Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. New Orleans will again roll with Evan Hull as lead back for the finale. He checks in 26th in the Week 18 RB rankings.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. With RB Devin Neal on IR, New Orleans is again down to Audric Estime and Evan Hull as their top two RBs. But it was Taysom Hill who led the team with 12 carries last week, adding six targets and a passing score. Hill makes for an intriguing – albeit risky – Week 17 fantasy play.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. With RB Devin Neal on IR with his hamstring injury, New Orleans is down to RBs Audric Estime and Evan Hull. The team also signed RB Nyheim Hines to the practice squad on Wednesday. Despite the plus matchup, the uncertainty in workload split makes this is a backfield to avoid in Week 16 fantasy lineups.
The Saints placed RB Devin Neal on IR with the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 15, ending the rookie's season. Neal tallied 153 total yards in two games as New Orleans' lead back. He averaged just 3.6 yards per carry on the season, though, and ranked 56th in yards after contact per attempt and dead last among 58 qualifying RBs in Pro Football Focus' rushing grades. Neal will probably need to fight for a roster spot next summer. We'll see if RB Alvin Kamara makes it back this season. If not, New Orleans will roll with RBs Audric Estime and Evan Hull the rest of the way.
Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Jets, HC Kellen Moore said Wednesday. Don't be surprised if the rookie is done for the season with what seems like a relatively significant hamstring injury. RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) remained sidelined on Wednesday and looks likely to miss another game. That'd leave New Orleans' backfield to Audric Estime and Evan Hull vs. the Jets this weekend. The team also signed RB Nyheim Hines to the practice squad on Wednesday. This is a backfield to avoid in Week 16 fantasy lineups.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He’s dodged IR for now but doesn’t seem particularly close to a return. RB Devin Neal should continue to dominate backfield work this weekend and is a viable volume-based fantasy start.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. We're not expecting him back for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. RB Devin Neal has gotten workhorse usage with Kamara out the past two weeks, playing 77% of the offensive snaps and handling 33 carries and four targets. Neal sits 24th in the Week 15 RB rankings.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. RB Devin Neal played 81% of New Orleans’ offensive snaps last week, handling 14 carries and three targets. He’s a volume-based-if-unexciting Week 14 fantasy start.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy owners should not be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers. Rookie RB Devin Neal got workhorse usage with Kamara out last week and will be a serviceable-if-unexciting fantasy start if Kamara remains out this Sunday.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. He’s not expected to be placed on IR, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, so we should see Kamara back within the next few weeks. His absence this weekend leaves rookie Devin Neal as New Orleans’ likely lead back, although TE Taysom Hill and potentially RB Audric Estime will also be involved. Consider Neal just a RB3 or Flex play.
Alvin Kamara sprained his right MCL early in the Saints' Week 12 loss to Atlanta. After Kamar departed the game, Devin Neal played 57 of the team's final 66 snaps and was the only RB to receive a carry or target. Neal didn't find a lot of running room, rushing for just 18 yards on his 7 attempts, but he did catch 5-of-7 targets for 43 yards.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, according to New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill. The severity of the sprain will determine how long Kamara will be sidelined. "He could take a little time, but nothing that's super serious or threatening long term," Underhill writes. "Hard to know how long. Alvin and his team often beat timelines." We should learn more about Kamara's injury over the next day or two, but consider him more likely than not to miss Week 13's game against the Dolphins. Devin Neal will take over as the Saints' lead back if Kamara misses time. He's far from an exciting fantasy option but could provide RB3-level production. We also saw Taysom Hill tally eight carries in the second half of the Falcons game.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara suffered a knee injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Falcons and is officially questionable to return. His absence leaves Devin Neal as New Orleans' lead back. We'll update Kamara's status when we know more.
Update: Kamara has been ruled out.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but we’re not expecting the ankle to be a major factor today. Kamara has been playing through this issue for multiple weeks.
