Should I Start Kendre Miller?

Friday, June 5, 6:05 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller has yet to reach 115 offensive snaps, 50 carries, or 200 rushing yards in any of his three seasons in the league. Hampered by injury and inefficiency, he's spent his early career clinging to a roster spot since the Saints selected him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. With New Orleans spending big to acquire Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency, and veteran Alvin Kamara still on the roster through the opening stages of organized team activities, Miller is left battling 2025 sixth-round pick Devin Neal for the third spot in a top-heavy rotation. With Miller still recovering from the torn ACL that ended his third season after only seven games, the early edge could go to Neal, who turned in a serviceable effort in his lead-back duties to finish the year. Still just on the verge of turning 24, Miller's best hopes of finding fantasy relevance are tied squarely to the fate of Kamara. If the 10th-year veteran sticks in New Orleans for one more season, Miller may not even be guaranteed a roster spot in 2026, but if the Saints eventually find a way to move on from their all-time leading rusher, there may still be a slim chance of retribution for RotoBaller's dynasty RB95.
