All Flock Fantasy insights about Alvin Kamara
NegativeRoleOct 26, 2026
Alvin Kamara will retain receiving usage in the Jacksonville Jaguars backfield even after Travis Etienne returns. Michael Penn has been starting Kamara in recent weeks but expects Etienne to take over as the primary back, leaving Kamara in a secondary role with pass-catching opportunities.NegativeProjectionOct 23, 2026
Flock Fantasy is starting Alvin Kamara this week but regrets the decision, believing he should have pivoted to Bam Knight or Kendra Miller earlier in the week when available on waivers. While Kamara had two good games as the starting running back, the source is skeptical this production can be banked on going forward, noting he was blinded by Kamara's recent touchdown.NegativeRoleOct 22, 2026
Described as 'literally worth nothing' with an 'absolutely tiny' role; despite looking good in one game, he is a 'highly questionable start' and not a reliable replacement for injured running backs like Josh Jacobs.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026
Alvin Kamara's fantasy ceiling is severely capped and the source would cut him in favor of Emitt Johnson; Kamara is on bye next week and the source does not see a clear path for him to help a 6-0 team. Additionally, the source expresses concern about Kamara's role and usage, noting that his ceiling is limited even with no Jeremiah Love in the backfield, as Bam Knight's usage last week makes the decision tougher than expected. The source also describes Kamara filling in at running back as 'disgusting,' indicating dissatisfaction with him as a backup option.PositiveProjectionOct 21, 2026
Alvin Kamara remains a starter despite low snap shares (26-27%) due to consistent production as a top-12 running back, though his receiving upside is being challenged by Kendre Miller.NegativeProjectionOct 21, 2026
The source needs to move Alvin Kamara down in rankings because Travis Etienne will be back in 2 weeks, leaving only one more usable week of Kamara production (this week), after which the Saints have their bye in week eight. This severely limits Kamara's remaining fantasy value.NegativeRoleOct 19, 2026
Alvin Kamara scored a touchdown in Week 7 against the Giants, but the speaker is concerned about the Saints backfield being a running back by committee with Kendre Miller getting significant carries (20 carries); the speaker may look for another option next week and expects significant changes when Travis Etienne and Jordan Tyson return in Week 9.PositiveInjuryOct 18, 2026
Alvin Kamara is expected to play in week six despite back injuries and being limited in practice all week. Cam Scataboo expresses relief at Kamara's availability, noting he would have had to play Kayn Black otherwise. Kamara is confirmed healthy and ready to play, and should be started over backup options like Kendra Miller. He has a safer receiving role compared to Cordarrelle Patterson, though Patterson is more likely to score a touchdown this week.NegativeValueOct 18, 2026
Alvin Kamara is identified as an asset to potentially sell for a third rounder in a dynasty rebuild situation; the source suggests offloading Kamara if possible to free up assets for a rebuild.NegativeInjuryOct 17, 2026
Alvin Kamara is listed as questionable with a lingering back injury that has persisted for several weeks, causing concern for fantasy managers despite his participation in practice.NegativeInjuryOct 16, 2026
Kamara remains questionable heading into Week 6 with uncertain playing status, creating lineup decision difficulty for fantasy managers. The speaker has him in their own lineup despite being in the J tier, indicating desperation on their fantasy team.PositiveProjectionOct 16, 2026
Flock Fantasy recommends starting Alvin Kamara as the primary running back play this week, though notes willingness to pivot to Denzel Boston if Saquon Barkley is officially ruled out.NegativeProjectionOct 15, 2026
Michael Penn leans toward starting Alvin Kamara in flex but notes the offense should be much better this week; however, usage was horrific last week, creating uncertainty about his production. Penn will monitor projections as the week goes on. Kamara was the avoid last week due to a tough matchup against the Vikings, though Penn suggests Harvey might be the avoid this week instead against the Seattle Seahawks.NegativeUsageOct 14, 2026
