Week 16 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups: Grab Jerome Ford, Kendre Miller These fantasy football waiver wire adds could help your team in Week 16.
Steps up for injured starter Sunday Miller notched nine rushes for 46 yards and caught 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Commanders.
Impact Miller was hardly involved for most of the game but had to shoulder a bigger workload after RB1 Alvin Kamara exited with a groin injury early in the fourth quarter. The second-year backup logged eight carries and his lone target during this quarter, and he finished with a career-high in rushing yards. Meanwhile, RB3 Jamaal Williams finished with a carry or a target. Kamara did not return before the end of Sunday's contest, leaving his status uncertain for next week's contest versus Green Bay on Monday, Dec. 23. Should he miss time, then Miller should be in line to step in as the feature back for New Orleans.

Finds end zone in return Miller carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.
Impact Making his return to the lineup after a four-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Miller opened the scoring on the afternoon with an eight-yard score late in the first quarter. Alvin Kamara led the Saints' backfield with 22 touches, but Miller's 10 topped the five that Jamaal Williams handled, and the second-year back appears to be taking advantage of the clean slate he received when Dennis Allen was let go as head coach. Miller will look to build on this effort in Week 15 against the Commanders.

Active for Week 14 Miller (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact It was well reported that the Saints former head coach, Dennis Allen, wasn't a fan of Miller missing so much time early in his career due to injuries. However, interim head coach Darren Rizzi doesn't feel the same way and is excited to have Miller, who has missed 11 of 13 games this season due to two IR stints, back in the fold. While Rizzi remains optimistic about Miller's ability to make an impact, it's unclear how much the second-year running back will be involved against the Giants, as Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams are both active. In two appearances this season, Miller has totaled 11 touches for 53 yards across 28 offensive snaps. He also saw some work as a kick returner.

Activated off IR Miller (hamstring), who is still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Impact Miller is expected to make his return after a four-game absence come Sunday. The second-year running back has been injured frequently during his career and was reportedly in the former coaching regime's "doghouse", but interim head coach Darren Rizzi made a point of saying in a press conference that doesn't apply to his tenure in the position. It's unclear what that all means in terms of playing time for Miller, but the Saints should be invested in seeing what they have in the 2023 third-round pick.

Impact Miller had his practice window opened Wednesday, and while he may officially be listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against New York, it sounds like the second-year pro is on track to be activated from IR and retake the field. If Miller is indeed activated in time to suit up Week 14, he may get a chance to compete with Jamaal Williams for backup reps behind starter Alvin Kamara.

Returns to practice Miller (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Miller returned to practice in full Wednesday after missing the Saints' last four games due to a hamstring injury sustained in a Week 8 loss to the Chargers. The second-year running back from TCU now has 21 days to be activated to the Saints' active roster before reverting to IR. If Miller is activated in time to play in New Orleans' Week 14 matchup against the Giants, he'll likely serve as the team's No. 3 RB, playing behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams.

Lands on IR with hamstring injury The Saints placed Miller (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Miller missed the first six games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, though it's not clear whether his current hamstring issue is to the same leg. The 2023 third-round pick will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 13 against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 8 the earliest he can return. Jamaal Williams (groin) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, so the Saints signed Jordan Mims from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as Alvin Kamara's backup.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Logs another DNP Miller (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Miller has logged consecutive DNPs this week while working through a hamstring injury he picked up during the Saints' Week 8 loss to the Chargers. Unless he can practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, Miller would be in jeopardy of being ruled out ahead of Sunday's NFC South showdown against the Panthers. If he were to be inactive, Jamaal Williams (groin) would be in line to serve as the backup running back behind Alvin Kamara (hand/ribs).

Opens week as DNP Miller (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact Miller suffered a hamstring injury early in the second half of this past Sunday's game against the Chargers, which was severe enough for him to be ruled out for the rest of the contest. Miller will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity before Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Miller is unable to suit up, Jamaal Williams would step into the backup role behind lead back Alvin Kamara.

Won't return vs. Bolts Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Miller left the field early in the second half of Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, and he'll end his day with three carries for 16 yards. It's unclear whether the hamstring injury is to the same leg that caused him to miss the first six games of the regular season. Jamaal Williams will be the lone backup running back behind Alvin Kamara for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Hurts hamstring in Week 8 Miller (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Miller went to the locker room in the second half shortly before the nature of the injury was revealed. The second-year pro had three carries for 16 yards prior to getting hurt. Miller missed the first six games of the season due to a hamstring injury.

Sees first action of season Miller rushed six times for 36 yards and secured two of three targets for one yard in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
Impact The oft-injured 2023 third-round pick made his season debut following a long recovery from a hamstring injury sustained back in late July. Miller saw only two of his touches before the game was fully out of hand, but he looked good while gaining 25 of his rushing yards on back-to-back carries during the Saints' final drive. Now finally healthy, Miller could eventually start eating into Jamaal Williams' touches as the No. 2 running back, although the former will have to prove that consistent health is no longer elusive.
OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Active for first time this season Miller (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday versus the Broncos.
Impact For the first time this season, Miller is available to the Saints offense after completing his recovery from a hamstring injury that he sustained early in training camp. Having said that, Alvin Kamara also is suiting up, which means he should be good for his typical workload of 22 touches per game. As a result, Miller likely will be hard-pressed to see much, if any, action behind Kamara and Jamaal Williams.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Clear of injury report Miller (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Saints' estimate injury report Monday.
Impact Despite the Saints activating Miller from injured reserve Saturday, he was held out of Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers while Alvin Kamara assumed his normal workhorse role and Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims mixed in behind him. Coach Dennis Allen told John Hendrix of SI.com earlier Monday that he expects Miller "being ready to go this week," and the second-year pro's lack of listing on the team's first Week 7 injury report implies as much. Kamara was listed as limited due to a hand issue Monday, but assuming he's able to suit up as usual Thursday versus the Broncos, Miller may not have much of a role out of the Saints backfield behind Kamara and Williams, assuming all three are active.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Coach optimistic for Thursday debut Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he expects Miller (hamstring) to make his season debut Thursday against the Broncos, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Miller was activated off injured reserve Saturday but remained inactive for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. The 2023 third-round draft pick is expected to make his season debut Thursday, though official word on Miller's status won't come until later in the week. Once cleared to play, Miller will jostle with Jamaal Williams for backup touches behind Alvin Kamara.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Not suiting up Miller (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Miller missed the first five weeks of the season with a hamstring issue and was activated off injured reserve Saturday. Even after turning in three full practices, however, he'll be inactive once again. Jamaal Williams will remain the top backup to Alvin Kamara against Tampa Bay as a result.
