Alvin Kamara Week 6 Outlook - Patriots at Saints

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Oct 10th 2025, 9:35pm EDT

Alvin Kamara's snap rate has dropped in each of the last four weeks, from 85.1% to 53.2% last week. Last week, he had a season-low 26.7% rushing share while retaining his passing game role with a 59.4% route share and 18.8% target share. His passing game usage has somewhat stabilized with a 17.6-18.8% target share in three of his last four games. Kendre Miller is factoring into this backfield more weekly as Kamara's early down complement. Last week, Kamara finished with 12 touches and 55 total yards. Kamara's rushing efficiency has been ok but not amazing with a 4.1% explosive run rate, a 16% missed tackle rate, and 1.81 yards after contact per attempt. Kamara will run into brick walls on early downs, but he could get it done through the air this week. New England has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game, the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, and the second-fewest yards before contact per attempt. The Patriots have, however, given up the 11th-highest yards per reception and the 12th-most receiving yards to running backs. Kamara picked up an ankle injury this week, per Kellen Moore. He practiced on a limited basis all week and has been listed as questionable.
