Kendre Miller's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (ankle/illness) is listed as questionable for Week 18. Miller logged two limited practices earlier in the week while tending to the ankle injury that has kept him out since Week 10. On Friday, he did not participate due to an illness. Starter Alvin Kamara (ankle) did not practice all week due to the ankle sprain that knocked him out of Week 17 early and will be a game-time decision. If Kamara is held out of the season finale then Jamaal Williams will operate as the lead back against the Atlanta Falcons with Kendre Miller serving as backup, if healthy.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Miller's rookie season has been derailed by an ankle injury he suffered in Week 9. The 21-year-old hasn't played since, although he's made progress in recent weeks and could in on track to return in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints might need him behind Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill, too, if Alvin Kamara (ankle) can't return from an ankle injury of his own that he suffered in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Miller showed some decent pass-catching chops earlier this year when he was healthy, but his role figures to be limited given his extended absence if he returns this weekend, even if Kamara is also inactive.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Miller has been making progress in recent weeks from a sprained ankle that has kept him sidelined since Week 9, but the 21-year-old is still up in the air to play in a must-win game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. He was impressive earlier in the year as a pass-catcher in the Saints' backfield, but even if he returns and Alvin Kamara (ankle) is unable to play (which is unlikely), Miller won't be a recommended option for fantasy managers in championship matchups or DFS tournaments. If Kamara is out or limited this weekend after missing Wednesday's practice, Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill would likely see most of the rushing attempts for the Saints.
