Saints rookie RB Kendre Miller made his NFL debut Sunday against the Packers after missing the first two games with a hamstring injury. Miller wound up leading the team in carries (9) and rushing yards (34). But he ceded another 8 carries to RB Tony Jones Jr. and trailed Jones 4-1 in targets. Miller caught his only target for no gain. Jones finished with an 8-31 rushing line and 4-21 receiving. Jones got the first carry and saw all four of his targets in the first half. But Miller drew 7 of the team's 13 first-half carries to lead the way. With Alvin Kamara returning from his suspension in Week 4, don't expect any other Saints RB to help your fantasy football lineup.
