Alvin Kamara Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The New Orleans Saints have named Spencer Rattler as the team’s Week 1 starting QB, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Saints RB Kendre Miller out-snapped RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire 11 to four with the first-team offense in the team's preseason finale. RBs Cam Akers and Devin Neal received no first-team reps. Miller appears locked in as the No. 2 RB heading into Week 1.

Saints RB Devin Neal will miss "a couple weeks" with a hamstring injury, per HC Kellen Moore. Neal, a Round 6 rookie, was in a battle for the No. 2 RB job behind Alvin Kamara. His absence raises the late-round appeal of Kendre Miller, who'll still have to beat out Clyde Edwards-Helaire and others for the handcuff role.

Saints TE Juwan Johnson described new HC Kellen Moore's system as a "fast-break offense." Johnson added that he's "really excited" about the scheme.

Saints beat writer Ross Jackson calls Saints RB Kendre Miller a "great fit" for new HC Kellen Moore’s offense.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that might cost him the upcoming season.

According to multiple reports, the Saints are now set to officially hire Kellen Moore as their next HC. The move has been expected since before the Super Bowl. At 36, Moore will become the league's youngest HC, edging Seattle's Mike Macdonald (37 until late June). Moore, of course, spent 2024 as Eagles OC after one season as Chargers OC and four as Cowboys OC.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He comes up 50 yards short of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) is also out, leaving the backfield to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams. Edwards-Helaire is the best bet for touches but would be a desperation fantasy play. The Saints are 14-point underdogs.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He’ll come up 50 yards short of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) has been ruled out, so we’re looking at Clyde Edwards-Helaire as New Orleans’ likely lead back in the finale, with RBs Jordan Mims and Jamaal Williams behind him. Try to avoid this backfield in fantasy lineups. The Saints are 16.5-point underdogs with a 15-point implied total.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He needs 50 more rushing yards for his first 1,000-yard season and is pushing to get back for this weekend's finale vs. the Buccaneers. We'll track his status over the next few days. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) was also out on Wednesday.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He didn’t practice all week, but interim HC Darren Rizzi believes Kamara has a chance to make it back for Week 18. He needs 50 rushing yards for his first 1,000-yard season. New Orleans will again roll with RBs Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams this weekend. Miller was a big bust last week but should get better game script against the Raiders on Sunday. He’s at least in play as a RB3 or Flex.
