begin next year's campaign, but he's an intriguing handcuff stash and late-round draft dart throw in most formats. If No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward exceeds expectations in Year 1, the Tennessee offense could have more upside than suggested by the cost of the Titans' players in fantasy drafts.
