Rotoworld Player News

Kendre Miller

NO Running Back #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kendre Miller (illness) is not on New Orleans’ final Week 3 injury report.

He returned to practice today and practiced in full after missing Thursday to an illness. That’s not exactly a guarantee he’ll play; he was a healthy scratch last week behind Alvin Kamara.
Barion Brown

NO Wide Receiver #19

Saints ruled out WR Barion Brown (hamstring) for Week 3 against the Raiders.

The Saints will be without their gadget wide receiver and return specialist. His absence should allow WR Bryce Lance to consolidate routes in the No. 3 wide receiver role, but Lance is only a 14-team dart throw. Hopefully, Brown is back at it next week.
Travis Etienne

NO Running Back #3

Saints RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 3 against the Raiders.

We do not yet know today’s participation level, but Etienne logged two limited sessions to begin the week. Hopefully, we get a report pre-game revealing the injury’s severity, so we can better assess his potential usage. Given the Saints’ prior backfield workload splits and Etienne’s soft-tissue strain, he should probably be viewed as a low-end RB2/FLEX starter right now.
Barion Brown

NO Wide Receiver #19

Saints WR Barion Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday.

It seems like Brown is very unlikely to play at this point. His agility and long speed define his game as a gadget player and return specialist. His absence could benefit WR2 Devaughn Vele and WR Bryce Lance.
Kendre Miller

NO Running Back #5

Saints RB Kendre Miller (illness) did not practice on Thursday.

Illnesses very rarely sideline players on game day, though this is worth tracking. Saints committee leader, RB Travis Etienne, remains limited by a hamstring injury. Saints RB2 Alvin Kamara could log a decent touch count this weekend against the Raiders, though he is a fairly inefficient player at this point.
Travis Etienne

NO Running Back #3

Saints RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) was limited on Thursday.

Etienne remains limited, which keeps him in the questionable camp for the Saints’ Week 3 game against the Raiders. Saints RB3 Kendre Miller was sidelined by an illness, but those rarely impact NFL players’ availability on game day. Veteran RB Alvin Kamara should be rostered wherever he is available.
Barion Brown

NO Wide Receiver #19

Saints WR Barion Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday.

Brown generally contributes as a gadget receiver and in the return game. Were he to sit out in Week 3, his absence would likely be a bigger deal for the Saints than it would be for fantasy managers.
Travis Etienne

NO Running Back #3

Saints RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday.

Etienne begins the week with a limited session, which is either good or bad, depending on when the injury occurred. If this is a lingering issue from Sunday, Etienne should be considered likely to play. Limited practices early in the week are generally a good sign. However, if he suffered the injury during today’s practice, his Week 3 availability would be in jeopardy. Veteran Saints RB Alvin Kamara would likely get the start, but RB Kendre Miller would be FLEX-viable if Etienne sits.
Kelvin Banks Jr.

NO Left Offensive Tackle

Saints placed Kelvin Banks (ankle) on injured reserve.

The team signed long snapper Cal Adomitis and reached an injury settlement with running back Audric Estime in corresponding moves. Banks is undergoing surgery for a severe high-ankle sprain. He could return later this year, but the team will be without their starting left tackle for at least four games, and likely much longer.
Kelvin Banks Jr.

NO Left Offensive Tackle

Saints T Kelvin Banks is expected to undergo ankle surgery after tests revealed a “severe” high-ankle sprain.

He’s out indefinitely and this will be a major blow for the Saints offense. There’s a chance he returns at some point later this season. He almost undoubtedly will end up on injured reserve in the next few days. Banks had a 73.5 PFF grade last year as one of the brighter rookie tackles of the class of 2025. Asim Richards would seem like the likely short-term replacement.
