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.
| Footballguys view: The Saints could turn to Jamaal Williams as their lead back if Kamara has to miss time. Rookie Kendre Miller could get more work if Kamara is out. The Saints have a 31 percent chance to make the postseason. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara dealing with ankle sprain Mon Jan 1, 01:45 PM
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.
| Footballguys view: At halftime, Kamara was ruled out of Week 17 against the Buccaneers, finishing with 10 carries for 45 yards, adding two catches for four additional yards. Against the Falcons in Week 18, the Saints might be leaning on veteran Jamaal Williams as their primary back. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara injures ankle Sun Dec 31, 03:20 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 17 game and has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Kamara ended up being a good pick at a depressed ADP because of a three-game suspension to open the season, but he was a lineup liability in the two most important weeks of the fantasy season. He is due over $11 million next year, so this might have been his last game as a Saint if he can't play next week and the team doesn't go to the playoffs. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara a DNP on Friday Fri Dec 29, 02:54 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (illness) did not practice due to an illness on Friday, Dec. 29.
| Footballguys view: If you made it through to the next round of the fantasy playoffs with Kamara last week (nine carries for 19 yards with five receptions for 16 yards) then consider yourself lucky. A DNP on Friday is not great, but this is an illness so Kamara could be out there in Week 17. Against the Buccaneers on Sunday, we've got Kamara as an RB2 for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 56 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. He also caught three passes for negative 11 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara scored, but didn't need to do much as a receiver with the Saints controlling this game throughout. Jamaal Williams also got more work as the Saints started out establishing the run, which took away some of the upside that Taysom Hill's absence gave Kamara today. Consider Kamara a solid RB2 against the Giants next week. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 69 yards on 15 carries against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12. He also caught four passes for 50 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara looked spry and strong and he will have to shoulder more of the passing game next week Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (leg) both leaving this game early. He's a solid RB1 play against Detroit next week. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara piling up receptions Sat Nov 25, 12:47 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara's 50 receptions this season are tied for 24th in the NFL and are the most among running backs.
| Footballguys view: No matter if it's Derek Carr or Jameis Winston, Kamara is a consistent target out of the backfield. While Kamara is averaging a career-low 3.7 yards per carry, his receiving ability is a boost for his fantasy value. At this time, Kamara ranks as the no.28 fantasy running back in standard-scoring formats. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 26 yards on nine carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. He also caught four passes for 44 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara was down a little this week with Taysom Hill dominating the box score, but the overall improvement in the Saints offense is going to help him have more scoring opportunities and higher efficiency going forward. He'll run at the Vikings tough run defense next week. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 59 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. He also caught four passes for 51 yards and one touchdown during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara's value hasn't been hurt by the return of Jamaal Williams, and he was able to score today even though Taysom Hill also scored twice. Kamara was also an elite play this week even though he wasn't given an inordinate number of short passes as Derek Carr spread his wings in the downfield passing game. Kamara is looking like one of the biggest values in 2023 fantasy drafts. |

Saints | Busy night for Alvin Kamara Fri Oct 20, 01:51 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara had 17 carries for 62 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, Oct. 19. He added a game-high 12 receptions (on 14 targets) for 91 yards. Kamara led the team in both rushing and receiving yardage.
| Footballguys view: Derek Carr and this pass offense's inability to have success pushing the ball downfield is inflating Kamara's PPR value to new heights. He should be targeted frequently again next week vs. a Colts defense that is very good against the run. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 80 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries against the New England Patriots in Week 5. He also caught three passes for 17 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kamara is getting enough work to be an everyweek start. In matchups where the Saints defense will control the game, he could have a big rushing workload like he did today. When the Saints are playing from behind, he'll get a lot of dumpoffs from Derek Carr, like he did last week. Kamara is looking like a big hit for fantasy players who were willing to wait out his three-week suspension. |

Saints | Kamara suspended three games Fri Aug 4, 04:22 PM
Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports that Saints RB Alvin Kamara will receive a three-game suspension for his role in a 2022 Las Vegas nightclub brawl.
| Footballguys view: Kamara's depressed ADP assumed a suspension was coming, but this is on the low end of the expectations. Three games is less than 1/4 of a typical fantasy regular season, so drafting him as an RB3/RB4 won't really hurt your team and you could gain an RB2 for fantasy when he returns. Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller get a small hit on their value with this news. Expect Kamara's ADP to inch up now that his status is known. |

Saints | Suspension expected for Alvin Kamara Wed Aug 2, 02:59 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is expected to be suspended for the night club incident he was involved in last year that led to his pleading no contest to misdemeanor chargers.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here now that the legal process has been exhausted. The length of that suspension may be determined by his upcoming meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Veteran Jamaal Williams is there to carry the load if/when Kamara is suspended. Along with Williams, rookie RB Kendre Miller could get some more playing time as well. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara meeting with Commish Wed Aug 2, 10:45 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell Wednesday, Aug. 2.
| Footballguys view: Hopefully we will get news about whether he'll suspended and for how long soon, even soon enough to update rankings for this weekend's fantasy drafts. His ADP puts him around the 8th round of drafts, but there's a large range he ends going in because of the uncertainty around his suspension. If he is only suspended for 2-3 games, his ADP should go up, but if it is six games or more, it could drop and bring free agent pickup Jamaal Williams and third-round pick Kendre Miller's ADP up in addition. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara settles on misdemeanor charge Tue Jul 11, 01:41 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara agreed to plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of breach of peace stemming from the Las Vegas nightclub fight in 2021 on Tuesday, July 11. Kamara will perform community service and pay $100,000 to the victim to help with his medical bills, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Kamara is not going to serve any time, but the NFL could still suspend him for this incident. Now that the legal process has been resolved, the league will take action...and who knows what that's going to mean for Kamara. He could be suspended, but he could just be fined. This uncertain situation has already been cooked into Kamara's ADP, with Fantasy GMs taking him off the board in the low-end RB2 territory (fifth round in 12 team PPR leagues). |

Saints | Restructured deal possible for Alvin Kamara Mon Feb 13, 09:20 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara may be asked to restructure his contract this offseason because the team can save around $7.65 million in salary cap space with a reworked deal.

We'll see if the Saints make a coaching change, and then we'll see if Kamara is suspended for an incident at last year's Pro Bowl. A preliminary hearing on battery charges is set for March 1st. |
