Initial belief is that Kendre Miller avoided a major injury, which is a good thing, but we'll know for sure after further testing, per source.

Related players: Jamaal Williams, Alvin Kamara, Dwayne Washington, Adam Prentice

Miller is thought to have a knee sprain on the same knee he's been rehabbing during the offseason. Miller could miss some time, and with Kamara suspended to start the season, it leaves Williams as the RB1. Washington and Prentice are next up. If Miller has to miss a significant amount of time, the Saints could be in the mix to bring in another RB.

Kareem Hunt is making a free agent visit to the Saints. With Alvin Kamara missing during his three-game suspension and Eno Benjamin suffering a torn Achilles, the team is looking for some more options.

The last two seasons we've seen Hunt with the ball in his hands, he's produced exceedingly inefficient rushes, so hopefully he's not chewing into Williams' role too much. As for the third-round rookie Miller, we could expect this signing to come to his detriment.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara will miss games against the Titans, Panthers, and Packers while serving his suspension. He can make his 2023 debut at home on Oct. 1 against the Bucs.

With rumors floating of four, six, or even eight games, a three-game suspension seems like the best-case scenario. This actually makes Kamara a bargain as he was going in the middle of the seventh round, but this news will no doubt make that more expensive soon. Expect Jamaal Williams to carry a lot of the load, with Kendre Miller rotating in for most of the first month. Williams remains a good value all the way back in the ninth round.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, who hasn’t signed his franchise tender, was spotted this morning boarding a flight leaving Las Vegas. Jacobs won’t report for training camp Tuesday and has told people close to him that he doesn’t plan to return anytime soon.

The possibility of a holdout seems to be increasing by the week for Jacobs. Any of the above three can be concerned as late-round sprinkles at this point, with 2022 fourth-rounder Zamir White the most intriguing.

The New Orleans Saints announced that they have placed WR Shaquan Davis, RB Kendre Miller, and WR A.T. Perry on Non-Football Injury.

With the initial excitement of the NFL Draft now months behind us, Kendre Miller's fantasy football stock has been slowly fading out of relevance in non-Dynasty leagues. This came to a head before this NFI designation on July 11th when Alvin Kamara pleaded no contest to his breach of the peach charges in a Las Vegas nightclub incident. This will likely deal an even bigger blow to the running back's ADP, which has dropped nearly a full round since the first week of June. He should be left off of your draft boards until further notice.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara agrees to plead no contest to misdemeanor charge of breach of peace for Las Vegas nightclub beating. He will have to do community service and pay $100K to victim for medical bills.

The NFL has historically drawn a line in the sand between misdemeanors and felonies, so this should presumably be good news in reference to Kamara's full-season availability. With that said, the NFL has kept mum on this situation so we don't know for certain whether or not he will face a suspension. Regardless, this is sure to boost his ADP while inversely affecting those of Williams and Miller.

We will continue to update Kamara's news page as we find out more information.

While Christian Watson got most of the attention for his big plays late last season, Doubs has seemingly become quarterback Jordan Love's go-to guy -- at least in the offseason practices. Whether it's in scripted team periods or move-the-ball drills like the two-minute simulation, Doubs has been targeted time and again. Don't forget, it was Doubs who starred last preseason when Love got all the No. 1 reps in the games because Aaron Rodgers didn't play. And Doubs was off to a strong start last year as a rookie until a midseason ankle injury changed his trajectory.

Related Players: Jayden Reed, Samori Toure

If Doubs becomes a target-hungry 1-2 punch with Watson, this inevitably pushes the rest of the Packers' options down the pecking order, most notably Jayden Reed. Reed was a second-round selection in this year's draft, but that doesn't automatically mean he will be an integral fantasy piece. This is a situation with fantasy ramifications that we need to keep an eye on.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels says Josh Jacobs is not under contract (hasn’t signed franchise tag) and therefore is not at mandatory minicamp. Perfect attendance, otherwise. Once again, he spoke highly of Jacobs & is respectful of this process.

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, Zamir White

Even though we haven't heard any updates, it's hard to assume that Josh Jacobs won't be suiting up well ahead of Week 1. Zamir White would be the contingency draft for the weary, as he was technically the first running back this coaching regimen had a hand in taking last year.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed K Brandon McManus, the team announced today. Additionally, the team has waived K Riley Patterson.

McManus, a nine-year veteran, has appeared in 144 games since 2014, all with Denver. In his nine seasons, McManus has converted 81.4 percent (223-of-274) of his field goal attempts and his 40 made field goals of 50-plus yards are third most in the NFL over that time span. His 946 total points are fifth-most in the NFL since 2014.

Things are heating up as we get some kicker news down the pipeline. As a team, Jacksonville scored the ninth-most points per drive and kicked the 11th-most field goals per game. Kicker enthusiasts rejoice; McManus has landed in a nice spot.

The #Packers have agreed to terms with QB Jordan Love on a new contract through 2024. Hours before the deadline for Green Bay to exercise Love’s option, the sides instead agree to a one-year extension that replaces Love’s existing deal.

Eight days after shipping Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, the Packers locked in Love for one more year. The team didn't take any of the receivers they were linked with in the first round, but they added a tight end in round two and wide receivers in the second, fifth, and seventh rounds.

If the offensive line can stay healthy, they can easily be a top-10 unit, and Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are still there as a fantastic one-two punch. Love is clearly still unproven but his infrastructure is probably better than many are giving him credit with.
