From the episode

I did text Underhill about this. I said, what do you think that they're going to do in the absence of Travis Etienne? And he just responded, Alvin. So I think that Alvin will move into that lead back role.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Kamara moves to lead-back role with Etienne out; part of three-back rotation.

With Etienne sidelined, Kamara is expected to move into the lead-back role in a two-to-three running back rotation, per Saints reporter Underhill. Though Kamara was one of the worst running backs in the NFL last year, he is next up as the lead back. The Saints will likely keep Kendra Miller and Donaldson active alongside Kamara, making it not an exciting spot for fantasy purposes.