Alvin Kamara is a discouraged start after playing only 30% of snaps last week. The source cites his recent back injury and the Saints' offensive struggles as reasons to avoid him, despite a potentially easier matchup against the Giants.NegativeProjectionOct 13, 2026
Alvin Kamara is not performing as a reliable fantasy starter, with the host noting he is 'not cutting it' recently.NegativeUsageOct 12, 2026
Alvin Kamara is failing to provide RB2 production and is currently dealing with a back injury, making him difficult to trust in a three-man committee.NegativeMatchupOct 11, 2026
Alvin Kamara is expected to play in week five but faces a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The source personally plans to start him but recommends others avoid him due to the difficult opponent. Kamara has a decent role as a pass catcher and goal-line back, though he probably won't have a ton of goal-line opportunities against Minnesota. In flex decisions, Kamara is preferred over Rashad White and Mike Washington.NegativeMatchupOct 11, 2026
Braille Allen notes Kamara is available as a short-term fill-in until Jordan Mason returns, but faces a horrific matchup this week; however, he still has access to touches and is not completely dead and buried.NegativeMatchupOct 9, 2026

Alvin Kamara reported back soreness during practice but his knee was checked after the game and was confirmed to be okay. He missed practice, requiring monitoring. However, Kamara is actively producing in New Orleans and is recommended as a super easy waiver wire pickup to replace Austin Ekeler on a struggling team. Jaylen Warren suggests cutting Cousins, Herbert, or Ekeler to pick up Kamara.NegativeUsageOct 7, 2026
Kamara remains a lineup lock, though his outlook is tempered by a difficult matchup against the Vikings and a low 30% snap share last week, which was partially due to an in-game injury evaluation.PositiveUsageOct 6, 2026
Michael Penn plans to continue starting Alvin Kamara despite concerns about his efficiency, citing his secure red zone role and seven targets out of the backfield as key drivers for his RB2 value.NegativeProjectionOct 5, 2026
Speaker's fantasy team projection depends on Alvin Kamara's performance this week; currently projected to score under 100 points and fall to 1-3 unless Kamara, Bryce Young, and Jamo perform well.PositiveRoleOct 4, 2026
Expected to carry the load as the lead back in a running back by committee setup; source recommends playing Kamara over Kenan (out), Malik Washington, and Quinton Johnson pretty easily. Described as a super valuable setup to be excited about.PositiveMatchupOct 4, 2026
Kamara is recommended as a flex start and is favored pretty easily over Jaylen Wright at running back, with context that the Saints project to score a ridiculous amount of points in their game environment.PositiveValueOct 3, 2026
Alvin Kamara is both a trade target and potential trade chip; Flock Fantasy suggests acquiring Kamara from desperate owners and trading him away as part of a package for wide receiver upgrades, indicating he has value in both directions.PositiveRoleOct 2, 2026
Part of a three-man running back committee in New Orleans; primary value in PPR formats due to expected reception volume. Not an exciting play but the best option among the committee backs for PPR scoring. The source identifies Kamara as 'the most valuable running back in this backfield here for the New Orleans Saints,' indicating he is the lead back and primary fantasy asset in the Saints' running back rotation, though the source acknowledges there is 'a real chance that the more valuable player is going to indeed be uh Miller.' The source identifies Kamara as the most likely primary running back to own in the New Orleans Saints backfield, especially with Etienne on injured reserve.PositiveRoleOct 1, 2026
Alvin Kamara is recommended over Roma Dunce and Chris Godwin in flex spots. Kamara is positioned as the flex backup if Mike Evans is unavailable; he is the secondary option in the flex slot.NegativeValueSep 30, 2026
Alvin Kamara is overvalued relative to Jeremiah Love. The source, who owns both Kamara and Christian Watson on their own fantasy team, would trade both in a heartbeat for Jeremiah Love, calling it a smash trade and no-brainer that must be made immediately.PositiveProjectionSep 29, 2026
Rest-of-season rank should be bumped up given Travis Etienne's hamstring injury; benefits from increased workload and opportunity in the Saints backfield. Bree Hall makes the case that Kamara's value improves with Etienne sidelined.NegativeRoleSep 28, 2026
