Kendre Miller or Najee Harris: Who Should You Start?

Harris edges Miller in a battle of two deep-bench committee backs, both SIT calls

Neither of these is anything more than a desperation flex, and the margin here is thin enough that health, not talent, decides it. Miller's questionable tag is the whole story — a downhill runner buried behind Etienne and Johnson in New Orleans's backfield picture, per ESPN's outlook piece, and he still carries real injury risk into Sunday. Harris is cleaner on paper: no designation, a full-go workload in a tighter Giants spread that keeps their offense competitive into the fourth quarter, which matters more for a short-yardage banger like him than a big raw point total does. Both project outside any usable range, so this is about which unowned name you'd rather stash, not who to actually trust in your lineup.

What flips it: A clean practice report clearing Miller's questionable tag would erase Harris's only real edge.
