Miller

•

Kendre Miller’s per-game stats have not been great, as he’s primarily been a backup and has left several games early. However, his per-play numbers in both the run and pass game are relatively strong. Both his avoided tackles per rushing attempt and yards per route run rank among the top six among running backs over the last two seasons.

Miller averages 7.1 yards per carry on perfectly blocked runs compared to 2.8 on non-perfectly blocked runs. Miller should see a higher rate of perfectly blocked runs this year, helping his performance. The health of Erik McCoy and the addition of first-round rookie Kelvin Banks Jr. should help Miller see more perfectly blocked runs.

There is also a chance Miller could earn some playing time from Kamara. Miller’s rushing grade is slightly better than Kamara’s over the last two seasons. The two have identical yards per carry, with Miller having more yards after contact per attempt, and twice as many avoided tackles per run. Miller has a slightly higher first-down rate. There is a seven-year age gap between Kamara and Miller, as Miller is more likely to improve while Kamara is more likely to decline.
