Alvin Kamara Fantasy

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara said his leg was 75 percent healthy last season, but that he's now back to 100 percent. Kamara was somewhat of a disappointment in 2019, and playing at less than 100 percent probably had something to do with it. He ran the ball 171 times for 797 yards and a career-low five rushing touchdowns. He only scored once through the air, too, but he's now caught exactly 81 passes in each of his three seasons in the NFL. With quarterback Drew Brees returning for one more year, Kamara could bounce back in a nice way, and his receiving chops make him a strong RB1 choice despite his underwhelming TD numbers last season.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara carried the ball seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught eight of nine targets for 34 yards in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He struggled in this one, capping off a disappointing season for both he and the Saints, though he did score for the third straight game. Despite frustrating his fantasy owners for much of 2019, Kamara still finished with 797 rushing yards on 171 totes along with five touchdowns and 81 catches for 533 yards with one score. Injuries, ineffectiveness, and fumbles played a part in making his season less-than-stellar. With Drew Brees only getting older, the Saints may gradually ease into a more run-heavy approach in 2020. Kamara is a prime bounce-back candidate for next year and should still be among the first players taken in all drafts.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara scored four times in the last two games to end the regular season, and he heads into a middling matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. Before Week 16, Kamara hadn't had a very impressive season, but he seems to be coming into his own when it matters most. The Vikings have allowed just eight rushing touchdowns to backs this season. However, they have allowed 79 receptions out of the backfield. Kamara will likely see plenty of chances in a game that should be close throughout, which makes him a solid DFS option due to his work in the passing game.
