Ahead of Week 9 the New Orleans Saints placed two players onto the injured reserve making them both missing a minimum of four games.  Wide receiver Bub Means went to the IR due to his ankle injury he suffered against the Chargers during Week 8 matchup.  Also, during Saints’ Week 8 matchup running back Kendre Miller hurt his hamstring.

For fantasy purposes Means looked to increase his role while Chris Olave was recovering from his concussion he suffered but unfortunately, Means will have to do a wait and see approach while he is resting his ankle injury.  Some wide receivers to look to help out in the meanwhile is newly acquired Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mason Tipton, or even Cedrick Wilson.

For Miller though this is a familiar situation for him being on the injured reserve.  He spent much of his rookie season on it and this is his second time this season being on it.  Alvin Kamara will get the heavy workload going forward and they have just activated Jordan Mims to the active roster.  Both Kamara’s backups Jamaal Williams and Miller are both hurt.

They will look to get back onto the field as soon as both are healthy enough to play.
