Saints RB Alvin Kamara (concussion) said he expects to play Week 15

Dec 11, 2017

Alvin Kamara told NOLA.com that he expects to be back on the field for the New Orleans Saints' next game Sunday against the New York Jets.

The rookie running back is still in the concussion protocol, so he was not made available to the media on Monday. But when asked by NOLA.com if he will play this week, he replied "Yes."

Fantasy Impact:

It's not always a good idea to trust what a player says in terms of an injury, but the good news is Kamara had extra time to heal. Kamara is still in the concussion protocol, keep in mind, but this is good news for owners counting on him in Week 15.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
