Saquon Barkley News
Wednesday, November 4, 11:27 AM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) was not spotted at practice on Wednesday, per Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. Barkley has been battling injury issues for multiple weeks. The 29-year-old has played a limited snap share in each of the Eagles' last two games, but he's been relatively productive in his opportunities, recording 20 carries for 92 yards and two touchdowns over the last two weeks. Given that Barkley has been on the field for the Eagles lately, he may just be getting a rest/injury management day off on Wednesday. If Barkley has suffered a setback, Eagles backup running backs Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue could be in line for increased workloads in Week 9 against the New York Giants.

Kendre Miller News
Wednesday, October 28, 7:00 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller has averaged just 2.8 yards per carry this season, and Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) becomes eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 9 following New Orleans' bye. Miller was a healthy scratch when Etienne and Alvin Kamara were both available in Week 2, which makes his disappointing production during Etienne's absence particularly concerning. He followed his 20-carry, 70-yard performance against the New York Giants in Week 6 with just six rushing yards on eight attempts in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. New Orleans managed only 18 rushing yards as a team, but Miller's playing time also declined from 44% to 39%, while Kamara's snap share climbed from 26% to 56% and he added seven receptions for 57 yards. Miller can be dropped in 10-team leagues and is expendable in standard 12-team formats when a more promising replacement is available, while managers in 14-team leagues or deeper can retain him as backfield insurance, particularly if Etienne's recovery takes longer than expected.
