Saints HC Dennis Allen said Monday that he wants to balance out the backfield work a bit more going forward. RB Alvin Kamara racked up 17 carries and 14 targets in the Thursday night loss to the Saints, while RB Jamaal Williams finished with five carries and RB Kendre Miller none. Allen said that Williams was on a snap count in his first game back from a hamstring injury and that Miller had shoulder irritation pre-game. Any work those guys take from Kamara figures to come on the ground. Kamara should continue to dominate passing-game work.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is active for tonight's game against the Jaguars. He put in limited practices all week, coming off four games on IR. Try to avoid using Williams in fantasy lineups. His return figures to marginalize rookie Kendre Miller, at least early on. We're still easily playing Alvin Kamara in most cases, though.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says the Saints will activate RB Jamaal Williams from IR and play him tonight against the Jaguars. Williams missed the past four games with a hamstring injury. This will mark the first time this year that he and Alvin Kamara are active together. What that means for their work shares remains to be seen. We're still easily starting Kamara across formats, though, and trying to avoid Williams in fantasy football lineups. See where each player lands in our updated Week 7 RB rankings.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in practice this week after going down with a hamstring injury back in Week 2. We'll see if Williams is able to play tomorrow, but he shouldn't be in fantasy lineups.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) was limited in Tuesday's practice. He's eligible to return for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars. We'll see if he's ready, but Williams shouldn't be in your Week 7 fantasy plans.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) has been placed on IR. He'll miss at least the next four games, making Week 7 his earliest possible return. With RB Alvin Kamara set to return from his suspension next week, Williams is droppable in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Rookie RB Kendre Miller has a good opportunity to carve out a role in Williams' absence.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. RB Kendre Miller (knee, hamstring) is not listed on the final injury report after practicing all week. The rookie will make his regular-season debut on Sunday, joining RB Tony Jones (and probably Taysom Hill) in the backfield. Miller is an interesting DFS tournament flier but would be a risky season-long play.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams is expected to miss “some time” with his hamstring injury, HC Dennis Allen said Tuesday. We'll see exactly how long Williams is out, but it sounds like he'll at least miss this Sunday's game vs. the Packers. That's the final game of RB Alvin Kamara's three-game suspension, while rookie RB Kendre Miller is still working back from knee and hamstring injuries. So the Saints could be down to Tony Jones as lead back this weekend. We could also see Taysom Hill play a big role on the ground. He wound up carrying nine times for 75 yards in the Week 2 win over the Panthers.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams left Monday night's game against the Panthers with a hamstring injury. He's questionable to return. With RB Kendre Miller inactive once again, New Orleans is left with Tony Jones Jr. as "lead" RB.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Panthers. That will again leave RB Jamaal Williams in a workhorse role. He handled 18 carries and two targets on a 75% snap rate in Week 1.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Panthers. He was limited in practice all week but had a heavy wrap on his left hamstring and a brace on his right knee on Saturday, according to NewOrleans.Football's Brooke Kirchhofer. "He really did look limited," Kirchhofer adds. "He wasn't able to move around as fluidly as we saw him before this hamstring injury." It doesn't sound like Miller is a good bet to play on Monday night. And, even if he does, he'd likely have a small role. Jamaal Williams looks safe to keep in fantasy lineups as a volume-based RB2.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Thursday. It's an upgrade after he missed all three practices last week. Miller seemingly has a shot to make his regular-season debut vs. the Panthers on Monday night. He wouldn't be a fantasy option but would put a dent in RB Jamaal Williams' volume projection.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams racked up 18 carries in Sunday's win over the Titans, ceding just 1 RB carry to Tony Jones. Williams managed just 45 yards, though, against a Tennessee defense that ranked among the league's toughest vs. the run in 2022. Williams added just 7 more yards on 2 catches, among 2 targets. Taysom Hill worked in for 3 carries (and just 4 yards) as well, plus 0 catches on 1 target. Williams gets Carolina in Week 2, which was a more neutral matchup for RBs in 2022. A Week 3 spot at Green Bay looks more favorable as well. Williams' Week 1 touch count will keep him in fantasy-starter consideration the next two weeks, in spite of his lackluster production vs. the Titans.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. The rookie didn’t practice all week, so his availability for Week 2 is also in doubt. Miller’s absence leaves Jamaal Williams, Kirk Merritt, and Tony Jones in New Orleans’ backfield. Williams should dominate work and is a solid RB2 play in fantasy lineups.
