Fantasy Football Player Notes

Alvin Kamara finished RB9 in PPF fantasy scoring last year despite missing three games. He was RB5 in PPR points per game, checking in at 19.0. The concerns are that Kamara is entering his age-30 season and that the Saints' offense could be a train wreck as they endure a transitional season at quarterback. But it's a good bet that Kamara will be a favorite safety valve for the young New Orleans QBs, so Kamara's receiving totals figure to be robust yet again.

Kendre Miller looks like the direct handcuff to Alvin Kamara this year. The jury is still out on Miller as an NFL player after only 39 carries last year and 80 carries total in his NFL career. Injuries have led to minimal playing time over the last two seasons. Last year, when he was on the field, he looked good, though posting a 5.1% explosive run rate and 26% missed tackle rate (per Fantasy Points Data). We'll see if he can hold the RB2 job for 2025, but he's worth a dart throw in the later rounds of fantasy, especially in deeper leagues.
