Read the Kendre Miller fantasy football waiver wire pickup analysis for Week 6 of 2024. RotoBaller's advice for Kendre Miller waiver wire adds for free agents.
BALLER MOVE: Add Only as Handcuff
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller will finally get his first chance to see action this season. He's not heading into a great situation. Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) will miss multiple weeks with a muscle tear, and they already lost their starting center.
#2. The Saints offensive line is also in rough shape.
They're missing starting center Erik McCoy & likely without guard Lucas Patrick.
McCoy is PFF's #1 graded center in 2024.

This is not good news along the offensive trenches. They'll be missing multiple starters. Lead running back Alvin Kamara and Miller will likely struggle to find running lanes up the middle, and Kamara will be the primary pass-catching back, limiting the backup's PPR-scam upside. At least it's not a terrible matchup.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who the Saints will face in Week 6, have allowed 4.9 yards per rush attempt, eighth-worst in the league. With no real indications of how much volume Miller will get, and considering the team may be cautious of his injury-prone nature, he should only be added as a speculative handcuff or in very deep leagues for now.
