Outlook Kendre Miller
Contingency Upside in New Orleans as Alvin Kamara Opens the Year Sidelined
After avoiding the PUP list to begin camp, Kendre Miller enters the season with a chance to claim rotational work. With Alvin Kamara sidelined by a knee injury and depth backs placed on injured reserve, Miller has an opportunity to carve out touches alongside Travis Etienne Jr. and Audric Estimé.
However, our projections anticipate a limited workload, forecasting 46 carries for 184 rushing yards and two touchdowns (36.0 total fantasy points). Having managed only 133 carries over his first three NFL campaigns, Miller needs to show greater efficiency and passing-down involvement to warrant weekly fantasy consideration.
Market sentiment has cooled accordingly. Miller’s ADP steadily slipped from the mid-240s in late July down to roughly 377 by September. At his subterranean draft-day cost, he profiles as a low-risk, deep-bench stash whose value hinges entirely on backfield injuries creating a clearer path to volume.

Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson vs. Broncos — Backup Role Caps Week 1 Value
The rookie enters his NFL regular-season debut operating as the backup behind Kenneth Walker on Kansas City's depth chart. Head coach Andy Reid praised Johnson's hard-running style and tackle-breaking ability earlier in the preseason, but he remains in a strictly complementary role for Monday's divisional matchup against Denver.
Our weekly projection forecasts modest usage, slating Johnson for roughly 4 carries, 15 rushing yards, and a single reception for 3.4 fantasy points. While fantasy managers have stashed him in 18% of leagues as a handcuff, his near-zero start percentage indicates he belongs firmly on fantasy benches until his role expands.
