RB Kendre Miller, NO (1 Viewer)

[wlwiles]

If Jones can't go I need to choose between Miller, Ford and Pierce. I'm hoping Jones is a go to avoid this choice but I really like Miller for 2024.

I'm in a similar boat, if Montgomery can't go then I'm forced to choose between Miller and Achane. Talking myself into Miller being able to at least score a TD, I mean if Tony Jones can do it twice last week then why not Miller...

full practice today plus no practice for williams. looks like go time.

for this week anyway, achane isn't in the same neighborhood as these other backs mentioned with mostert upright imo. the others have a starter amount of opportunity in front of them, achane doesn't.

The irony is that in the same league I'm also considering starting Taysom at TE, in part because I think he'll have a role in that running game, especially at the goal line

Miller over Herbert was way easier. Further regarding that comparable, I have Herbert & Miles Sanders in a different league. I'm not excited about starting either of them, & Sanders is working thru an injury. But I'm not waiting until 4pm to find out whether he's a go. Reason being, Herbert is the only other option I have in that time slot. What might you be considering with Herbert?

With respect to Hill, down around the goal he's often a two-way go to the right. As mentioned, against a tough Carolina front jones scored twice. Miller is a banger with light feet & speed. Perhaps GB concedes that advantage & makes their stand, they takes chances before the Saints get down there that close? I mean, who knows?

I don't think Kamara is what he used to be and hasn't been for a long time. Derek Carr is a complete enigma to me. He can look thoroughly brilliant at times and just terrible at others, but he is probably better at checking it down than anyone thet Saints have had at QB since Brees (who I think was the absolute best ever at it and pumped Kamara's numbers as a result). But my call is that Miller takes over this backfield by the end of the year and if they don't stay in contention it will happen earlier. It might happen earlier anyway. Not a Kamara hater - I won $1000s from his 6TD Christmas game as well as drafting him everywhere his rookie year and doing quite well as a result. I just think he's at or near the cliff. That's it that's the take.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much work NO gives him. Let's hope he is healthy and flashes.

 

[TartanLion]

Starting him in one dynasty where I own the entire Saints backfield sans Jones ( so have lost Jamaal, and Kamara suspension ) and Monty and actually the exact same in a re-draft regarding those 3 RBs as well. Fingers crossed

 

[massraider]

Jamaal Williams to the IR.

Kendre Miller, this is your moment

Hope they are just slow rolling this guy but I'm not sure I can keep him rostered. Wasn't able to catch the 4th quarter but he wasn't in RZ packages and an afterthought for any targets - what did he get, 1 all game? Jones Jr and Hill ate into his snap count and that's not a positive with Kamara coming back.

Any positives I'm missing?

 

[dipandglide]

This wasn't a bad performance, but not the "wow" performance I was hoping for out of the gate. Miami and Achane stole the show today.

He did look ok running the football. Offense will be different with Winston at QB. Worried about snaps though. A little low percentage wise but he is a rookie.

well he's coming off an injury for one and a rookie, but on the other hand Kamara is back next week, both can prob co-exist though and be decent

 

[rockaction]

Today wasn't the day. He's still coming off of injury and is a rookie. Expect Kamara to shoulder a pretty big workload when he comes back.

Looked decent in flashes, but he's not as dynamic as he was in college. I know the guys he's playing against are faster, but I'm talking about him in space.

 

[The Frankman]

Kendre Miller rushed nine times for 34 yards in the Saints’ Week 3 loss to the Packers.

Those hoping for an elite PPR scheme from Miller were left sorely disappointed, as he managed just one target to Tony Jones’ four. Miller was solid on his few rush attempts, with his longest carry coming on a 10-yard gain in the second quarter. Fantasy managers hoping to get something out of Miller will have to wait until another date, as Alvin Kamara is set to return from his three-game suspension on Monday.

Tony Jones Jr. out snapped him 30 to 21 (49% to 34%). Again, it's his 1st games coming off injury. He wasn't going to dominate snaps off the bat.

i picked the wrong day to take that stand lol. i invite anyone to come out and dispute that before last weekend!

edit: i don't have any shares of achane and mostert is still the "starter."

For real, nobody saw that coming. Least of all YOU. Lol

 

[Drake Hater]

Kendre had a decent line in this NE blowout game. Should he be getting more attention? I didn't watch but any insight into his usage - is he separating himself from Jones to the point where he can be 1B to Kamara?

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

Jones isn't on the roster anymore.

 

[zamboni]

Jones isn't on the roster anymore.

Right, but he also has to contend with Jamaal Williams upon his return. I can't imagine team brass will want Kamara to carry this kind of workload for the rest of the season, so there is probably fantasy value for the 1B - just not sure who that will be.

I like Miller as a potential 2024 guy, but outside of injuries to his backfield mates, I don't see a lot of upside this year.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

Yeah, I'm not expecting much more from Miller than a few carries here and there.

Anything more is a massive bonus.

If you're a Kamara owner I'd grab him.

Otherwise, I'd say forget it because J. Williams could be back as well sooner rather than later.

 

[Chaka]

Probably a decent injury backup in redraft leagues. I don't see much standalone value.

 

[Insein]

I have him on the bench as a Kamara owner but most likely will never start him unless AK goes down.

 

[PIK95]

In the big leagues he is definitely a ppr bye week cover for me.

 

[zamboni]

Given how many starting RBs are going down left and right, he strikes me as one of the better handcuff options out there in PPR leagues. While Miller would probably have to share with JW in the event of a Kamara injury, it's clear that Carr is checking down a lot, and that wouldn't be JW's area.
