Alvin Kamara NEWS
Alvin Kamara "Ready To Go" Against Eagles
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quad/personal) missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to full practice on Friday and will play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Kamara has had an up-and-down fantasy season, but given the landscape of the running back position, he's tough to bench at this point in the year. The Eagles present just a neutral matchup for fantasy running backs, so Kamara has plenty of PPR upside for the fantasy football championship round.
Dec 30, 2022 • 7:56 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Misses Another Practice
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quadriceps, personal) was out of practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Kamara's status for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles is now firmly in question, so it will be interesting to see if he returns to the practice field on Friday. The Saints would be in a lot of trouble if the 27-year-old is unable to play this weekend, as they'd have to lean on veteran David Johnson and Eno Benjamin against a tough Philly defensive front. Tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill could quite possibly lead the team in rushing if that were the case. Either way, fantasy managers will need to monitor Kamara's status on Friday and into Sunday's game. If he's active, he'll be in play as an RB2 for fantasy managers.
Dec 29, 2022 • 9:37 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Sits Out Wednesday's Practice
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (quadriceps, personal) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Kamara's injury isn't believed to be serious, so it's likely that he's just getting a personal rest day to begin the practice week. If he's able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he'll likely suit up in Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 27-year-old hasn't been as valuable in PPR fantasy leagues this year because of his drop in usage on third downs, but Kamara remains the Saints' lead back and has 20-plus carries in each of the last two games. He's the RB17 in half-point PPR setups and will be in play as an RB2 this weekend against the Eagles if he's active. If for some reason Kamara is unable to play, it could be veteran David Johnson leading this backfield.
Dec 28, 2022 • 10:11 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara, Cameron Jordan Expected To Play In Week 12
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) and pass rusher Cameron Jordan (eye) are expected to be active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Kamara has played in nine games this season and ranks as the RB14 after compiling 511 rushing yards, 385 receiving yards, and three total touchdowns. He falls into the low-end RB1 tier this Sunday and should see his value rise during a streak of juicy matchups from Weeks 15 to 17. Meanwhile, Jordan has amassed 42 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2022. His return should benefit the Saints as they look to slow down a 49ers offense loaded with playmakers.
Nov 27, 2022 • 1:40 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Misses Thursday's Practice
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice. The 27-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. This is likely more of a rest day than anything else for Kamara. Fantasy managers should expect Kamara to suit up against the San Francisco 49ers. The star back has failed to score in three straight games. He should be considered a low-end RB2 for this upcoming matchup.
Nov 24, 2022 • 11:04 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara's Trial Set for March 1
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was charged with battery, resulting in substantial bodily harm in February. The veteran running back's trial has been set for March 1, closing the door on any potential suspension for the superstar this season. However, Kamara will likely get suspended to start next year. Dynasty players might want to consider trading away the veteran running back, especially if they aren't a title-contending team. Not only will Kamara likely miss several games to start next season, but he is an older running back. Meanwhile, the superstar remains a plug-and-play RB1 for the rest of the 2022 season.
Nov 9, 2022 • 7:15 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Active For Week 5
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) is active for the Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. This is good news after Kamara has missed two previous contests due to the same issue. Kamara isn't having a great season, but is a must-start against the Seahawks defense. He should have plenty of success despite his slow start to the year. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups with Kamara suiting up. Mark Ingram II won't have much streaming appeal now.
Oct 9, 2022 • 3:35 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Likely To Return In Week 5
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) is expected to play on Sunday versus Seattle, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The veteran, who missed his previous two games, was limited in practice throughout the week and had been riding a questionable tag. Despite Kamara's subpar production this season, he should be classified as a must-start (assuming he plays) against a Seahawks defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Kamara's anticipated presence in Week 5 isn't good news for Mark Ingram II, who is expected to reclaim his backup role, thus lowering his potential on the fantasy end.
