Outlook Alvin Kamara

Alvin Kamara at NYG: Flex Viability with Backfield Opportunities

Kamara enters this matchup with a clean bill of health after working through recent back and knee ailments. With Travis Etienne sidelined on injured reserve, Kamara continues to share backfield duties with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson while operating as the Saints' primary pass-catching back.

Our weekly projection tabs Kamara for 11.3 fantasy points, forecasting around 8 to 9 rushing attempts and 3 to 4 receptions. While his rushing efficiency has dipped to 3.1 yards per carry this year, his reliable involvement through the air keeps him in the conversation as a viable Flex starter.
