NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Colts

Even with the offensive explosion from the Saints, Alvin Kamara was kept very quiet against the 49ers. It was his first game under 50 total yards and he still hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3. Latavius Murray has shown he deserves to be more involved in the offense. That being said, the upside in the passing game is still there and Kamara is still ranked in the top ten in PPR scoring. If you've gotten this far with Kamara, you might as well roll with him to the finish.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs 49ers

It's fair to say Kamara was a minor disappointment this fantasy season. He hasn't rushed for 100 yards in a game yet this season. Being involved in the passing game has definitely helped, but he only hauled in four passes last week and again was held out of the end zone. And now he gets the 49ers, who are allowing the fewest points to opposing running backs in fantasy. The receptions will be there, but the team's plan for Kamara is clear now. Rush him about 12 times and throw the ball to him about eight times. He's still a good play because of the targets, but you're really hoping he finally breaks his touchdown drought.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Falcons

The Saints heavily favored the pass against the Panthers, as Kamara saw 11 carries and was actually outgained on the ground by Latavius Murray. But as always, Kamara’s fantasy day was saved by nine catches. While that’s all well and good, Kamara still hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 3. He’s well due for a touchdown, and while he may not be an elite RB1, his catches keep him as a sure-fire RB2/low-end RB1.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Panthers

Kamara got right back on his usual routine against the Buccaneers, carrying 13 times and seeing 10 targets against the Buccaneers. Fortunately, he is catching all these passes as he still has just two touchdowns this season, both coming all the way back in Week 3, That said, Carolina sports one of the worst rushing defenses in the league so if there is a week for Kamara to finally find the end zone, this is the week.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Buccaneers
Kamara returned to the lineup last week against the Falcons and was slid right back in as a featured target in the passing game with ten targets and eight receptions for 50 yards. His fantasy owners needed those in PPR formats as he rushed just four times for 24 yards. Despite those numbers, he still saw nearly 80 percent of the offensive snaps. His usage shouldn't be an issue going forward and he should get back to his usual 13-17 carries in the run game.

Be warned, though, as the Buccaneers are allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. However, Kamara did have 104 total yards and six receptions in the Week 5 meeting.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Falcons

Kamara missed the two games before the Saints' bye but all signs are pointing toward him returning in Week 10 and he gets a good matchup against the Falcons to get himself back in shape. Don't be surprised, however, if Latavius Murray eats a bit more into Kamara's work this week with Kamara returning from injury and Murray performing very well in the two games Kamara missed. Nonetheless, Kamara should move right back into his role in the passing game and should be back as a top option this week.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Bears

Kamara is coming off one of his worst performances of the season against the Jaguars, as he totaled just 66 yards and seeing a season-low 11 carries. He did have seven catches, salvaging his day in PPR scoring. As it turns out, Kamara was dealing with a "high ankle-type issue" as reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Kamara is not expected to practice this week and is questionable at best for Sunday against the Bears, so keep a close eye on the Saints' injury report. Despite the low yards, Kamara is constantly a threat in the passing game, recording seven or more catches in four of his six games this season. That alone makes him still worthy as a top option in fantasy.
