"The fourth-year QB isn't exactly known for his mobility, but he gained more yards on the ground than through the air in two drives as part of an overall poor performance from the Vikings' offense. Howell is set as the top backup to J.J. McCarthy this season, but the 2024 first-round pick would have to be a significant flop, or suffer another serious injury, for the former Commander and Seahawk to see more than mop-up duty this season."

"Miller is entering his third NFL season having accrued only 95 touches in 14 career games. That's a big letdown for a former third-round pick, and though a variety of injuries have been a culprit, he has yet to even lock down clear backup duties to Alvin Kamara when healthy. The good news is he's young (23), capable as both a rusher and receiver and should have a fresh start under a new coaching staff led by Kellen Moore. Kamara remains the lead back in New Orleans, but he turns 30 this year, which opens to the door for Miller to be a valuable insurance back if he can fend off Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Devin Neal for No. 2 duties. Miller is a fine late-round lottery ticket."

"Miller missed New Orleans' regular-season finale due to a concussion in 2024, after a pair of hamstring injuries had forced him to miss all but two of the team's first 12 games; however, he's now fully healthy. Miller will turn only 23 in June, so he still has an opportunity to secure the No. 2 role behind Kamara, a three-down workhorse who is entering his age 30-season. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and rookie sixth-rounder Devin Neal represent Miller's top competition for backup reps. Head coach Kellen Moore said he views this offseason as "a blank slate" for Miller, per John Sigler of USA Today, but the reality is that the 2023 third-round pick is likely running out of chances to prove he can stay healthy. Injuries have limited Miller to just 14 regular-season appearances (out of 34 possible games) since entering the league, and he's mustered 80 carries for 304 yards (3.8 YPC) and two scores in that span."
