JANUARY 17 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM

Second in catches among RBs Kamara (ankle) finished the 2023 season with 694 yards and five touchdowns on 180 rushing attempts, as well as 75 catches on 86 targets for 466 yards and one touchdown.

Impact Despite sitting out the first three games of the season due to a suspension and missing the finale with an ankle injury, Kamara finished just one catch shy of Breece Hall's league-leading total among running backs. Kamara's 6.2 yards per catch were a career low, though, and he posted the second-lowest YPC mark of his seven-year career at 3.9, suggesting that the 28-year-old running back is starting to slow down. There's a potential out in his contract this offseason, and the Saints will probably try to rework Kamara's deal rather than take on a nearly $19 million cap hit in 2024. Any change in situation would likely negatively impact Kamara's fantasy value, as his volume's more likely to go down than up, even with the ankle injury expected to be healed well before the 2024 campaign.

Alvin Kamara Not Expected to Play Against Falcons The Saints will be without their best offensive weapon for the regular season finale, as Alvin Kamara is not expected to play in Week 18.

JANUARY 7 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Trending toward Sunday absence Kamara (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Kamara didn't practice this past week, with previous reports suggesting that the running back was viewed as a game-time decision for the contest. Confirmation of Kamara's Week 18 status will arrive once the Saints' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but if he is indeed unavailable, Jamaal Williams would be a candidate to serve as New Orleans' lead back, while Taysom Hill, Kendre Miller (ankle/illness) and practice-squad call-up Jordan Mims would also be in the mix for added snaps versus Atlanta.

Impact "Alvin is one of the guys so valuable to our team, we'll take it all the way up to game time," Allen said. The running back wasn't able to return to last week's win over Tampa Bay after spraining in his ankle in the second quarter, and he didn't practice Thursday or Friday. It doesn't look great right now, but Kamara will at least be given a shot heading into the weekend, shaping up as a potential game-time call ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jamaal Williams will fill in as the lead back if Kamara isn't healthy enough to give it a go even with a playoff spot on the line.

BREAKING: Alvin Kamara Status For Saints-Bucs Game, 12/31 Reporting the game status of New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game in Week 17.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM

Expected to play Sunday Kamara (illness) is slated to play in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Kamara sat out Friday's practice due to an illness, clouding his status for Week 17. Following Schefter's report, though, Kamara won't be included on the Saints' inactive list that'll be posted about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Thus, there's a good chance he'll handle his typical workload, which has equated to 89 touches for 418 yards from scrimmage and three rushing TDs in five games since the team's Week 11 bye.
