In a 14-team full PPR league, the source took a late-round shot on Kamara, noting 'I don't really expect them to play to start the year, but I also don't care.' The source speculated on potential upside: 'Does Kamar come back and have a passing down role?' suggesting a lottery-ticket approach centered on uncertainty about early-season availability and potential role upon return.NegativeInjuryAug 29, 2026
Alvin Kamara is currently dealing with an injury, which has created a temporary backup role for Kendre Miller. The source expects Kamara to return at some point to split touches with Travis Etienne.PositiveValueAug 26, 2026
Kamara enters the top-5 RB list at ADP 13-14, a range typically reserved for handcuffs. The rationale: the Saints restructured his contract and are paying him significant money, signaling a legitimate role when healthy. That role will be receiving-focused (5-7 carries plus receptions rather than 17 carries), giving him baseline production that exceeds typical handcuff value. If an injury occurs to the lead back, the team still trusts Kamara to lead the offense, providing upside. However, he suffered an MCL sprain and will miss approximately two months, likely extending into the season. His ADP has shifted from round 13-14 to round 17 as a result. The source still views him as a solid pick in round 17 for underdog leagues, as he can absorb the early-season hit and return to a receiving-game role with potential red-zone involvement.NegativeInjuryAug 24, 2026
