2025 Fantasy Outlook
It's been pretty much no-boom, all-bust with Miller since the Saints selected him in the third round out of TCU in 2023, and by now it would be understandable if someone were losing their patience, the Saints included. Miller has been injured almost constantly since that draft, playing in only 14 games, including only six games in 2024 after suffering a hamstring injury on the first day of training camp. That injury kept out Miller until Week 7, yet in his second game back Miller suffered another hamstring injury, which left him inactive for the next five weeks. Alvin Kamara is locked into a three-down role for 2025, and Miller's best-case scenario is likely one where he's a sparingly used RB2 behind Kamara. Not even that much is assured, though, because rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal is nothing if not reliable, and the Saints could understandably find stability attractive after investing so much fruitless patience in Miller the last two years. Miller is still only 23 and might have some amount of untapped upside despite his injury issues, but if he doesn't put it all together soon a guy like Neal can take Miller's spot. Read Past Outlooks

Lands on IR
The Saints placed Miller (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Miller's move to IR was merely a formality after head coach Kellen Moore confirmed that the third-year running back sustained a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears. The 23-year-old will be entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026 and could have a chance at making it back for Week 1 of next season, though it will be contingent on him avoiding any setbacks in the long rehab process from surgery. Devin Neal is expected to step in as the Saints' new No. 2 running back in place of Miller, who had amassed 193 yards and one touchdown on 47 carries to go with five catches for 30 yards over seven games while serving as Alvin Kamara's top backup.

2023
Miller's rookie season was brief and inconclusive, but it had some promising glimpses. The 2023 third-round pick out of TCU would have faced a crowded depth chart either way with Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams ahead of him, but Miller never even got the chance to compete for reps due to a preseason knee injury and then an in-season ankle sprain. The flickers of playing time in between were interesting, particularly the pass-catching upside Miller showed against New England in Week 5 (four catches for 53 yards on four targets) and the rushing output against Atlanta in Week 18 (13 carries for 73 yards and one touchdown). Kamara and Williams are still on the roster, but Miller should at least make a push for some of the work that went to Williams during his ineffective debut season in New Orleans (2.9 YPC, one TD).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be set for more touches
Miller could be in line for more consistent touches following a strong Week 4 performance against the Bills, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has battled injuries during his first two years as a pro, but he has been healthy so far in 2025. His touches have progressively increased, highlighted by 11 carries in Week 4. He turned that into 65 yards and a touchdown, a performance that could convince the team to give him more consistent opportunities behind starting RB Alvin Kamara.
