RB Kendre Miller, NO (2 Viewers)

[zamboni]

Even if Kamara is ruled out for next week, not sure I have the stones to play Miller on MNF at Lambeau - unless of course I had no better options. And if Carr isn’t back, that’s even more of a concern.

 

[packer_junkie]

As a packers fan-- watching this season... A RB with some speed seems much more inclined to put up points and yards than a plodder type. Guys like Gibbs have been impossible for GB to defend.

GB has been stout vs the run game lately & having Edgerin Cooper back at LB has really helped as hes the most athletic one they have by far.

Still thinking Miller might have a fairly high floor for people looking for 8-12 points?? Unless they run Williams more and use Miller as COP (they haven't done that the last two weeks)

 

[cockroach]

Wheels up if Kamara is out. Maybe I'd sprinkle in some McCormick's if he Sincerely goes off tonight.

Good points - I guess the bigger issue is whether Rattler (presuming he starts) can sustain drives and the Saints not get into an early hole to the point of abandoning the run game. That could mean some dumpoffs but a risk for sure.

Interesting development and not unforeseen. Still likely going to have to play any other options one has because Kamara is not likely to be ruled out until game time unless the injury was a serious one.

I didn't see the play, but saw him walking to the locker room and assumed it was a head injury. He was talking w his helmet off w his palms up looking like he was arguing that he's fine. No noticeable limp or anything.

It was stated as a groin injury for Kamara

I know. And I know we've seen guys walk off the field on their own with torn ACLs. Just saying it looked liked he was arguing he didn't have a head injury as he was heading off.

Kamara diagnosed w an abductor inj

Kamara diagnosed w an abductor inj

I had to google that. An abductor injury can refer to a tear or strain in the hip abductor muscles or the adductor muscles in the inner thigh:

Abductor/adductor are the ones worked by the "sus machine". Ab- is for squeezing together, ad- is for spreading apart. This concludes everything I know. (About abductor muscles.)

ETA: reverse that

Miller or Ford?

Both avail, which one is preferred?

Miller or Ford?

As of now, have to go with Ford. We know Chubb is out but not sure about Kamara. And may not know until Monday night - at Lambeau of all places

Ford is the most logical choice, but if I learned anything from the last two years of Ford in the absence of Chubb, it’s that his usage (or lack thereof) is maddening. The Gabe Davis of RB’s. If he doesn’t break off a long TD (like he did this past Sunday) you don’t get much out of him. It’s like when everyone zigs, Stefanski zags. Facing a league worst run defense? Let’s pass the ball a million times from the very first drive of the game. I’d like Miller a lot more if it was certain Kamara would miss the game.

I drafted Ford and he didn’t do very much when Chubb was out earlier this season.

thats actually reversed - "abduction" goes away from mid line, like abduction in another context means to "take away" from the body.
Adduction squeezes in, think "addition" to the body.

Dangit man, that is one of those weird things where everytime I try to remember it, I think, "I always get this wrong, so whatever I think it is, reverse it." Then whenever I do reverse it, it turns out I had it right the first time.

Elite Drafters
Kendre Miller

Finally healthy and displaying elite RB1 capability.

He had 9 carries for 46 yards this past week against the Commanders.

With Kamara dealing with groin injury his dynasty and waiver wire appeal has resumed as a great buy.

**Kendre Miller's Strengths:**

- **Vision and Elusiveness:** Known for his ability to find and exploit cut-back lanes with excellent vision, Miller also has a high elusiveness rating, making him hard to tackle.

- **Physical Attributes:** At 6'0" and 220 lbs, he combines size with speed, offering a blend of power and agility. His acceleration is notable, especially in open-field scenarios.

- **Contact Balance:** Miller maintains good balance upon contact, often gaining extra yardage after initial hits.

- **Efficiency:** He was highly efficient in college, averaging over 6.0 yards per carry in his final season at TCU.

