Should You Start or Sit Kendre Miller in Week 17?
I think we can pretty safely rule out the Saints as a team at this point. They were unable to field a competitive team on Monday night, which resulted in Kendre Miller being fortunate to get to his 31 yards of production.
He’s the lead back in this offense and figures to hold that label for the rest of the season, but I’d rather Flex any receiver with any semblance of upside than chase my tail with this offense.