Oct 9, 2022 • 5:10 AM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Officially Questionable For Week 5
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) has been listed as questionable on the team's final injury report heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Kamara was a limited participant in practice all week and stated that he feels good and plans to suit up. Luckily for fantasy managers, the Saints kick off at 1 PM EST on Sunday, so Kamara's status will be announced ahead of most games. Assuming he is good to go, the five-time Pro-Bowler should be started in all formats as the Seahawks have allowed the fourth-most PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
Oct 8, 2022 • 1:08 AM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Expects To Return In Week 5
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (rib) said he's feeling good and plans to play in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks after he missed the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London last week. He was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Kamara's rib injury has caused him to miss two of the team's four games already this year, but it sounds like he'll be ready to go this Sunday. The 27-year-old will wear extra padding to be on the safe side with his rib injury. If Kamara returns to action, he'll be in play as an RB2 in fantasy, and he could see even more usage in the passing game if receiver Michael Thomas (foot) misses his second straight game. If Kamara doesn't gain clearance for this weekend, veteran Mark Ingram II will once again serve as the Saints lead back.
Oct 6, 2022 • 4:09 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Logs A Limited Practice On Wednesday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday after being scratched early Sunday morning ahead of the team's loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Kamara also practiced in a limited capacity last week, so fantasy managers should monitor the situation closely to see if he is truly in line to suit up in Week 5. If Kamara is upgraded to a full participant at some point this week, he could be primed for a bounce-back performance against a Seattle Seahawks defense that has allowed the fourth-most PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs so far this season.
Oct 5, 2022 • 11:15 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Inactive For Week 4
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (rib) will not play against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4, head coach Dennis Allen tells Stacey Dales of NFL Network. The 27-year-old had been listed as questionable heading into the contest. New Orleans will now be without three key offensive weapons in Kamara, Jameis Winston (back), and Michael Thomas (foot). Although none of the Saints' playmakers have excessive fantasy appeal due to the dull state of the offense, Mark Ingram projects as a fine mid-to-low RB3 as he draws the start in Kamara's absence.
Oct 2, 2022 • 12:00 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Given Another Questionable Tag
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (rib) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings in London, but he's considered likely to play. NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill thinks that quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back, hip) being doubtful to play will be "great news" for Kamara's fantasy upside this weekend with backup Andy Dalton under center. Unlike Winston, Dalton will be much more willing to check down to Kamara under the backfield. The Vikings have also been generous when it comes to allowing receptions to RBs through three weeks. And with Michael Thomas (foot) out, there will be more targets available. Kamara is expected to play in London and will have RB2 upside in PPR leagues.
Sep 30, 2022 • 4:11 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Limited In Practice To Begin The Week
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs), wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (concussion) and tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) were all limited in Wednesday's practice. Kamara returned to the Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers after sitting out in Week 2. He finished with 73 total yards on 17 touches, but backfield mate Mark Ingram II vultured a touchdown at the goal line. Barring a setback at practice this week, Kamara should be just fine for the Week 4 game in London against the Minnesota Vikings. The 27-year-old has been a disappointment so far, picking up 100 yards on 24 carries (4.2 yards per tote) while catching five of 11 targets for 19 yards in two games.
Sep 28, 2022 • 4:38 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Officially Active For Week 3
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) is active for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. He has been banged up most of the season due to a ribs issue. Kamara missed last week's game, but will get back on the field for this game. There is no word on Kamara being limited, so fantasy managers should expect him to get a full workload. Fantasy managers should consider Kamara a low-end RB1 for this matchup.
Sep 25, 2022 • 3:42 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Expected To Play Sunday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (rib) is expected to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He had been listed as questionable heading into this weekend. Kamara amassed just 11 touches for 43 scrimmage yards in Week 1 before missing last Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Still, with a favorable matchup on tap, he should be viewed as a low-end RB1 in fantasy football.
Sep 25, 2022 • 12:17 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Questionable To Play In Week 3
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers after being a limited participant in practice all week. Kamara was inactive in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he's closer to returning to the field this week. If he's unable to go, Mark Ingram II and Tony Jones Jr. would continue to split the backfield, with Ingram being the primary back for fantasy purposes as a deep-league flex. If Kamara does return against Carolina, he'll be at risk of seeing a smaller workload as well, putting him as a risky low-end RB2 play for fantasy managers.
Sep 23, 2022 • 10:46 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Is Limited Again On Thursday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was limited once again for Thursday's practice. The 27-year-old was limited on Wednesday and now Thursday, which should put him as questionable to play in Week 3. He continues to deal with a lingering ribs issue, so fantasy managers might have to wait until later in the week for more information. Kamara would have low-end RB1 value, assuming he can suit up against the Carolina Panthers. Otherwise, Mark Ingram II and Tony Jones Jr. would be asked to carry the load once again.
