Saints RB Alvin Kamara played a season-low 12 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, a game he entered questionable after a back issue limited his practice time during the week. Kamara finished with just 3 carries for 12 yards and 2 catches for minus-6 on 2 targets. CJ Donaldson led the New Orleans backfield at 19 snaps, carrying four times for 13 yards and catching his only target for 7. Kendre Miller posted a 10-30-1 rushing line -- scoring the team's lone offensive TD -- while running just one pass route.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable. Between the back issue and a matchup with Minnesota’s second-ranked RB defense, Kamara is a shaky fantasy start today.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) is expected to play against the Vikings today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Kamara is listed as questionable after getting in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We didn't hear any concern about his status for this one, but the back just adds a little more risk on top of the matchup vs. Minnesota’s second-ranked RB defense.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, which should have him on track to play. But the back adds risk, on top of the matchup against Minnesota’s second-ranked RB defense.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Vikings this weekend, but we'll see how Kamara is listed on Friday's final injury report.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) did not practice on Wednesday. He played 28 snaps just two days ago, so this could just be early-week rest for the veteran. We'll update Kamara's status again tomorrow. His absence vs. the Vikings this weekend would leave New Orleans' backfield to Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson.

Kamara posts his highest scoring week since 2024 in the Saints blowout loss to the Falcons on Monday Night Football. He handled a team-high 7 rush attempts for 23 yards and 2 TDs while catching five of 7 targets for another 35 yards. The 10th-year RB accumulated 22.8 PPR points leading to an RB1 finish in Week 4.

The Saints are placing RB Travis Etienne on IR with his hamstring injury, HC Kellen Moore said Thursday. Etienne is out for at least the next 4 games. That extends to New Orleans' Week 8 bye, so Week 9 is the earliest we'll see Etienne again.

Saints HC Kellen Moore confirmed that RB Travis Etienne will miss time with his hamstring injury. Exactly how much time remains unclear. It's worth noting that New Orleans has a Week 8 bye, so Etienne could miss 4 games, take the bye week, and return for Week 9. We'll see if he lands on IR later this week.

The Saints upset the Ravens in Week 2, but the RB split makes Travis Etienne a fantasy concern going forward. Alvin Kamara returned to the lineup after missing Week 1, and Kendre Miller was inactive. That didn’t seem to help Etienne, who had 8 rushes for 25 yards. Kamara had 9 carries for 15 yards and was most active in the passing game, catching 5 of 6 targets for 7 yards, while Etienne caught both his targets for 6 yards. It appears Etienne is set to split time no matter which other RBs are active.

Saints RB Kendre Miller is inactive for today's game vs. the Ravens. He matched RB Travis Etienne with 9 carries last week but gets the boot today with RB Alvin Kamara back. We'll see how big a role Kamara plays in his 2026 debut, but Miller's absence makes Etienne a slightly better fantasy bet.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll make his 2026 debut vs. the Ravens on Sunday. Kamara isn’t a viable fantasy starter but figures to steal some passing-down work from RB Travis Etienne.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. HC Kellen Moore said afterward that Kamara is expected to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. Kamara shouldn't be in fantasy lineups, but his return adds another threat to RB Travis Etienne, who was already in a committee in Week 1.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. RBs Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson are active behind RB Travis Etienne, who should handle the majority of the backfield work.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Lions today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a slight surprise after Kamara was a full-go in Friday's practice, but he's still not even 4 weeks removed from his MCL sprain. Kamara's absence should mean more passing-down snaps for RB Travis Etienne, who should see plenty of volume today.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is "ready to go" for this weekend's opener vs. the Lions, HC Kellen Moore said Friday. Kamara is listed as questionable but was a full participant in Friday's practice. He shouldn't be in Week 1 fantasy lineups, but his availability does put a small dent in RB Travis Etienne's projection.
