Saints Beat: RB Alvin Kamara ran Adrian Peterson out of town

Oct 10, 2017

Clearly the Saints decided that they didn’t have much use for RB Adrian Peterson since they preferred the more versatile duo of veteran Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara and wanted to get both of them on the field as much as possible.

Sean Payton hinted recently that the Saints might not have signed Peterson if they had known they were going to draft Kamara in the third round -- or, at least, that the vision for Peterson wouldn’t have been the same.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, it's overstating things, but Kamara's bust-out game in Week 4 in London certainly helped things along. Ingram and Kamara will see more snaps as a result of Peterson leaving, but keep in mind Peterson wasn't getting a lot of time anyway.

CB Jakorian Bennett was placed on the IR, out for at least the next 4 games.

Nate Hobbs and Zamir White out tomorrow against the Chiefs, Alexander Mattison questionable.

Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader is out.

Fantasy Impact:

The Raiders backfield is a mess, and it's going to be difficult to fire up Mattison, even if he does play. Consider him, or whichever eventual starter, a fringe RB3/4.
