Fantasy Impact
The NFL has withheld on any level of punishment for the 2022 Las Vegas incident involving Kamara until it went through the legal system. The system is not yet done with the case and will continue through the district court with a date set for March 2. Kamara played the entire 2022-23 season, and any punishment for the event could be determined over the offseason.
Alvin Kamara tallied 74 rushing yards on 16 carries and caught his lone target for seven yards in a win over the Eagles Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara led the Saints’ rushing attack and eclipsed 70 rushing yards for the third straight game. The 27-year-old has found the end zone just one time since the end of October. The Saints will take on the Panthers in Week 18.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, RB Alvin Kamara was a full participant in practice Friday and is expected to play in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara missed the first two practices of the week before returning on Friday as a full participant. RB David Johnson will act as his backup. Kamara has not caught more than two passes in a few weeks but has consecutive games with 20 or more carries, keeping him firmly in fantasy lineups.
According to Luke Johnson of Times-Picayune, RB Alvin Kamara returned to practice on Friday after logging consecutive DNPs.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara may have a chance to play despite missing two practices depending on what level he practiced at. An official injury designation will come out later. If Kamara misses the game, RB David Johnson could be in line as the team's RB1.
Alvin Kamara (personal) missed practice for a second-straight day on Thursday due to a personal matter.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints have been vague about Kamara's status but have indicated that he'll be available on Sunday against the Eagles. Keep monitoring the situation if he's on your roster. If he ends up missing the game, David Johnson and Eno Benjamin will likely split snaps, along with some help from Taysom Hill.
