Summary
Kamara proved that his strong RB1 value wasn't based only on unsustainable efficiency last year. He was a terrific scorer and pass catcher as usual, but also played the bell cow role when Mark Ingram was out. Latavius Murray was added to replace Ingram, who left for Baltimore in free agency, and he's arguably not quite at Ingram's level, so this swap can only be seen as a plus for Kamara. The pass offense will have a deeper and more developed set of targets this year, which could be a small negative for him, but Kamara is also getting into his prime, turning 24 this year, so that progression in his career arc alone could help him surpass previous production levels. He's worth the premium pick it will take to land him. (May 1)FBG Staff Rankings

Saints | Alvin Kamara has more to prove (Sun Jun 16, 02:15 PM) - New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara will be tasked with an expanded role in 2019 with the departure of backfield mate Mark Ingram. 'I'm so anxious to see like, 'What else?'' Kamara said recently. 'You know what I'm saying? What else could I do? Where else could I line up? How else could I be successful? That's the best part of this profession for me. What's the next step you're going to take? 'Ok, he was good last year. How are you going to prove that you are what you are?'' Our View: Kamara has a shot to be the #1 overall fantasy running back with a larger role this year. He is in a very stable offense and probably has the least risk any of the top four backs.link to story
