Miller carried the ball 13 times for a team-high 73 yards and the first touchdown of his career. He also caught a pass for six yards.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (chest) is officially active for Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons. He'll suit up for the regular-season finale despite being listed as questionable. The 27-year-old has looked great lately, catching 14 passes for 172 yards and three touchdowns over his last three games. He had one of the best games of his career last week, commanding 12 targets while amassing 90 yards. Although he hasn't been a consistent performer this season, his recent success makes him a worthwhile option in fantasy football. Managers should view him as a fringe TE1 option given his low floor and high ceiling.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (ankle, illness) is officially active for Week 18 versus the Atlanta Falcons, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. He had been listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice. Miller returns from a seven-game absence and will immediately operate as the Saints' No. 2 running back behind Jamaal Williams with Alvin Kamara (ankle) inactive. The rookie should carve out a solid snap share, but it's tough to trust him in fantasy football.
