Alvin Kamara

Last year, Kamara's season was limited to 14 games due to a groin injury. Before he rode off into the sunset for the 2024 season, Kamara was the RB5 in fantasy points per game. It was a similar story to his last few seasons. He was a volume king with disappointing tackle-breaking metrics who remained an elite option in the passing game. Kamara was seventh in snap share and sixth in opportunity share. He ranked 32nd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 36th in yards after contact per attempt while also sitting top-two among running backs in receiving yards per game, target per route run rate, and yards per route run rate (per Fantasy Points Data). The Saints added Devin Neal to the backfield rotation this offseason to compete with Kendre Miller and Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the RB2 job. None of those players are huge threats to cut into Kamara's workload. He should be a volume option again in 2025 with an RB2 floor and RB1 ceiling.

Saints coach Kellen Moore said Alvin Kamara will be a “big part” of the team’s offense.

Fantasy Impact

Per Moore, Kamara remains a “premiere player” who will continue to play a big role in the Saints offense. It will be worth monitoring to see if New Orleans addresses the running back position in the NFL Draft to see what role Kamara may exactly possess.