With Travis Etienne injured and the waiver wire bone dry, Stafford is starting Alvin Kamara in Week 5 despite limited other options. Kamara becomes the replacement option for Etienne-dependent managers, though the backfield will likely split between Kamara and Miller.NegativeUsageSep 27, 2026
Getting a considerable amount of looks in the Saints offense, which limits Travis ETN's workload and upside. Source strongly prefers DJ Moore over Kamar in a weekly matchup decision.NegativeValueSep 27, 2026
Source recommends cutting Gadston and picking up Alvin Kamara as a waiver-wire swap to add a fourth running back body to the roster, addressing a need created by Jonah Coleman's IR placement. However, while Kamara may have better straight-up projections than RJ Harvey, source does not see the upside with him and prefers Harvey in start/sit decision. Source emphatically states there is no way to play Kamara over DJ Moore in a weekly flex decision.PositiveUsageSep 24, 2026
The team is consistently throwing the ball to Alvin Kamara, which suggests a higher ceiling for his fantasy production.NegativeUsageSep 23, 2026
Alvin Kamara's absence in a previous game provided a specific context for analyzing Travis Etienne's snap count.NegativeRoleSep 23, 2026

Alvin Kamara is a premium handcuff with receiving involvement, but he lacks the 'juice' of his past seasons. He is not a recommended start unless Travis Etienne is injured, in which case he would be a top-24 running back in full PPR formats.PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026
Alvin Kamara has defied expectations of being 'cooked' by returning in week two with a significant workload, outperforming initial projections.PositiveValueSep 18, 2026

Alvin Kamara was part of the RB room in the bully QB strategy example draft (Josh Allen round 2, Dak Prescott round 6); the source notes this RB group was insufficient, indicating that early QB investment compromised RB depth. Listed as part of a running back group (Devon Achane, Aaron Jones, Keaton Mitchell, Jamaal Williams, Alvin Kamara, Emmitt Johnson) used in a draft strategy example to illustrate mid-round running back depth.NegativeProjectionApr 28, 2026
The analyst expects Alvin Kamara to be completely irrelevant in 2026 and would be shocked if he makes any difference in the year.PositiveProjectionNo date
Alvin Kamara is ranked at 55 and projects to get cheap four or five receptions in full PPR format, which is valuable; the New Orleans Saints project to score a ton of points. Reports are mixed on whether Kamara will get the vast majority of work or if it will be a three-man running back by committee, but expectations are Kamara becomes the lead guy in a committee setup.NegativeProjectionNo date
Mr. James Cook is starting Alvin Kamara this week despite having no desire to do so, citing poor running back depth on his roster. Kamara will get used as a receiver (six targets out of backfield two weeks ago); Tyler Shuck is dropping back to pass more than any other NFL quarterback; matchup against Falcons is strong with Saints projecting as borderline top-five offense. In full PPR, expect running back by committee with Miller involved; realistic stat line projection is six carries for 28 rushing yards, six receptions for 34 receiving yards (12 points) plus touchdown upside. Cook doesn't think you should be excited about Kamara but is starting him due to lack of depth.PositiveUsageNo date

Kamara is expected to depart the Saints in 2025, either via retirement or trade, clearing the backfield for Travis Etienne. The Saints signed Etienne to a deal worth $28 million guaranteed (with $22 million in dead cap through the first two years), signaling a two-year plan centered on Etienne as the primary back. While Kamara has publicly stated he doesn't want to be traded, JJ Zachariason suggests he may be taking a team-friendly stance given the financial commitment to Etienne and the Saints' projected 3.2 PPG offensive improvement (fourth-biggest leap in the league), which would benefit Etienne's workload.NegativeBustNo date
Listed among 2024 running backs to avoid based on bad offense projections. Jeremiah Love notes that most running backs on the avoid list (including Kamara) were busts, reinforcing the strategy of fading RBs on bottom-five projected offenses.PositiveValueNo date
