Alvin Kamara averaged career-low yards per carry (3.6) and yards per reception (5.6) in his career-worst 2025 campaign. Kamara accepted a roughly $5.5 million pay cut to stay with the Saints. It'd be pretty shocking if this committee reaches 50/50 status considering the money at hand.

Career-low efficiency in 2025 at age 31; Etienne's ADP slide offers value if Kamara gets pass-down work.

Kamara averaged career-low yards per carry (3.6) and yards per reception (5.6) in his career-worst 2025 campaign at age 31. However, his offensive environment was comparable to other inefficient rushers like Ashton Jeanty and Quinshon Judkins in terms of RB rush yards before contact per carry. He racked up 115 total yards in his only normal game with Tyler Shough under center. Reports signal Kamara could handle a majority of the pass-down work, which could hinder Travis Etienne's upside. Kamara accepted a roughly $5.5 million pay cut to stay with the Saints. Ian Hartitz rates him 7/10 on the Washed Scale and notes it would be shocking if the committee reaches 50/50 status given the money at hand. Hartitz is increasingly fine clicking Etienne at the Round 4-5 turn, suggesting Etienne's sliding ADP (back of Round 4 to Round 5) could look like a massive bargain in a potentially ascending Saints offense.
