New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Kamara started out the week with a DNP on Wednesday before he was limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday. The fact that the 29-year-old got in two straight days of practice puts him on the right side of questionable leading into Sunday's divisional clash, but fantasy managers will still want to check the Sunday morning inactives list to be sure. If Kamara is out or limited at all, it will mean more work for backup Jamaal Williams. Kamara, who has been a big part of the Saints' offense through three weeks, could see even more work through the air if he suits up and receiver Chris Olave (hamstring). Tight end Taysom Hill is another option for backfield work if Kamara is inactive this week. If active, Kamara needs to be started in all fantasy lineups as a clear-cut RB1.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) was limited at practice for the second straight day on Friday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara was able to log two limited practices after sitting out to start the week, but the lack of a full session means his status is truly up in the air. He's a locked-in RB1 if he suits up, but if not, Jamaal Williams is the next man up and becomes a flex option. Taysom Hill, who carries no designation after sitting out last week, would also be in line for more work on the ground, elevating him to slightly more than a boom-or-bust TE2.

New Orleans Saints LB Demario Davis (hamstring), OG Cesar Ruiz (knee) and WR A.T. Perry (hamstring) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 27, and have been ruled out for Week 4. Also, WR Cedrick Wilson (ankle) did not practice and is questionable, WR Chris Olave (hamstring) and RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) were limited and are questionable and QB Derek Carr (groin), TE Taysom Hill (chest), LB D'Marco Jackson (calf), DT Khalen Saunders (calf), OT Landon Young (foot) and CB Alontae Taylor (illness) practiced in full and carry no designation.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) was able to get on the practice field for Friday's session. This is good news after Kamara sat out of Wednesday's practice, but has been involved each of the last two days. The fact that Kamara has practiced two days in a row should mean that he'll be fine for the Week 4 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Unless he suffers a setback, Kamara should be a must-start fantasy option for this Week 4 contest. He has 285 rushing yards and four touchdowns through the first three games of the season.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) was limited in practice on Thursday, Sept. 26, after not participating the day before.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara's upgrade in participation is a great sign for his chances of playing in Week 4. He's a locked-in RB1.

From TheHuddle

Sep 26 2:00pm CT

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) is back at practice on Thursday following a Wednesday absence due to a hip and rib injury. While the veteran could be dealing with a notable injury, the team may be simply being cautious with him since he's the current NFL leader in total touches (71). Hopefully, Kamara does not suffer any setbacks and will be good to go for Sunday's NFC South clash against the Atlanta Falcons. He is currently the No. 2 scorer among running backs in half PPR leagues, so if he's active, he's a must-start in all matchups. If he surprisingly can't play in Week 4, Jamaal Williams would likely see close to a workhorse role and would become a flex consideration.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs, hip) did not practice on Wednesday due to hip and rib injuries, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Kamara's status throughout the week, but this injury does not seem serious after his workload was not limited in any way in Week 3. Last weekend, Kamara carried the ball 26 times and caught three passes. This was the second time this season he ran the ball at least 20 times and saw at least three targets. The star running back will have two more practices during the week to get himself ready to face the Atlanta Falcons. If Kamara sees his full workload on Sunday, he should be viewed as a safe RB1.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, rib) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Kamara is in any danger of missing the Week 4 game. He is usually involved in both the running and passing game when he plays and is a weekly starting option in all leagues when healthy.

Sep 23 3:10am CT

The New Orleans Saints relied heavily on running back Alvin Kamara against the Eagles in Week 3. He ended the game with 26 carries for 87 rushing yards and caught all three of his targets for 40 yards through the air. Kamara handled the ball nine times on the Saints' 17-play opening drive that chewed up half of the first quarter and later turned to him on seven consecutive plays across their first two drives of the second half. New Orleans remained dedicated to force-feeding their dynamic back even though their offensive line could not make much headway against Philadelphia's defensive front. Over the first two weeks of the season, Kamara had 10 runs of 10 yards or more but didn't break a gain that big until the fourth quarter when he turned loose for 16 yards, one of just five carries that went for more than five yards on Sunday. In Week 4, Kamara and the Saints will face off against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 87 yards on 26 carries against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. He also caught three passes for 40 yards during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara is probably the most important player on offense for the Saints and will continue to see plenty of touches during games. He is a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara went off in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, scoring four touchdowns and gaining 180 scrimmage yards. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has breathed new life into the Saints' stale offense, transforming them into one of the most efficient attacks in the NFL. Two weeks is a small sample but the Saints' lead running back is looking like his old self again, averaging 5.7 yards per carry and is tied for the league's most rushes of 10 or more yards. In Week 3, Kamara faces a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has allowed a league-worst 6.4 yards per carry and gave up 122 total yards to Bijan Robinson last week. Kamara is undoubtedly a must-start on Sunday.

Saints' RB Alvin Kamara scored an impressive 44.00 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 2 win in Dallas. Kamara ran for 115 yards and caught two passes for 65 yards with four touchdowns.

Sep 15 9:30pm CT

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had himself a day on Sunday in the 44-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran rushed 20 times for 115 yards and three touchdowns, adding two catches for 65 yards and an additional touchdown through the air. It was a vintage Kamara performance, as the 29-year-old has looked reignited in Klint Kubiak's offense. In the second quarter, he showcased his explosiveness on a 57-yard touchdown reception to go up 21-6. Despite the matchup being tough on paper, Kamara still finished as the RB1 on the day. He should be in all lineups next week against Philadelphia.

Dynasty | Saints running back Alvin Kamara had 115 rushing yards, two catches, 65 receiving yards, and four total touchdowns in the Saints upset loss at Dallas. Dynasty Analysis: The Saints have now scored 91 points in two games and Kamara's five touchdowns so far this season are just one behind his season total of six last year. To say this is a good development is a total understatement as it looks like Derek Carr is in total control of this offense and the Saints are poised for a serious bounce-back. While it's just a two game sample size, Kamara is looking like his old self and is a perfect target for a contending dynasty team as a productive, yet aging running back.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. He also caught two passes for 65 yards and one touchdown during the game.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had a strong Week 1, taking all of the high-quality touches out of the Saints' backfield. Kamara faces a much tougher matchup than the running back-friendly Carolina defense this week as New Orleans travels to Dallas on Sunday. Kamara should see a healthy enough volume to be placed in starting lineups, but the Cowboys' defense is a tough matchup for all positions. They surrendered just 54 rushing yards to running backs a week ago. The matchup knocks Kamara into RB2 range for this week.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara looked good in Sunday's decisive win over the Panthers. The veteran ran the ball 15 times, accumulating 83 yards and a touchdown. He also got involved on the receiving end, catching all five targets for 27 yards. Kamara and the Saints had contract discussions over the last few months. However, a deal didn't get done, meaning further talks will likely wait until after the 2024-25 campaign. Despite not getting a new deal, Kamara remains focused on his play. "I'm not worried about it," said Kamara when asked about the unsuccessful negotiations. "I'm here to play. I'm gonna play. I'm gonna perform." It appears the 29-year-old is more focused than ever, which is great news for fantasy managers. Keep him starting in all formats when the Saints meet the Cowboys in Week 2.
