Saints running backs Kamara and Miller continue to share workload in 2026

Summary

Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller are sharing duties in the New Orleans Saints backfield, as of October 22, 2026. Miller, after a 20-carry game in Week 6, has seen an increase in early-down work, challenging Kamara’s established role. Kamara remains a key factor in passing situations, maintaining a notable target share despite decreased rushing attempts. The Saints’ approach is evolving, which makes the decision for fantasy managers more complex as both players aim to maximize their opportunities in upcoming games.
