Alvin Kamara News

Alvin Kamara Limited With Back Injury on Wednesday

Wednesday, October 21, 2:08 PM

New Orleans Saints veteran running back Alvin Kamara (back) was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Jeff Nowak. Kamara has been dealing with a back injury for the last three weeks. The 31-year-old actually tweaked his back in Sunday's win over the New York Giants, but he was able to return to the field and finish out the contest. He finished the 34-27 victory with seven carries for 34 yards while catching two of his four targets for 35 yards and his first receiving touchdown of the year. Kamara's workload was disappointing, considering that Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is still on Injured Reserve. If Kamara is active in Week 7 in Paris against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it could be his last time with an elevated workload with Etienne on the sidelines. The five-time Pro Bowler is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry through five games for 120 yards and two touchdowns on 35 carries. Kamara has added 15 receptions for 76 yards and another score. If Kamara plays this weekend, he'll be more of an RB3/flex play in PPR leagues while sharing backfield touches with Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson.

RJ Harvey News

RJ Harvey Back to Irrelevance in Week 5

Wednesday, October 14, 11:52 AM

After a notable performance in Week 4, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey was a non-factor during his team's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Harvey recorded 17 total touches, including 10 receptions, for 93 total yards during a loss to the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, but failed to follow that solid effort up with another productive performance against Los Angeles. He finished the win over the Chargers with just three carries for seven yards and without a reception on just a single target. Still, Harvey remains just two spots behind Broncos starting running back J.K. Dobbins in RotoBaller's weekly rankings as RB28. Harvey is projected to score eight fantasy points in a Week 6 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.
