Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller was released by the Saints on Saturday, Nov. 7, according to a source.

Why It Matters: Miller's release comes out of nowhere on Saturday, but it makes sense with Travis Etienne set to come off the reserve/injured list in the next week or two. Currently, for Week 9, the New Orleans backfield features Alvin Kamara and recent signee Audric Estime, with CJ Donaldson inactive this week. Miller can be dropped in most fantasy leagues, and Estime is in the same boat as Miller was with the Saints: a flex play predicated on volume and the occasional touchdown.
