New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. It's been a rough stretch of games for Kamara, who has just 12 carries over his last two games and is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry since Week 5. His usage and productivity in the receiving game have dwindled, too. However, he has a chance to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should give him one more chance to produce as a low-end RB2 this week.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is officially listed as questionable (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Panthers. In Week 9 against the Rams, he continued his season-long struggles, recording just four carries for 14 yards and one reception for four yards. Kamara is in the midst of the worst season of his career, posting lows in nearly every major category: 3.6 yards per carry, 41.9 rushing yards per game, 16.7 receiving yards per game, and 3.9 yards per touch. He also hasn't found the end zone since Week 1. Facing a Panthers defense that allows 110.8 rushing yards and 1.1 rushing touchdowns per game, Kamara is trending in the wrong direction and no longer offers a reliable fantasy floor. He's a low-end RB2, slipping closer to RB3 territory for the divisional matchup.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially listed as questionable headed into Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara was a limited participant in every day of practice this week, but he followed a similar pattern last week and was able to play in Week 9 against the Rams. The veteran back has been managing this ankle injury for five weeks now, but hasn't missed any games and should be ready to go in Week 10. However, the lingering ankle issue has likely contributed to his poor production this season, averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry and scoring only one touchdown. Some of that can be attributed to New Orleans' poor offensive environment, but it's been a disappointing year regardless for the 30-year-old. Kamara profiles as an RB3/flex option for Week 10 against the Panthers.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice for the second straight day this week with a lingering ankle injury, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara continues to battle through an ankle injury that has landed him on the team's injury report for the fifth straight week. However, the 30-year-old veteran hasn't missed any games, so he should be able to play this Sunday against the division-rival Carolina Panthers on the road. The five-time Pro Bowler is showing his age in 2025, and his ankle issue probably hasn't helped, as he's averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. Things aren't looking up for Kamara, either, in an offense that is now being run by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. Kamara has scored just one touchdown on the year and has become a low-upside RB3/flex for fantasy managers.
Nov 6, 2025 5:17 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 30-year-old has been disappointing this season, amassing just 363 rushing yards, 147 receiving yards, and one touchdown through eight games. Even with Kendre Miller (knee) sidelined, Kamara hasn't been able to carve out a major role within New Orleans' offense. He'll likely continue to play around 60 percent of the snaps with roughly a dozen touches against the Rams. His pass-catching skills give him low-end RB2 appeal in PPR leagues, but for the most part, he should be deployed as an RB3/flex.
Nov 2, 2025 3:06 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's road clash with the Los Angeles Rams, is expected to play, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Kamara has been on the team's injury report since Week 6 while he battles an ankle ailment, logging a full practice session just once in that time frame. Despite the issue, he's yet to miss an appearance and is projected to be out there again when New Orleans takes on the hosting Rams. Kamara and the Saints' offense have had a rough go all season, though it's worth mentioning he's eclipsed 30 rushing yards just once since Week 5. If he plays, fantasy managers can expect the University of Tennessee alum to be out there for his usual allotment of snaps, with backfield mate Devin Neal spelling him on occasion. He's a fringey RB2/3 with the extra variable of a new starting quarterback in rookie Tyler Shough.
Nov 2, 2025 12:27 AM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is officially listed as questionable to play against the Rams, currently nursing an ankle issue. Head coach Kellen Moore said he is trending in the right direction, so the 30-year-old is likely to suit up. Kamara has struggled all year, averaging a career-low 4.0 yards per touch and scoring only once, back in Week 1 against the Cardinals. He never built much chemistry with Spencer Rattler in the passing game, but with Tyler Shough under center, there is hope Kamara gets more involved as a receiver. The Saints are averaging just 93.6 rushing yards per game, while the Rams allow 105.9, so Kamara retains low-end RB2/Flex appeal if healthy.
Nov 1, 2025 10:57 AM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, but is trending positively to play, according to Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports. Kamara was a limited participant in practice every day this week, but should be expected to suit up for Week 9. The 30-year-old running back got banged up in the Saints' Week 8 blowout loss against the Bucs and posted his lowest snap share of the season at 52.1%. Kamara has also struggled of late, recording 35 carries for 107 yards while adding 14 catches (16 targets) for 98 yards and no touchdowns over his last four games. He'll look to bounce back in Week 9 with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough making his first career start. It's a tough matchup for Kamara, however, as the Rams have allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing running backs.
Oct 31, 2025 4:27 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Kamara played a season-low 51 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's unclear if that was because the game was a blowout or because Kamara was battling this ankle issue. It doesn't sound like something that is going to cause Kamara to sit out in Week 9. However, fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday for more updates. Devin Neal (ankle) would be asked to take over as the lead back if Kamara sits out against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
Oct 29, 2025 9:41 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for just 28 yards and added one yard on three receptions in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. Kamara's struggles continue, as he's posting career-low marks in yards per carry, yards per touch, yards per target, and receiving yards per game. Head coach Kellen Moore remains committed to feeding him the ball, but Kamara has been held to 31 or fewer rushing yards in three straight games, and hasn't found the end zone since Week 1. He was limited in practice throughout the week with an ankle injury but is good to go in the Week 8 matchup against the Buccaneers. Kamara ranks as an RB2, and is in desperate need of a get-right game.
