Alvin Kamara News
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball eight times for five rushing yards, adding four catches on six targets for 25 receiving yards in a 26-7 loss to the Panthers. The Panthers defense completely stifled Kamara, who had nowhere to run despite leading the backfield in touches once again. While his down performance likely cost many fantasy managers their weekly matchups, it was a positive sign to see him lead the team in targets after he had a somewhat muted effort in the passing game in Week 1. Kamara's workload and talent still warrant easy RB1 consideration moving forward, even in a tough Week 3 matchup with the Patriots.
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is primed for a big game against the Panthers in Week 2. Kamara didn't have the most eye-popping numbers in Week 1- though he was undoubtedly the centerpiece of the Saints offense, handling 24 touches including 20 carries, his third-highest total in 68 career games, totaling 91 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. The All-Pro runner draws a matchup with a Panthers defense that surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs last year, including the most receptions and second-most targets. Kamara turned 22 touches into 148 scrimmage yards against the Panthers last year. Even if Carolina is sporting an improved defensive unit, Kamara's talent and workload make him a threat to lead the position in fantasy scoring every week.
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara finished with 20 rushes for 83 yards and three receptions for eight yards and a score on four targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. Kamara played a bigger role in the offense as expected with Michael Thomas (ankle) out for the beginning of the season. His generally lower numbers can be attributed to the fact that the Saints were playing with big leads for most of the contest. It's expected that Kamara will see high volume each week and that keeps him in the RB1 tier each week going forward. Up next is a matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

The New Orleans Saints will look a lot different in 2021, with quarterback Drew Brees retired and Jameis Winston expected to start under center. One thing should remain the same, though, which is that running back Alvin Kamara will play an important...
