2023 Positional Finish: RB71 (4.8 Half-PPR FPPG)
KeepTradeCut Dynasty Ranking: RB31
Dynasty Analysis: It was a tough rookie season for Kendre Miller. The 2023 third-round pick out of TCU missed time during the season due to knee, ankle, and hamstring injuries. He would be limited to just eight games. While he struggled to get on the field, Miller did briefly show why the Saints invested a third-round pick in him.
Alvin Kamara is currently ahead of Miller on the depth chart. However, he turns 29 this year and has shown signs of slowing down. He posted a career low in rushing yards and finished 46th out of 49 eligible backs in Next Gen Stats Rush Yards Over Expectation (RYOE).
Don’t forget about #Saints RB Kendre Miller in your #fantasyfootball leagues.
Talented player. Could thrive if the opportunity presents itself.

If Kamara’s play continues to decline, Miller is in a position to capitalize. He’s lined up for a camp battle with Jamaal Williams for the backup running back job. Given Williams’ struggles last year, it’s a battle Miller can win. This would put him among the top handcuff options for 2024. Owners may have soured on him after his extremely disappointing rookie season and might be willing to move on from the second-year back. While his stats underwhelmed, Miller passed the eye test in limited action. He’s an intriguing stash/trade candidate.
