Kamara's one-year deal signals secondary role; Saints backfield is fantasy landmine.
Alvin KamaraRB
Alvin Kamara signed a one-year, $6–8.5 million deal with New Orleans, signaling a diminished role in the Saints backfield and marking the Saints backfield as a fantasy landmine. With Travis Etienne receiving a four-year, $52 million contract ($13 million per year), the pecking order suggests Etienne will be the lead back and Kamara the second back. Kamara may have slowed down slightly, and the Saints' poor run-blocking unit (23rd in run block win rate, 30th in yards before contact last season) compounds concerns about the backfield's fantasy viability.
