2024 RTSports Outlook

Kamara had a pretty ho-hum season for his standards, finishing just 16th overall in fantasy running back scoring. He had just two 100-yard rushing games. He had seven games with fewer than 50-rushing yards. Kamara did not top 900-rushing yards. And his work in the passing game was less, catching 57 passes. This was his lowest total in a full season. The Saint had some struggles offensively, though, which didn't help matters for Kamara. The quarterback position was a mess, so if that gets straightened out, Kamara could be a little more consistent. Kamara will turn 28 years old before the start of the season. He remains the starter for the Saints, but you have to wonder if he is starting to slow down a little at this stage of his career. He has at least 1,300 total yards all six seasons in the NFL and double-digit scores three of six. Kamara is a playmaker. He can line up as a receiver as well as a running back. He has plus hands and can get to the next level in a hurry. Kamara is a game changer. Plus, he runs with power despite not being the biggest back.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Kamara is not quite an elite fantasy back anymore. He is just outside that group. Look for him to rebound some, getting a few more scores and receptions. He is capable of being a top-10 fantasy back. Look for around 1,500 total yards, double-digit scores and 70 receptions.

Player Notes
Feb 21 2:10pm ET

NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill believes that New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is going to bring a running game that will give running back Alvin Kamara "more space" to operate in 2024. Kubiak, who comes to New Orleans from the San Francisco 49ers, is expected to add plenty of pre-snap motion, something the Saints rarely did in 2023. The 28-year-old Kamara finished second among all RBs last year with 75 catches on 86 targets for 466 yards and a touchdown through the air. He added 180 rushing attempts for 694 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, so perhaps the addition of Kubiak will make Kamara more productive on the ground next season. Still, fantasy managers should have hesitations about Kamara's overall effectiveness as a rusher as he enters his age-29 campaign in 2024.

The New Orleans Saints have declared RB Alvin Kamara, WR Keith Kirkwood, LB Monty Rice, QB Jake Haener, DL Kyle Phillips, OT Landon Young and CB Lonnie Johnson inactive for Week 18.

From TheHuddle

Jan 7 11:33am ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) will not play in Week 18's game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to a source.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara had been listed as questionable on the injury report despite not practicing at all during the week. RB Jamaal Williams should see a decent number of carries in Kamara's absence and can be viewed as a touchdown-dependent flex option in fantasy leagues.

Jan 7 10:50am ET

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is inactive for Week 18 versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The star playmaker had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices this past week. In his absence, Jamaal Williams will suit up as the Saints' starting running back. He figures to occupy an every-down role, putting him in the RB2 tier for fantasy purposes this Sunday.

From RotoBaller

Jan 7 8:53am ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) will participate in pregame warmups to determine if he will be able to play in Week 18's game versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to multiple sources.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara had been listed as questionable on the injury report despite not practicing at all during the week. He is a starting option in all leagues when healthy but fantasy players should make alternate plans in case he is held out of action.

From TheHuddle

Jan 7 8:20am ET

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 18, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He had been listed as questionable after missing all three practices this week. While playing less than two days after missing practice would represent a very quick turnaround, it looks like Kamara at least has a chance to suit up. If he does play, he could do so on a snap count, leading to more opportunities for Jamaal Williams. As of now, Williams ranks as a low-end RB3 whose value would instantly rise if Kamara is ruled out. The Saints will announce their inactive players 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

From RotoBaller

Jan 5 7:03pm ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 5, and is listed as questionable for Week 18.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara will be a game-time decision, so fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He is a starting option in all leagues when healthy, but fantasy players should have other options ready in case he sits out.

From TheHuddle

Jan 5 3:30pm ET

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) will be listed as questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the visiting Atlanta Falcons, and head coach Dennis Allen said Kamara will be a game-time decision on Sunday. "Alvin is one of the guys so valuable to our team, we'll take it all the way up to game time," Allen said. Kamara sprained his ankle in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is in danger of sitting out of a must-win game to close out the regular season. The good news is we'll know Sunday morning if he's able to play, and the 28-year-old workhorse back will still be a reliable high-floor DFS RB this weekend if he's active. If he doesn't get the green light, expect Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill to be the Saints' primary rushing options. In Week 12 against Atlanta, Kamara had 15 carries for 69 yards and four catches for 50 yards.

