A quick glance of the Saints roster immediately reveals that Alvin Kamara is the best fantasy option on the team. The 30-year-old is entering his ninth season at the running back position, but he remains a productive player. He finished 2024 with three games of more than 100 yards rushing -- the first time he's done that since 2021 -- and from Week 4 till the end of the season, he had at least four receptions in every game.
And therein lies Kamara's true value in fantasy, especially in PPR leagues -- production through the passing game. For his career, Kamara is only 51 receptions away from reaching third on the all-time list for receptions by a running back -- a total he failed to reach only once in eight years. To what degree the below-average offense around him limits his productivity remains to be seen, but fantasy managers can always count on Kamara putting up numbers as a receiving threat. And with the prospect of the team relying on inexperience at the QB position, we should expect a boat load of dump-offs to Kamara, which raises his floor. He's currently being drafted as a RB2. If you select him, keep your fingers crossed that the struggles he's sure to find from the players around him doesn't derail his productivity.

 Devin Neal, Vele ruled Out for Week 16
Alvin Kamara missed practice Wednesday

FFToday's Take: The Saints will be down starters this week against the Jets. With Alvin Kamara missing practicing on Wednesday, it's looking like Audric Estime and Evan Hull will handle the running back duties for the Saints in Week 16. Estime played ahead of Hull last week but it's still unclear how the workload will be divided. Estime is the priority pickup at the moment.
