Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Kendre Miller

Saturday, November 8, 4:11 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) is off the final injury report and is set to play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barkley practiced in full every day this week after tweaking his groin during the Eagles' Week 8 win over the New York Giants, but had the bye week to recover and won't miss any time to the injury. Fantasy managers can exhale with the positive news regarding the Eagles' star running back, who is coming off easily his best performance of the season, rushing for 150 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and adding four catches (five targets) for 24 yards as a receiver. Barkley will look to build on the strong performance in Week 10 against a Green Bay Packers defense that has struggled to defend the run since their Week 5 bye, ranking 25th in rushing success rate. Barkley is a rock-solid RB1 for Monday Night Football.

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.
