RB5 in 2024; actively getting first-team reps; 2025 decline partly due to Rattler at QB.
Ian Hartitz expects Alvin Kamara to play a significant role for the Saints in 2026 despite a down 2025 season and contract restructure. Kamara is actively receiving first-team reps alongside Travis Etienne in training camp, signaling the team's commitment to keeping him. His best career seasons came in a 50/50 split with Mark Ingram, and the contract restructure reinforces that role expectation. Kamara was RB5 in PPR in 2024 and is only one year removed from that production. He missed late-season opportunities against weak defenses (Jets, Panthers, Titans) while playing with Spencer Rattler at quarterback, suggesting his 2025 decline was partly circumstantial rather than a permanent decline. Hartitz views Kamara as a much better player historically and expects him to receive significant pass-down work in the Saints' offense.
