BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With veteran running back Jamaal Williams inactive, Miller operated as the team's No. 2 running back behind starter Alvin Kamara. He logged 26 of the team's 72 snaps but handled 12 carries and received four targets.
Their Week 5 contest was a massive blowout, shutting the Patriots out and winning by over 30 points, which means fantasy managers shouldn't expect 12 carries on a weekly basis.
The nature of the game dictated more work for Miller. However, Miller was the clear No. 2 back and looked good in the process. He finished with just 37 yards on his 12 carries, but caught four of his five targets and finished with 53 receiving yards, which was second on the team.
While Week 5 stands as his best career outing, fantasy managers should be realistic with their expectations for Miller. Once Williams returns, that'll add another wrinkle to this backfield. Kamara is still the clear No. 1 running back, which means Miller shouldn't be viewed as more than a handcuff at this stage. However, fantasy managers can reasonably assume he'd likely get the first crack at the role in the event of a Kamara injury even once Williams returns.
