Kendre Miller

Kamara's second DNP of the week is hardly news after beat reporter Nick Underhill reported he is unlikely to play and considered week-to-week after suffering a groin injury. A Week 17 return looks like the best possible outcome for Kamara. Kendre Miller is an RB2, starting in Kamara's stead.

Saints thin at running back Alvin Kamara s injury is more significant than believed. He s week to week and unlikely to play on Monday. He intends to try to get back before the season is over, I m told. A lot of work to do but he s aiming to make that happen. Hasn t thrown in the towel on it even though there are only three games left. (Nick Underhill on X) FF Today's Take: Kamara injured his groin last week and is not expected to play against the Packers on Monday Night Football. His absence will allow Kendre Miller to get the start with Jamaal Williams serving as the backup. The Packers are 13th in fantasy points allowed to the position making Miller a volume-based RB2 in Week 16.

Beat reporter Nick Underhill reports "Kamara's injury is more significant than believed," labeling him "week to week." News broke earlier this week that Kamara needed to undergo additional testing for his groin injury. It appears as though those tests brought undesirable results. Fantasy managers should rush to add Kendre Miller wherever he is available. He is RB2-viable against the Packers on Monday night.

Interim HC Darren Rizzi commented that RB Alvin Kamara's groin injury is more serious than they initially thought. He also said that it doesn't look good for Kamara to return this week. If Kamara can't go, RB Kendre Miller will likely be the lead back for the Saints against the Packers on Monday Night Football.

The Saints signed RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the practice squad. It could be a sign that they're expecting to be without RB Alvin Kamara (groin) for Monday night's game vs. the Packers. Edwards-Helaire did not touch the ball for the Chiefs this season after averaging just 3.2 yards per carry last year. He won't be a fantasy factor the rest of this season. RB Kendre Miller remains a good bet to control backfield work if Kamara misses time.
