New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 14 divisional matchup with the Buccaneers. Kamara was held out of practice with ankle and knee injuries and will now miss his second consecutive game. After a slow start in a Week 13 loss to the Dolphins, sixth-round rookie Devin Neal finished with 47 rushing yards on 14 carries while adding three catches for another 22 yards. He showed good decisiveness and burst, but struggled to find any space behind a banged-up and overmatched offensive line, evidenced by almost 94% of his rushing yardage coming after contact. Tampa Bay has been uncharacteristically soft against the run this season, so Neal remains a low-end RB2/flex play, especially in PPR formats, having earned 10 targets over the past two weeks.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee), OT Taliese Fuaga (ankle) and S Justin Reid (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and have been ruled out for Week 14.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for Week 14.

Fantasy Spin: Devin Neal received most of the work at running back last week and finished with 69 total yards. He should see a similar workload this week and should see a few targets in the passing game in addition to his work in the running game. He can be a flex option in most leagues.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara appears to be on track to miss another game, but fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation over the next few days. Devin Neal will receive another start if Kamara sits out and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday due to ankle and knee injuries, per Sara Palczewski of Louisiana First News. Kamara suffered a sprained MCL in Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons and missed the Saints' Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Based on his lack of practice participation so far this week, it appears the 30-year-old could be trending towards his second straight missed game in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Kamara sidelined, Saints rookie running back Devin Neal served as the team's RB1 against Miami, recording 69 scrimmage yards on 17 touches. Neal profiles as a low-end RB2/high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 14 if Kamara does indeed remain out.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara did not play in the Week 13 game because of the injuries and could miss another game if he does not practice at some point this week. He is at least a flex option when healthy, but fantasy players will need other options ready in case he is ruled out.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) is missing another practice on Wednesday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Kamara sprained his MCL in the Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and did not play in the Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins after missing practice all of last week. With the Saints well out of playoff contention, it seems likely that the 30-year-old will miss another game this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Kamara out last Sunday, rookie Devin Neal made his first career start and played a season-high 82% of the offensive snaps, taking 17 touches for 69 yards from scrimmage. In a plus matchup, Neal will be on the RB2/3 borderline for fantasy managers as New Orleans' lead back if Kamara is forced to sit out another game.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and has been ruled out for Week 13.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for his team's Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Kamara has been managing an ankle issue for much of the season, and he suffered a knee sprain in Week 12 that is expected to cause him to miss some time. With Kamara and running back Kendre Miller (knee) sidelined, New Orleans will likely turn to rookie sixth-rounder Devin Neal as its lead back against Miami. Neal has recorded 125 scrimmage yards on 29 touches across seven games played so far this season. The Saints also have former Broncos running back Audric Estime in their backfield mix, and tight end Taysom Hill is always a candidate for some short-yardage rushing work. With Kamara out, Neal profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 13.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 13 game but is not a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list, according to head coach Kellen Moore.

Fantasy Spin: Devin Neal will see most of the work at running back while Kamara is sidelined. He should be involved in both the running and passing game in Week 13 and can be a flex option in fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara missed practice for the second consecutive day and is trending toward missing his first game of the season in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old suffered a knee sprain during New Orleans' Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and is expected to miss some time. He'll have one more opportunity to practice on Friday, but in all likelihood, it will be rookie Devin Neal leading the backfield on Sunday in Miami. Neal handled seven carries for 18 yards along with five catches (seven targets) for 43 yards in Kamara's absence last week, and offers RB2 value in Week 13 assuming Kamara is out.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara has missed the first two practices of the week and appears to be in danger of missing the Week 13 game. Fantasy players will know more about his status after the last practice of the week but should have other options ready in case he is ruled out.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) did not practice on Thursday, Nov. 27.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara missing two straight days of practice is not a good sign for his Week 13 potential. Fantasy shareholders should have a backup plan in place in the event he does not play.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Kamara was forced to exit early during Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He underwent an MRI, which revealed that Kamara is dealing with a sprain. There are still two more days for Kamara to get healthy enough to play, but fantasy managers should prepare to be without him. If he sits, Devin Neal figures to take over as the lead back for the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Neal could offer RB2 value if he takes over the starting gig this weekend.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara's availability for Week 13 is uncertain at this point, so fantasy players should check on his status later in the week. He will see a good amount of targets if he plays and can be a flex option in fantasy leagues.
