Fantasy Football Player Notes

Alvin Kamara is banged up. Last week, he had only a 27.9% snap rate with 17.6% of the rushing attempts and a 7.7% route share. I'd love to tell you to flex Kamara this week, but with this minuscule playing time, I can't. Kamara is dealing with a back issue. He opened this week with a limited practice session.

Last week, Kendre Miller took over as New Orleans' primary early down back with 58.8% of the team's rushing attempts while playing 30.2% of the snaps. Miller finished with ten rushing attempts and 30 rushing yards (one score). Miller hasn't had an explosive run this season while logging only 1.45 yards after contact per attempt and a 14% missed tackle rate. None of those metrics are good. Miller is a touchdown-dependent flex play. Miller at least has a good matchup this week. The Giants have allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-highest rushing success rate, and the ninth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
