By converting $10.465 million of Kamara's contract, New Orleans inches ever closer to being under the cap heading into next week's free agency frenzy. The Pro Bowler had a fragmented season overall, but should remain an elite fantasy option in 2023.

According to the report, a victim was hospitalized on Saturday evening after allegedly being battered at a nearby nightclub. An investigation identified Kamara as the suspect. He was located and taken into custody on Sunday, then subsequently transported to the Clark County Detention Center. Kamara was in Las Vegas this week for the league's Pro Bowl festivities. He played for the NFC team on Sunday, hauling in four of six targets for 23 yards. The five-time Pro Bowler and former Offensive Rookie of the Year is a perennial RB1 option in fantasy leagues. He totaled 1,337 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns through 13 games in 2021.

Saints head coach Sean Payton is unsure of his 2022 plans or if he will return to coach the Saints for the 2022 season.

If Payton returns, he will need to find a suitable quarterback to attempt to take pressure off of Saints running back Alvin Kamara and return the once dynamic multidimensional offense to prominence.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 13 times for 52 yards and caught 2-of-4 targets for seven yards in Monday night's Week 16 loss to the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Kamara struggled just like the rest of the Saints' offense. The onus falls on Ian Book. Still, Kamara should have likely received additional touches, considering he is the best player on the offense. Kamara will look to get back on track in Week 17 against Carolina.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 19 yards and caught 2-of-6 targets for 16 yards in Sunday's Week 15 win over the Buccaneers.