Sep 22, 2022 • 10:33 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Limited On Wednesday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Kamara was inactive in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's a good sign that he was at least limited in the first practice session this week. The Saints' coaching staff will probably want to see him do more later this week before clearing him to play in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers, so fantasy managers should consider him questionable for now. The 27-year-old was a disappointment in Week 1, playing 62 percent of the snaps while carrying just nine times for 39 yards and catching three of four targets for seven yards. In his absence last weekend, Tony Jones Jr. saw 50% of the snaps, with Mark Ingram II seeing 36.8% while leading the team with 10 carries for 60 yards.
Sep 21, 2022 • 11:53 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Dealing With Rib Cartilage Fracture
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) has been diagnosed with a rib cartilage fracture, according to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer. Notably, this is the same injury that Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered on Thursday night. As a result of Kamara's injury, he was held out of action in Week 2, and his availability for Week 3 is also far from a guarantee. Mark Ingram will serve as the lead back for the duration of Kamara's absence.
Sep 18, 2022 • 5:41 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Officially Out For Week 2
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) has been officially ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Kamara didn't practice much this week. The Saints will need to lean on Mark Ingram II (ankle) and Tony Jones Jr. against the Bucs tough run defense. Ingram is already battling an injury himself, so Jones could see more snaps than expected. Despite that, neither should be considered anything more than a low-end RB3 for this Week 2 matchup.
Sep 18, 2022 • 3:17 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Is Not Expected To Play Much
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) is not expected to play much if he plays at all during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He didn't practice much this week as he continues to dealing with a lingering ribs issue. The Saints might let him play, but will likely monitor his snaps. That being said, it sounds like Kamara is going to be a risky option against an already tough Bucs defensive line. His absence would mean more snaps for Mark Ingram II (ankle) who is banged up as well. It sounds like the Saints are going to have to attack through the air to move the ball on Sunday.
Sep 18, 2022 • 1:33 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Not Anticipated To Play In Week 2
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the Buccaneers. The veteran didn't have a good week of practice, suiting up in a limited capacity or missing sessions altogether due to a rib injury. Fortunately, Mark Ingram II (ankle) is anticipated to be available, so he is more than capable of filling the void left by Kamara's likely absence. Tony Jones Jr. and Dwayne Washington (hamstring) could also get some touches, although not enough to make either man a dependable fantasy option.
Sep 18, 2022 • 5:54 AM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Not Spotted At Practice Friday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was not on the field for the portion of Friday's practice that was open to the media. This doesn't necessarily mean he was a non-participant, but at the very least, he was significantly limited. For what it's worth, he was limited on Wednesday but did not practice on Thursday. Between his lack of participation and the Saints' signing of Latavius Murray, it's fair to wonder if Kamara could be inactive for Week 2. If that is the case, Mark Ingram would start at running back against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, giving him RB3 appeal in fantasy football.
Sep 16, 2022 • 6:58 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Doesn't Practice Thursday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was present but not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media after he was limited in practice on Wednesday with a rib injury. It's possible that the Saints are giving Kamara a day to rest, but we'll know more about his Week 2 status on Friday. Fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place just in case the 27-year-old is unable to go on Sunday in a divisional clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons in which he saw just nine carries for 39 yards on 62% of the snaps, Kamara's fantasy stock is already falling. Tight end Taysom Hill was more productive on his four carries and also scored a touchdown. Hill and veteran Mark Ingram II figure to split backfield touches if Kamara is inactive.
Sep 15, 2022 • 10:12 PM | RotoBallerAlvin Kamara Dealing With Rib Issue
New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that running back Alvin Kamara (rib) was dealing with a rib issue in the narrow Week 1 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, but Allen said, "I think he's going to be fine." Kamara out-snapped Mark Ingram II 38 to 20 on Sunday, carrying the ball nine times for 39 yards while added three receptions for seven yards through the air. The problem was tight end Taysom Hill, who stole four carries away for a team-high 81 yards on the ground and one touchdown. Negative game script didn't help the 27-year-old, but if Hill continues to be involved on the ground, it will lower Kamara's ceiling. Check his injury status this week, but it sounds as though he should be ready to go in a tough matchup against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.
