Alvin Kamara News
Saturday, October 3, 5:33 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed nine times for 36 yards and added one reception for five yards in Week 3's loss to the Raiders. Most of his carries came after starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. exited with a hamstring injury, but Kamara was unable to turn the increased workload into much production. Though he has played just two games this season, his current mark of 2.8 yards per attempt is by far the lowest of his career. Kamara figures to serve as the team's top running back option against the Falcons on Monday night with Etienne Jr. on IR, but he faces a difficult matchup against a defense allowing a league-best 47.7 rushing yards per game. The difficult matchup puts Kamara at RB27 in RotoBaller's running back rankings for Week 4.

Kimani Vidal News
Saturday, October 3, 7:09 PM
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal can be dropped to waivers in all redraft fantasy football leagues. The 25-year-old has taken a backseat on offense this year, and he didn't even log his first touch of the season until last week. His snap share did jump to a season-high 25% mark last week, but he's still buried behind Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell on the depth chart. Given that the coaching staff has placed a significant amount of trust in those running backs, any path to weekly fantasy relevance for Vidal would likely require both Mitchell and Hampton to miss time. Barring anything unexpected, it looks like he will lack fantasy relevance for the rest of the 2026 season. Vidal can be left on waivers in all redraft leagues.
