2024 Fantasy Outlook

Miller's rookie season was brief and inconclusive, but it had some promising glimpses. The 2023 third-round pick out of TCU would have faced a crowded depth chart either way with Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams ahead of him, but Miller never even got the chance to compete for reps due to a preseason knee injury and then an in-season ankle sprain. The flickers of playing time in between were interesting, particularly the pass-catching upside Miller showed against New England in Week 5 (four catches for 53 yards on four targets) and the rushing output against Atlanta in Week 18 (13 carries for 73 yards and one touchdown). Kamara and Williams are still on the roster, but Miller should at least make a push for some of the work that went to Williams during his ineffective debut season in New Orleans (2.9 YPC, one TD).

Lands on IR with hamstring injury

November 2, 2024

The Saints placed Miller (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.

ANALYSIS
Miller missed the first six games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, though it's not clear whether his current hamstring issue is to the same leg. The 2023 third-round pick will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 13 against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 8 the earliest he can return. Jamaal Williams (groin) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, so the Saints signed Jordan Mims from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as Alvin Kamara's backup.

2023 Fantasy Outlook

Miller is arguably the wild card of the 2023 rookie running back class, both in terms of his prospect profile and his landing spot. Injury prevented Miller (5-11, 215) from pre-draft testing, leaving pertinent details such as size-adjusted speed unanswered and making it more difficult to contextualize his spectacular production at TCU. Miller averaged 6.7 yards on 361 college carries, including 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns on 224 carries last season, but with only 29 catches in 33 games. The Saints were confident enough to draft him in the third round, though it's unclear how soon they might give him playing time with Alvin Kamara and free-agent acquisition Jamaal Williams around. Kamara's three-game suspension to open the season creates an opportunity, though it would probably be better for Miller if his teammate missed time later in the season once the rookie was more familiar with the playbook and his assignments. Even so, Miller could be involved early on, which would give him a chance to earn further playing time after Kamara's return Week 4.
