Saints RB Kendre Miller has hamstring injury, questionable status for Week 1

Aug 31, 2023

Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Kendre Miller has a hamstring injury. Wouldn’t say if it will impact Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

As it stands, the only active running backs on the Saints roster are Jamaal Williams and Kirk Merritt, though Jordan Mims and Tony Jones are on the practice squad. 4for4's injury expert, Jeff Mueller, believes the hamstring is related to offseason knee surgery, which will impact his Week 1 status. Either Williams is going to have a monster workload right out of the gate, or the team will be immediately signing a free agent option to eat into that (still large) workload.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
