New Orleans saints RB Alvin Kamara (hand, hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 9.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Kamara can take part in practice later in the week. He will see a significant workload if he plays and is a must-start option in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip/hand) was listed as a DNP in practice on Wednesday. Kamara is the No. 1 running back in fantasy and his absence from practice is a huge concern for fantasy managers. Kamara came out of Week 5's tilt with the Kansas City Chiefs banged up and it appears to have carried over into this week. Kamara has rushed for 388 yards and a whopping five touchdowns in 2024. He has added 23 receptions for 214 yards and a receiving touchdown as well. He has looked like the vintage Kamara that fantasy managers know and love. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation closely to see if Kamara's status for Week 6 is in jeopardy. The Saints offense as a whole is banged up with quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) expected to miss multiple weeks and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hip) joining Kamara on the sidelines on Wednesday.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara managed just 26 yards on 11 carries in Monday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He also had 40 receiving yards on his team-leading six receptions. It was an abysmal result for Kamara, who had three top-five finishes through the first four weeks of the season. The Chiefs seemed to sniff out every run play called by the Saints in the game and completely overpowered their offensive line all night, allowing Kamara to gain more than four yards on just one of his attempts. Kamara's production was also hampered by the fact that New Orleans controlled the ball for only 20 minutes of game time and ran a season-low 51 offensive plays. He will be back on the RB1 radar in Week 6 when the Saints host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for just 26 yards in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding six receptions for 40 yards on eight targets.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara was spinning his wheels in the run game, but he was useful on short routes out of the backfield. He could be relied upon a lot more in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the run game if QB Derek Carr (oblique) is forced to miss time.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) fully practiced Saturday, Oct. 5, and did not receive an injury tag for Week 5.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara might be given a breather more frequently this week, but he remains a rock-solid RB2 play, especially in PPR scoring formats.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints LB Willie Gay Jr. (hand), TE Taysom Hill (rib), OG Cesar Ruiz (knee), DE Payton Turner (knee), and OL Shane Lemieux (ankle) did not practice Saturday, Oct. 5, and were ruled out for Week 5. PK Blake Grupe (hip), LB Demario Davis (hamstring), RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs), TE Juwan Johnson (forearm), DT Bryan Bresee (ankle), RB Kendre Miller (hamstring), and WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ankle) fully practiced, and OT Taliese Fuaga (back, knee) was limited. They all carry no injury tag. OL Lucas Patrick (groin) did not practice, and LB Pete Werner (hamstring) was limited; both are questionable.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) practiced in full on Saturday and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Monday night's meeting with the Chiefs. Kamara is battling multiple ailments. However, the 29-year-old will likely continue to play through the pain barring any setbacks. He looked great in the Saints' first four contests, amassing 362 yards and five touchdowns off 80 carries, adding 17 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown. He's a must-start despite a challenging matchup with a Chiefs defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2024-25. His presence versus Kansas City will mean fewer snaps for Jamaal Williams, who would have been in line for more work.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 4.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara appears to have a good chance to play in the Week 5 game, but fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation over the next few days. He is a must-start option in all leagues if he is active.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Friday. Fellow RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) was upgraded to full-go in practice after being limited on Wednesday. Kamara was listed with the same injuries last week before suiting up and touching the ball 26 times for 119 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 29-year-old will most likely be cleared on Saturday to play on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kamara should continue to have high volume in the Saints' backfield, especially with Taysom Hill (ribs) looking doubtful to play after fracturing his ribs last weekend. Through four weeks in 2024, Kamara is the RB1 in fantasy in half-PPR scoring with 362 rushing yards and five touchdowns, adding 17 catches for 174 yards and another TD. He's a must-start against KC.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) remains on the injury report for Week 5 and put in a limited practice on Thursday. Kamara was also limited before the Week 4 contest against the Atlanta Falcons but ended up playing and saw 26 touches for 119 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown. Unless he's downgraded at practice in the next few days, Kamara should be just fine to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football to close out Week 5 action. The 29-year-old has exceeded expectations through the first four weeks in the Saints' new offense and has been the RB1 in half-PPR scoring with 80 carries for 362 yards and five touchdowns, adding 17 receptions for 174 yards and another score. As long as he doesn't have a setback with his injuries later this week, Kamara should remain locked into lineups as a must-start.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) was limited at practice on Thursday, Oct. 3.

Fantasy Spin: This is actually a better start to the week than Kamara had in Week 4 when he was a non-participant in the first session, so there's no concern for him yet. Kamara remains an elite RB1 entering Week 5.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints LB Willie Gay Jr. (hand), TE Taysom Hill (rib), OG Cesar Ruiz (knee), OG Shane Lemieux (ankle), DE Payton Turner (knee) and PK Blake Grupe (hip) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 3. Also, OT Taliese Fuaga (back), RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs), WR A.T. Perry (hamstring), TE Juwan Johnson (forearm), DT Bryan Bresee (ankle), RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) and LB Demario Davis (hamstring) were limited and WR Chris Olave (hamstring) and WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ankle) practiced in full.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) finished Sunday's loss to the Falcons by totaling 77 yards and a touchdown off 19 carries. He added seven catches for 42 yards. The veteran had an injury designation heading into the contest, so his status for Week 4 was a cause of concern for fantasy managers. Interestingly enough, Kamara revealed he played with broken ribs, although not getting on the field versus the Falcons "was never a consideration." He has been one of the top fantasy backs during the 2024-25 campaign so far. However, fantasy managers should consider adding Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill (where available) in case Kamara's condition takes a turn in the wrong direction ahead of the Week 5 matchup in Kansas City.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 19 times for 77 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons, while adding seven receptions for 42 yards on nine targets.

Fantasy Spin: The 29-year-old has totaled 110 or more total scrimmage yards in each of his first four games, while totaling six scores (five rushing, one receiving). He has returned to RB1 fantasy status in all leagues this season. He'll look to keep up the good work in Week 5 at Kansas City on Monday night.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is officially active for the Week 4 game.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara should continue to be a significant part of the Saints offense this week and is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is expected to play in Week 4's game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to a source.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara had been listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in two of the team's three practice sessions during the week on a limited basis. When healthy, he should be viewed as a must-start option in all fantasy formats.

From TheHuddle

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip, rib) "is planning to play" in Week 4 versus Atlanta. The 29-year-old didn't practice on Wednesday before logging limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. However, it appears he'll be good to go on Sunday. Kamara has had an excellent 2024-25 campaign thus far, totaling five touchdowns. As such, he's a must-start in all fantasy formats despite a challenging matchup on the horizon.

From RotoBaller

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.

From RotoBaller

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.

From TheHuddle

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.
