Alvin Kamara News
Wednesday, August 19, 5:50 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) left Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys, and he is now expected to be sidelined for at least a month after being diagnosed with a sprained MCL, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The five-time Pro Bowler dealt with a similar injury last season that kept him out of the final six games, and despite the fact that the Saints signed running back Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $48 million contract in free agency, Kamara was expected to have a significant role in Kellen Moore's up-tempo offense. New Orleans opens the regular season against the Detroit Lions on September 13, and Kamara's status is now in doubt not only for that game but, at 31 years old, concerns about any lingering health issues are amplified. Amid what had been reported as a strong training camp, Kamara had risen to RotoBaller's RB53, but Wednesday's injury update will likely see him fall off draft boards entirely.

Bijan Robinson News
Saturday, August 15, 8:05 AM
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson put together an excellent season in 2025, recording a league-high 2,298 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns on 366 touches across 17 games. Three years into his NFL career, Robinson has yet to miss a single game. He also boosted his receiving production in 2025, recording 79 catches for 820 yards and four touchdowns on 103 targets. Entering 2026, Robinson should once again be the focal point of the Atlanta offense. The Falcons have some question marks at the quarterback position, which could limit the production ceiling of their offense. Still, Robinson has shown he can overcome a subpar offensive environment in the past. Redraft managers should view him as an elite running back option in 2026.
