The New Orleans Saints are 1-6 in last place of the NFC South. With their season slipping away, they have now lost upstart running back Kendre Miller to a torn ACL.

Miller’s injury is a cruel twist of fate as he had struggled his first 2 seasons with injury. Miller was gaining snap share in the Saints backfield with Alvin Kamara. Miller had 3 games of 31% or more snap share and even had a 12.5 fantasy point outing in week 4 as a high end RB3.

While Miller wasn’t on the trajectory to being a star in the league, he’ll be added to the long list of players who can’t quite catch breaks be it via health or opportunity at the next level. For those who have Miller in dynasty, his trade value plummets to zero and he’ll be living on IR spots for the foreseeable future into 2026.