- **Youth and Potential:** Being only 22, he offers a long-term investment with room for growth in the NFL.

**Why He's a Good Pickup:**

- **Opportunity in New Orleans:** With Alvin Kamara aging and the coaching change potentially favoring younger talents, Miller could see increased role.

- **Versatility:** Despite needing work in pass protection and receiving, his running style and physicality suggest he can develop into a three-down back.

I'd be a lot more excited having Kendre on my roster.

Only reason I'd take Ford over him was if you need a RB this week and don't know Kamara's status when you have to do pickups. But if I'm not planning on starting Ford this week and/or know for sure Kamara is out then it's Kendre for me.

 

[Uncle Leo]

My Opponent got him on the waivers. I had to settle for Tyjae Spears.

 

[kerpow]

I will likely be starting Miller. My expectations are low, but seems like a higher floor when he is the lead back over other guys in the complementary role - Charbonnet, Justice Hill etc. I'll probably make the wrong call and regret it though.

I managed to get Miller off waivers yesterday but won't be starting him unless Kamara is declared out, and the Saints don't play until Monday, so hopefully this doesn't come down to a gametime decision. If the Saints are still on the fence about Kamara this weekend, I'll probably need to consider other options at FLEX, which means MIller is guaranteed to blow up on my bench. And there are Saturday games this week, so I'll need to have a plan by Saturday morning.

 

[BearsFan4Life]

I grabbed him off waivers and am trading him for a early to mid 2nd round rookie pick in dynasty .. i am set at RB

Alvin Kamara’s injury is more significant than believed. He’s week to week and unlikely to play on Monday

Oh lord. Who’s got he cojones to start Miller? It’s either him or Patrick Taylor if Guerendo doesn’t go. Crucial semifinal week. Darnnnnn

Miller has looked good on the snaps i have seen him play this year.

:hi:

Pickings are slim in a short bench league where you can’t stash. Lost Monty. Rolling with Kendre unless Pollard doesn’t play - then it’s spears for me.

 

[Rookiefever]

Pretty sure I’m leaning andrews over miller right now. Yeesh…

For me it's between Miller, Warren, McMillan, Odunze, or Tank in my flex.

Probably going with Miller out of that group

Game on with Kamara looking more and more doubtful ... flexing Miller over Freiermuth, Jayden Reed and Justice Hill.

 

[georg013]

Need a RB2. Loaded with lottery tickets: Miller, Ford, Charbs, Spears, Tracy, and Taylor. Full PPR. Leaning Miller because of the talent unless Spears gets the backfield to himself. I don’t believe that will happen with so many monetary incentives for Pollard to play.

In my leagues(FFPC), GB gives up the 26th most fantasy points to RB's and the Raiders 12th.

Name some players you're startiing Miller over that aren't so obvious. I thought about starting him over Worthy, but backed away from that thought.

Stevenson, Patrick Taylor, and McMillan for me.

This is all obviously assuming Kamara officially ruled out by the early Sunday games.

Of course. Throw all of this in the toilet if Kamara is active.

Yes - I meant not just active, but even if it continues to point to Kamara being out, but he’s listed as questionable (or even doubtful) and not ruled out until after the early Sunday games. Can’t take a chance that he does wind up playing.

Since I last played 2 weeks ago and had my team on bye last week, I’ve lost 2 of my starting RBs Kamara and Monty, maybe my TE Njoku and prosbky one WR in Waddle so really it’s almost necessary for him to start, however, currently have him in over Tracy who I have just not trusted last week or 2 due to QB situation getting worse and Singletary getting a bigger split. If I had two fit RBs ( only got Henry now out of starting lineup ) I’d likely flex him over Amari Cooper and possibly Mooney as Giants pass D is good and Penix is an unknown.

Really in hindsight should have started Edwards but he’s done nothing up until last night

You don't think GB will be nasty against an injury ravished indoor offense playing in the cold with a 6th rd rookie qb?
