Saints RB played only 26% of snaps and 13% of long-down-and-distance work after getting banged up in Monday night football. He briefly exited the game in the third quarter for evaluation in the blue tent before returning, but the injury may linger and cause more problems.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026

Secured starting RB role for the Saints but efficiency is extremely poor: 18 rushes for fewer than 60 rushing yards and 7 targets for fewer than 12 receiving yards. The Saints are going to be super pass happy, making Kamara a very low-end flex play. The ground game built around Kamara and Kendra Miller is not expected to get it done.NegativeRoleNo date
With Travis Etienne out this week and likely next week, Alvin Kamara is expected to be involved for the Saints, though Brock Powers expresses uncertainty about his role. Chimera is projected to get between 8-12 rushes and 2-5 catches with first crack at goal line work, though Kendre has also received goal line opportunities. Powers suggests Kamara can be started if you have him, but notes the backfield situation is 'a huge mess.'NegativeRoleNo date
Alvin Kamara is expected to transition into a natural third-down back role as the Saints' backfield usage shifts toward Kendre Miller for early-down work. Kamara is considered a better fantasy asset than Miller due to his established role, but he is noted as having little efficiency left.
