Keenan Allen News
Friday, August 21, 8:10 AM
Indianapolis Colts' newly acquired wide receiver Keenan Allen received praise from head coach Shane Steichen, who called him the "most cerebral receiver" he's been around. "He sees the game like a quarterback: how to run routes, how to attack leverage, how he sees coverage, especially inside in the slot, outside, how corners play, how linebackers play them in the slot. That's built-up reps over the years, and he's seen so many different looks, and it's like clockwork for him in his brain." Allen signed a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Colts on Wednesday. With wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) injured and a gaping hole left after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Allen will have a significant role in this offense. Currently ranked WR60 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Allen offers starting upside if Pierce misses time this season.

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.
