Outlook Alvin Kamara

Alvin Kamara at New York Giants — Expected to play through back issue in a tight road matchup

Kamara is listed as questionable with a back injury, but reports confirm he is expected to play against the Giants. With Travis Etienne on injured reserve, Kamara anchors the backfield workload ahead of Kendre Miller, giving him a dependable opportunity share despite dealing with limited practice reps.

Our weekly projection forecasts roughly 11 fantasy points, driven by about 8 to 9 carries and 3 to 4 receptions out of the backfield. While his fantasy start rate has dropped to 27% amidst health concerns, his pass-catching floor keeps him viable as a solid Flex option once officially active.
