NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Atlanta Falcons

We project Alvin Kamara to score 17.0 fantasy points in Week 4, ranking him as the RB6. He's coming off of a 29-touch effort where he gained 127 yards from scrimmage. Kamara didn't find the end zone, but he can't score four touchdowns every week.

He's locked in as an RB1 until further notice.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Philadelphia Eagles

Alvin Kamara had a decent day last weekend. He managed to find the endzone four times in Week 2. Kamara had a vintage performance, cracking 100 rushing yards and tallying 65 receiving yards to boot.

He's our RB4 so he's in your lineup no matter what this weekend.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Dallas Cowboys

Alvin Kamara comes into the week as our RB16. In a 47-10 victory last week, he was given 20 opportunities. He turned them into 110 all-purpose yards and added a rushing score for good measure.

Kamara has, historically, been basically game-script-proof. Fall behind? Get tons of targets in a comeback attempt. Get ahead? Handle the rush load. He's a definite start this week and should continue barring injuries.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Carolina Panthers

Alvin Kamara as a home favorite has always been a solid play. He might not be the same Kamara of old, but we still have him ranked as RB16 this week. In his career, as a home favorite, Kamara averages over 20 PPR points.

That might be a stretch for this weekend if he doesn't find the end zone, but this is a solid matchup in a game they should win easily. Kamara is in play in all formats.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

The upside case for Alvin Kamara is if he can be Alvin Kamara again. In 13 games last year, Kamara earned 180 carries and 86 targets. If you extrapolate that out to a 17 games season, you're looking at nearly 350 opportunities and 1,700 all-purpose yards. With those numbers, he could approach 300 PPR points which would vault him up into the Top 3 at the position.

Fantasy Downside

The downside, of course, is that the odds of Kamara actually playing 17 games are rather low. He's played 15 or fewer games in every season since his rookie campaign. That doesn't mean he can't be valuable, but managers are playing roulette with when those missed games will come.

2024 Bottom Line

Kamara is an excellent option at his current price tag. A lot of the risk with him missing time is built-in with Kamara's current ADP. If he manages to stay healthy, we could be looking at a league winning year for Kamara.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Not what Alvin Kamara fantasy owners wanted to see last week, as he totaled just 35 yards on 14 touches. If you're still alive with Kamara, you get a matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 17. Kamara's first game back from suspension was against the Bucs in Week 4. He had 11 rushes for 51 yards and 13 catches for 33 yards. The Saints really need Kamara here as the Saints are in a must-win situation at 7-8. Kamara is still an RB1 for the week especially with all the passing-game work he continues to get.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Los Angeles Rams

Another day, another 100-yard performance for Alvin Kamara. He went over 100 total yards for the 6th time this season and added another five receptions, giving him 68 for the season. The Saints need Kamara is what almost amounts to a playoff game Thursday as the 7-7 Saints visit the 7-7 Rams. That should amount to another strong fantasy day and help push his owners into championship weekend.
