Miller appeared to emerge as the Saints' lead running back after a 20-carry effort in Week 6, but that was very short-lived. In Week 7 in Paris, Miller logged just 39% of snaps and eight carries for six yards. The Saints rushing attack is severely struggling, averaging just 0.88 yards before contact per rush. With the team heading to bye in Week 8 and no immediate improvement expected until after, Miller is not worth holding through the bye.

Miller led the Saints with eight carries in Week 7 but converted them into just six yards, showing inefficiency after a career-high 20 carries for 70 yards in Week 6. With Alvin Kamara's strong receiving skill set and Travis Etienne Jr. eligible to return from IR in Week 9, Miller's time as a featured back appears over. Kamara is more likely to remain involved as a change-of-pace option post-Etienne return, making Miller a low-upside, touchdown-dependent flex to drop.

The Saints' backfield has dissolved into a gross three-way committee with Kendre Miller handling the bulk of the early-down work. Last week, he finished with 22 touches (20 carries) and 70 total yards with a 45.6% snap rate, 52.6% of the rushing work, and a 15.6% route share (6.7% target share). Derek Brown views Miller as a viable flex option again this week, but notes his per-touch rushing efficiency has been putrid: only a 2.4% explosive run rate, 1.73 yards after contact per attempt, and a 12% missed tackle rate. If the Saints are playing from behind this week, Miller could easily get gamescripted out of the Week 7 action. Miller needs the Saints to play with a lead and a touchdown to likely pay off for fantasy purposes, both questionable propositions in Week 7.

Miller has been given more opportunities than Alvin Kamara for two straight weeks; he saw 10 touches in Week 5 against the Vikings (10-30-1 rushing line) and rushed 20 times for 70 yards with two receptions last week against the Giants. Over his last 30 touches since Week 5, Miller has totaled 100 yards from scrimmage (3.0 YPT), more than double Kamara's 14 touches over that span. Inside the opponent's 10-yard line, Miller has seen six opportunities to Kamara's zero, making him the only Saints running back seeing enough looks to warrant fantasy consideration in Week 7 against the Steelers.