Oct 24, 2025 7:58 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited on Thursday for the second straight day this week due to an ankle injury. Kamara has been dealing with an ankle injury for three weeks, but it hasn't kept him from playing in any games, and he should be fine to suit up for a divisional clash this Sunday versus the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers should be comforted by the fact that the 30-year-old veteran played a season-high 84% of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears after backup Kendre Miller (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL. The Bucs have been a top-10 matchup for opposing RBs this year in terms of half-PPR points allowed per week, but Kamara is also averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry in seven games for the 1-6 Saints. With six teams on bye in Week 8, Kamara is still more of a low-end RB2 for fantasy purposes with minimal upside.
Oct 23, 2025 6:41 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) remains on the team's injury report heading into a Week 8 clash with the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Kamara was a DNP last Wednesday with his ankle injury, but he ended up returning to practice and was cleared from the final injury report. The 30-year-old five-time Pro Bowler ended up handling 11 carries for only 28 yards while catching all three of his targets for just one yard in the Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears. However, Kamara did play a season-high 84% of the offensive snaps due to Kendre Miller (knee) suffering a torn ACL. Rookie Devin Neal will spell Kamara going forward. Kamara is still the Saints' lead back, but he's averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry and is showing signs of his age in his ninth NFL season.
Oct 22, 2025 6:28 PM EST
New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for just one yard in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. This marks his fifth straight game under 100 total yards, and he has not found the end zone since Week 1. Looking ahead to Week 8, Kamara faces a Buccaneers defense that just allowed Jahmyr Gibbs to explode for 218 total yards and two touchdowns on Monday night. Over 14 career games against Tampa Bay, Kamara has totalled 626 rushing yards, 565 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. Even with a low 3.6 yards per carry, his volume and history against the Buccaneers keep him in the low-end RB2 conversation for Week 8.
Oct 22, 2025 1:11 AM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) will not carry an injury designation into his team's Week 7 matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. The veteran back will reportedly sit out the team's Wednesday practices for the foreseeable future as he manages an ankle injury, but it does not appear the ailment will keep him from playing. Kamara has recorded 436 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 105 total touches through six games so far this season. He's averaging career lows in both yards per touch (4.2) and yards per reception (5.5). Kamara profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2/high-end flex option in Week 7 against Chicago.
Oct 17, 2025 3:50 PM EST
practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Terrell previously reported that the team plans to hold Kamara out of Wednesday practices for the time being as part of a maintenance plan for his ankle. The 30-year-old should be on track to play in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. Kamara has recorded 436 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 105 total touches through six games this season. He has not topped 80 scrimmage yards in a game since Week 2 and has not scored a touchdown since Week 1. Kamara profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2/high-end flex option in Week 7, even in a favorable matchup on paper against the Chicago Bears.
Oct 16, 2025 4:23 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is basically on a maintenance schedule for his ankle, which is why he did not take part in practice on Wednesday, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara missing practice or being limited on Wednesdays won't necessarily be the case for the rest of the year, but it's the plan for right now. The 30-year-old veteran was limited in practice all of last week but still played in the Week 6 loss to the New England Patriots. Kamara played 62% of the offensive snaps and had 15 touches for 76 scrimmage yards. As long as he's able to get back to a limited practice on Thursday or Friday, Kamara should be fine to suit up this Sunday on the road in Chicago against the Bears. Although he's still the lead back in the Big Easy, Kamara has descended to RB2/3 status in fantasy. It doesn't help that Taysom Hill is now back to potentially steal goal-line touches as a RB.
Oct 15, 2025 7:38 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara turned 10 carries into just 31 yards, but had a season-best receiving game with five receptions for 45 yards in the loss to the Patriots. He continues to struggle establishing the run behind a Saints offensive line still developing chemistry, though he salvaged some value through the passing game. He has still only found the end zone once this season, which came back in Week 1 against the Cardinals. His 3.8 yards per carry is his second-lowest of his career, and his 72.6 total yards per game is also a career low. He remains a volume-based RB2 and will face a Bears defense in Week 7 that has allowed five rushing touchdowns through five games.
Oct 15, 2025 12:00 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The veteran running back has remained a productive ball carrier and pass catcher in his age-30 season, but we've started to see the Saints opt for somewhat of a split between him and Kendre Miller lately. Kamara's eight receptions over the last two games keep him in the high-end RB3/flex range for fantasy football, but he's no longer a top-tier workhorse. That is especially true against a Patriots defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.
Oct 12, 2025 12:01 PM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been a possible mid-season trade target given the direction the organization is going right now. The Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly in the market for a running back with multiple backs going down with injuries. On paper, Kamara makes sense for the Chargers, but the 30-year-old doesn't want to leave New Orleans. Kamara said he wants to stay with the Saints and retire with the organization. It remains to be seen if something will change over the next few weeks, but for now Kamara is resistant to any trades.
Oct 12, 2025 8:56 AM EST
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the New England Patriots. Despite that, Kamara is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest. He has been limited in practice this week due to an ankle injury he suffered last weekend. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline him, but it could limit him in terms of snaps. We could see Kendre Miller or even Devin Neal see more snaps if Kamara isn't 100 percent healthy. The 30-year-old hasn't done much on the field to help fantasy managers. He's falling into RB3 or flex territory, assuming he suits up for Week 6. Fantasy managers should check back for official word ahead of kickoff.
