Alvin Kamara reinjured his knee last week, but he was able to finish the game. Kamara popped up on the injury report with a back issue this week. He didn't practice on Wednesday, but he had limited sessions the rest of the week. He has been listed as questionable. Kamara clearly isn't 100%, but I still expect him to lead the backfield in touches this week. Kamara has only a 4.3% explosive run rate, 1.64 yards after contact per attempt, and an 8% missed tackle rate. There's nothing good to see here. Last week, he scored two touchdowns, which powered his RB9 finish for the week as he had only 12 touches for 58 total yards. Minnesota has allowed the third-lowest rushing success rate, the tenth-fewest rushing yards over expectation, and has the third-highest stuff rate. Kamara is a touchdown-dependent flex this week with a horrible matchup.
