The Saints managed just 67 yards on 20 carries in Monday night's loss to the Packers. RB Kendre Miller drew a team-high 8 carries but turned them into just 15 yards (1.9 per rush). Most of that came on a single 10-yard run. QB Spencer Rattler easily led the team in rushing with 28 yards on 5 carries.
The Saints have ruled RB Alvin Kamara out for Monday night's game against the Packers because of his groin injury. That comes as no surprise and aligns with what HC Darren Rizzi indicated earlier this week.
Second year Saints RB Kendre Miller scored an early TD in the first quarter against the Giants. It was one of only two TDs by the Saints in what should have been an easy match-up. Miller had 10 backfield touches for 32 yards while fellow RB Jamaal Williams only had five for 15 yards.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. Jordan Mims will continue to serve as the No. 2 RB, with Taysom Hill also mixing in for rushing work behind Alvin Kamara.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons. Jordan Mims will be the No. 2 RB. But look for another busy outing for RB Alvin Kamara, with TE Taysom Hill mixing in for a handful of carries.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons. Interim HC Darren Rizzi said Friday that Williams aggravated his groin injury in practice this week and is unlikely to play. Jordan Mims will serve as No. 2 RB on paper again, but TE Taysom Hill is the second-best bet for carries behind workhorse Alvin Kamara.
The Saints have placed RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) on IR. That’ll knock him out for games against the Panthers, Falcons, Browns, and Rams. New Orleans promoted RB Jordan Mims to the active roster in a corresponding move. With Jamaal Williams also out for Sunday, Alvin Kamara will remain busy. Taysom Hill might rank second on the team in carries and presents some fantasy value in leagues where he carries TE eligibility.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He didn’t practice all week and has no timetable for return from his latest hamstring injury. New Orleans will also be without RB Jamaal Williams, who's listed as doubtful with a groin injury. The Saints figure to elevate Jordan Mims from the practice squad to serve as the No. 2 RB, but Taysom Hill might be the favorite to finish second on the team in carries.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) has been activated from IR, putting him on track to make his 2024 debut against the Bucs on Sunday. Ace beat writer Nick Underhill does not expect Miller to have a "significant role out of the gates." But, if he can stay healthy, Miller is plenty capable of emerging as New Orleans' No. 2 RB -- and the Alvin Kamara handcuff. Miller is worth stashing now in deeper fantasy leagues.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a hip pointer and rib injury, HC Dennis Allen said. Kamara was able to play through the issues in the Week 3 loss to the Eagles but shouldn't be considered a lock to play vs. the Falcons on Sunday.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 26 times in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That tied for his third-most carries in a game for his career. Kamara's 87 rushing yards came out to just 3.3 per carry. He added 40 receiving yards on three catches (among 3 targets). Kamara's 3 receptions ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He should be out of all Week 3 fantasy lineups. Hill has played 57% of his snaps in the backfield this season, totaling eight carries and three targets. His absence is a bigger boost to New Orleans' RBs than pass-catchers.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara scored four times in a 44-19 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday. He delivered 115 yards and 3 TDs on 20 carries and added a 57-yard catch-and-run TD as part of a 2-65-1 receiving line.
Saints RB Kendre Miller will start the season on the IR list with the hamstring injury he suffered during training camp. Miller will miss at least the first four weeks of the season and could remain on IR longer if his injury persists.
Klint Kubiak is expected to be named the Saints' new OC, according to multiple reports. Kubiak is currently the 49ers' passing-game coordinator, so the move can't become official until after the Super Bowl. The 36-year-old son of Gary Kubiak has 10 seasons of NFL coaching experience. That includes serving as Vikings OC back in 2021. That team ranked 12th in total yards and 14th in points, ranking near the middle of the pack in run/pass split.