From RotoBaller

Jan 4 5:33pm ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) did not take part in practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday, Jan. 4.

Fantasy Spin: Two straight missed practices is a bad sign for Kamara's chances of playing. He's a borderline RB1 if he plays, but Jamaal Williams will become a touchdown-dependent flex play if Kamara doesn't suit up.

From TheHuddle

Jan 4 5:13pm ET

New Orleans Saints CB Lonnie Johnson (knee), RB Alvin Kamara (ankle), LB Nephi Sewell (knee) OT Landon Young (knee) and WR A.T. Perry (illness) did not practice on Thursday, Jan. 4. In addition, DT Khalen Saunders (concussion), RB Kendre Miller (ankle), C Erik McCoy (foot), WR Chris Olave (ankle), DE Payton Turner (toe) and TE Juwan Johnson (chest) were limited.

From TheHuddle

Jan 4 3:50pm ET

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday due to a sprained ankle he suffered in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even in a must-win game this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, Kamara isn't a lock to play if he cannot get back onto the practice field on Friday. Not having Kamara in the fold would be a big blow for the Saints offense in an important game. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday for the 28-year-old's final Week 18 status. If he's active Sunday, he's a must-start for those still competing for a fantasy championship in season-long leagues. If Kamara cannot go, Jamaal Williams and quarterback/tight end hybrid Taysom Hill would likely split the backfield duties.

From RotoBaller

Jan 3 7:03pm ET

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

Fantasy Spin: Kamara is considered day-to-day because of the injury, so fantasy players will need to wait to find out his status for Week 18. He is a weekly starting option in all leagues when healthy, but players will need other options available in case he sits out.

From TheHuddle

Jan 3 4:10pm ET

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) was not seen practicing with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Kamara sprained his ankle in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is now up in the air for the Week 18 regular season finale in a must-win game at home against the Atlanta Falcons. The 28-year-old is going to need to return to practice on Thursday or Friday to be a realistic option to play this weekend. If Kamara doesn't end up being cleared to play against Atlanta, Jamaal Williams will serve as the team's backfield leader, although quarterback/tight end hybrid Taysom Hill would also likely see a heavy dose of rushing attempts. If Kamara ends up suiting up, he'll be a must-start in all fantasy lineups in Week 18.

From RotoBaller

Jan 1 8:53pm ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is considered day-to-day because of the ankle injury he suffered during the Week 17 game, according to a source. He has a chance to play in the Week 18 game.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during the week to see if Kamara will be available for Week 18. He has struggled over the last few games but can still be a starting option in leagues if active.

From TheHuddle

Jan 1 6:30pm ET

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is truly day-to-day after spraining his ankle in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to sources. He'll have a chance to play in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Jan. 7, but it's too early right now to know for sure. The Saints and fantasy managers should have a better idea of Kamara can play this weekend after they get in a few practices, starting on Wednesday. If it's a high-ankle sprain, the 28-year-old would be unlikely to play a week later. But in a must-win game in order to make it into the playoffs, perhaps Kamara will suit up at less than 100 percent. If he's active, he should be started in all fantasy lineups if you're still playing for a championship. If Kamara cannot go in Week 18, Jamaal Williams would line up as the Saints' starting RB.

From RotoBaller

Jan 1 1:53pm ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain, and the team is waiting to see how he responds throughout the week, according to sources Monday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara exited the Week 17 game and didn't return due to the injury. If he can't play in the finale, Jamaal Williams should be expected to take most of the backfield work, making him a flex option.

From TheHuddle

Jan 1 3:33am ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) ran 10 times for 45 yards and caught both of his targets for four yards before leaving in the second half with an ankle injury in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

From TheHuddle

Dec 31 3:30pm ET

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had initially been listed as questionable after exiting during the second half. At the time of his departure, the star running back had amassed 45 rushing and four receiving yards. With both Kamara and Kendre Miller (ankle) sidelined, Jamaal Williams is the Saints' only healthy running back. However, the rushing attack could also get some support from Swiss army knife Taysom Hill.

From RotoBaller

Dec 31 3:23pm ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 17 game and has been ruled out.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see how long Kamara may be sidelined. Jamaal Williams probably will receive most of the work if Kamara misses time and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

From TheHuddle

Dec 31 12:03pm ET

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is officially active for the Week 17 game.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara should receive his normal workload this week despite the illness and likely will be involved in both the running and passing game. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
