The Saints upset the Ravens in Week 2, but the RB split makes Travis Etienne a fantasy concern going forward. Alvin Kamara returned to the lineup after missing Week 1, and Kendre Miller was inactive. That didn’t seem to help Etienne, who had 8 rushes for 25 yards. Kamara had 9 carries for 15 yards and was most active in the passing game, catching 5 of 6 targets for 7 yards, while Etienne caught both his targets for 6 yards. It appears Etienne is set to split time no matter which other RBs are active.

Saints RB Kendre Miller is inactive for today's game vs. the Ravens. He matched RB Travis Etienne with 9 carries last week but gets the boot today with RB Alvin Kamara back. We'll see how big a role Kamara plays in his 2026 debut, but Miller's absence makes Etienne a slightly better fantasy bet.

RB Travis Etienne scored in line with his ADP in Sunday's opener at Detroit, but he did so in a way he might not be able to sustain. Etienne's 14.8 PPR points against the Lions fell just 0.1 short of his 2025 scoring average in Jacksonville and places him15th among Week 1 RBs (heading into the Monday night game). But Etienne tied for just 34th at the position with 9 carries, and one of the guys he tied with was teammate Kendre Miller.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. RBs Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson are active behind RB Travis Etienne, who should handle the majority of the backfield work.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara left a scrimmage with the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the injury was a sprained MCL and will miss at least the next month with the injury. That sets up RB Travis Etienne for a full workload and makes Kamara undraftable in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Saints RB Kendre Miller has been diagnosed with a torn ACL, according to insider Jordan Schultz. That'll cost Miller the rest of the season and likely mean more work for RB Alvin Kamara going forward.

Saints RB Kendre Miller is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bears with a knee injury. We'll pass along an update on the injury when we get one. Miller's absence should mean more work for RB Alvin Kamara. Rookie RB Devin Neal is also active today.

Update: Miller has been ruled out.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He was limited in practice all last week and listed as questionable before ultimately playing vs. the Patriots. We'll keep tabs on Kamara's status over the next few days. RB Kendre Miller remains a strong stash who would turn into a fantasy starter if Kamara misses time.

One week after getting out-carried by Kendre Miller, Alvin Kamara out-touched Miller 15-9 in the Saints' 25-19 Week 6 loss to the Patriots. Although Kamara played 2 fewer snaps in Week 6 than he did in Week 5, he played a higher percentage of plays versus the Patriots, temporarily quelling concerns that the Saints were looking to move on from their long-time veteran RB.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill reports that Kamara hurt the ankle in the first half of last week's game and was still dealing with some soreness today. It "isn’t anything serious," Underhill adds. "He’ll be day-to-day this week." It sounds like Kamara will be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but the ankle adds more risk to a player who's already trending down. RB Kendre Miller should be rostered in virtually all fantasy leagues at this point.

The New Orleans Saints secured their first victory of the season, defeating the turnover-plagued New York Giants 26-14. The Saints were outgained by the Giants but won the turnover battle 5-0. New Orleans attempted 30 rushes but only produced 88 yards on the ground (2.9 yards per carry). However, one interesting takeaway was the division of carries. For the first time this season, Kendre Miller out-carried Alvin Kamara 10-8.

Saints RB Kendre Miller out-snapped RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire 11 to four with the first-team offense in the team's preseason finale. RBs Cam Akers and Devin Neal received no first-team reps. Miller appears locked in as the No. 2 RB heading into Week 1.

Saints RB Devin Neal will miss "a couple weeks" with a hamstring injury, per HC Kellen Moore. Neal, a Round 6 rookie, was in a battle for the No. 2 RB job behind Alvin Kamara. His absence raises the late-round appeal of Kendre Miller, who'll still have to beat out Clyde Edwards-Helaire and others for the handcuff role.

Saints beat writer Ross Jackson calls Saints RB Kendre Miller a "great fit" for new HC Kellen Moore’s offense.
