Alvin Kamara at Risk of Losing Workhorse Role

Saturday, February 28, 5:07 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had his 2025 season cut short due to a knee sprain suffered during Week 12. Before his injury, Kamara was already performing below fantasy managers' expectations with just one touchdown and a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. Most notably, Kamara's targets per game dropped to an average of 3.5 compared to 6.7 and 6.4 targets in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The veteran running back also had a 19.1% missed tackle rate this season, his lowest since at least 2018. Kamara is still under contract for the 2026 season, and his cap hit is expected to rise, making him a prime candidate for restructuring. If he suits up as a Saint in 2026, Kamara profiles as a low-end RB2, buoyed mainly by name recognition, due to his drop in efficiency and decline in passing game involvement.

Chimere Dike Shows Promise as Receiver, Kick Returner in Rookie Campaign

Wednesday, February 25, 4:30 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike saw plenty of playing time as a rookie in 2025 after the Titans took him in the fourth round out of the University of Florida. The 24-year-old made the Pro Bowl as a special teams player -- he returned two punts for touchdowns and led the league with 17.3 yards per punt return. Dike wasn't in the top 50 receivers in terms of overall half-PPR points at the end of the year, but he also showed plenty of promise on offense by finishing with 48 receptions on 74 targets for 423 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games played. In dynasty/keeper leagues, Dike has plenty of potential, mainly as a big-play threat with his 4.34-second 40-yard dash speed. Long-term durability is a bit of a question mark, though, as he stands at a thin 6-foot-1, 196 pounds. His role on offense is a question mark as well, with the Titans expected to be looking to add around quarterback Cameron Ward.
