Alvin Kamara was a full participant on Day 1 and had some 1st team reps (so did Travis Etienne) Unknown what the exact split or roles were yet but will dig to find out today
Kellen Moore was asked in depth about the RB Room / Alvin Kamara’s role and he basically gave some nothing burger answers TLDR was that they’re going to let training camp define roles and opportunities in the RB room
• Malik Nabers not expected to open camp on PUP • Alvin Kamara gets reconstructed deal • Alec Pierce not practicing @adamlevitan and @evansilva cover all the ranking updates from training camp news ⬇️
Alvin Kamara and Mickey Loomis discussed his role (and contract) before coming back/agreeing to terms Think that’s important - would he have come back if there wasn’t a plan for him to be involved?
Saints GM Mickey Loomis on decision to bring back RB Alvin Kamara: "That was an ongoing discussion... what's the contract gonna look like, what's the role look like? Alvin's always said he wants to play for the Saints his entire career... I appreciate that." (via @nofnetwork)
This is just a gentle reminder that OL play matters more for fantasy rushing production than you might think There have only been four top-10 fantasy finishes over the last two years from RBs who saw fewer than 2.0 YBCO/Att Three of those four finishes were from RBs who had immense receiving upside: - 2025 Christian McCaffrey (13.9 receiving FPG) - 2024 Alvin Kamara (9.6 receiving FPG) - 2025 Chase Brown (8.4 receiving FPG) Metrics per @FantasyPtsData
Saquan Barkley had 400 touches under Kellen Moore (Jalen Hurts even had 150 rushes) and people still be like "I'm worried 37 year old Alvin Kamara could catch some passes"
No guarantees on what Alvin Kamara's role looks like, but the way this ESPN article is written makes it seem like the Saints will have a complementary role for him Kamara talks as if he has assurances it will be complementary Something to watch and stay tuned in on
Nine “true bell-cows” remain heading into 2026: 1. CMC 2. Jonathan Taylor 3. Bijan Robinson 4. Ashton Jeanty 5. De’Von Achane 6. Saquon Barkley 7. Derrick Henry 8. James Cook 9. Jahmyr Gibbs Who joins them this season?
It looks like the ADP Rankings are exactly the same in this contests vs. the other ones Here are the most mispriced (undervalued) players IMO: **[Wide Receivers] ** Rashee Rice (WR11) Zay Flowers (WR14) Ladd McConkey (WR17) Makai Lemon (WR35) Chris Godwin (WR41) Michael Pittman Jr. (WR47) Wan'Dale Robinson (WR50) Stefon Diggs (WR57) **[Running Backs]** Chase Brown (RB10) Breece Hall (RB14) Cam Skattebo (RB19) Bhayshul Tuten (RB25) Jaylen Warren (RB28) Kenny Gainwell (RB37) Rachaad White (RB38...
Target shares for various RBs in the season before / the season of playing under current Saints HC Kellen Moore: Austin Ekeler: 17.3% -> 13.7% Saquon Barkley: 13.8% -> 9.6% Alvin Kamara: 19.6% -> 10.1% @FantasyPtsData
To be clear, definitely not pounding the table for Kamara. Think he’s extremely limited at this point and probably has pretty poor injury-contingent upside. Would imagine he splits with an Estime, Neal or Kendre, in an offense that may be trending up but is still on the weaker side of the league. More so just think he limits the upside of Etienne as a pass-catcher. And fwiw, the advanced stuff for these two has been pretty similar over the past couple of years, both not great.
