ALVIN KAMARA NEWS

Just 31 yards on 13 touches Kamara was held in check Sunday, recording just 18 yards on 11 carries while catching two of six targets for 13 yards in a 9-0 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact The Saints were missing several key players all over its offensive lineup, so Tampa Bay's defense was keyed in on Kamara in this low-scoring matchup. The star tailback looked to be operating at full capacity in his impressive return from a knee injury last week (145 total yards and a touchdown), so this rough outing can't be attributed to poor health. For what its worth, fellow back Mark Ingram (nine carries for 10 yards) didn't fare any better against the Bucs' dominant rush defense, and no New Orleans player averaged more than 3.0 yards per carry. Kamara's fantasy managers who are moving on in the fantasy playoffs will hope for a bounce-back game against the Dolphins next Monday.

Carves up Jets in return Kamara (knee) rushed 27 times for 120 yards and a touchdown while catching four of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-9 win over the Jets.

Impact The Saints had no qualms about feeding Kamara in his first action since Week 9, as he racked up 94 yards on 16 first-half touches, including a 16-yard touchdown run to take a 10-3 lead 3:42 before halftime. Kamara's workload remained steady in the second half, but his bid for a second touchdown from the 1-yard line was stuffed in the fourth quarter, and Taysom Hill took it in himself on the next play. While finding running room will be tougher in Week 15 against the stingy Tampa Bay front, Kamara's elite receiving ability out of the backfield coupled with his rushing volume will keep him a must-start fantasy option if healthy.

To take on usual role Sunday Coach Sean Payton indicated Kamara should be able to handle his typical workload in Sunday's road game against the Jets, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In his return from a four-game absence this weekend, Kamara may be operating out of the backfield without Mark Ingram and Ty Montgomery due to the pair testing positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. If the preceding comes to pass, Kamara's primary competition for snaps will be special teamer Dwayne Washington, second-year pro Tony Jones and fullback Adam Prentice. Kamara acted as the Saints' lead runner Weeks 1 through 9, when he averaged 22.3 touches for 105 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring seven TDs in eight contests.
