Who Should I Start? Kendre Miller or Woody Marks

Monday, October 20, 1:21 PM

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.

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is a decent RB2 and an excellent flex play this week in his rematch with the Titans. In Week 4, he went off for a huge game in his first game against this division foe, racking up 69 rushing yards on 17 carries and adding 50 receiving yards on four catches. He also had one rushing score and one receiving score, and he was back in the end zone last week against the Jaguars, taking 14 carries for 53 yards and adding two catches for 18 yards. The rookie seems to have taken a lead in the backfield over Nick Chubb, but Chubb will still be involved, especially if the Texans are playing from ahead. Marks is the No. 17 running back in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11, and the Titans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, giving him a high ceiling this week.
