    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Gets into end zone against Giants

    Alvin Kamara carried the ball seven times for 34 yards and caught two of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.The veteran RB left the game in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, but he was cleared to return and connected with Tyler Shough for a 31-yard score in the third quarter. Kamara's seven touches were well behind Kendre Miller's 22, but his 69 scrimmage yards were just one shy of Miller's 70 for the team lead. The duo will split backfield duties for at least one more game in Week 7 against the Steelers, before Travis Etienne (hamstring) will be eligible to come off IR after a Week 8 bye.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Back in Sunday's game

    Alvin Kamara (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's contest at the Giants.Kamara missed some time in the first half after attempting to haul in a pass from QB Tyler Shough down the left sideline, but his return indicates he'll attempt to gut through whatever is affecting him. Having said that, the New Orleans Saints are continuing to employ a timeshare between Kamara, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson out of the backfield, so Kamara's current outlook isn't exactly fantasy friendly.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Heads to medical tent Sunday

    Alvin Kamara (undisclosed) walked slowly to the medical tent during Sunday's game at the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.While attempting to catch a somewhat errant pass down the left sideline, Kamara landed awkwardly and appeared to be shaken up. The current health concern isn't known, but he has been dealing with a back injury the last two weeks, so it may be an aggravation of that issue. Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson are the New Orleans Saints' current healthy and available running backs.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Active in Week 6

    Alvin Kamara (back) is active for Sunday's game at the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.Kamara has dealt with a back injury the past two weeks, and three limited listings during Week 6 prep led to a questionable designation for Sunday. On Sunday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Kamara is expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Since Travis Etienne (hamstring) landed on IR after Week 3, Kamara has earned 17 touches, while fellow RBs Kendre Miller (18) and CJ Donaldon (10) also have had regular roles, making it difficult to trust any of the trio for fantasy purposes.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Slated to play Sunday

    Alvin Kamara (back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at the Giants, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.For a second week in a row, Kamara's practice reps were impacted by a back issue, resulting in limited listings on all three Week 6 injury reports and a questionable designation for Sunday's matchup. His status will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's active, he'll resume his timeshare out of the New Orleans Saints backfield with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson, which has amounted to 17 touches for Kamara over the last two games.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Another limited session

    Alvin Kamara (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt this week due to a lingering back injury, Kamara has one more chance to get back to full Friday, at which point the New Orleans Saints may tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants. Even if he's able to suit up this weekend, though, he's been in a tight timeshare with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson the last two games, turning his 17 touches into 64 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Remains limited by back issue

    Alvin Kamara (back) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.For a second straight week, Kamara is dealing with a back injury, but he was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Vikings, earning a 27 percent snap share and turning five touches into six yards from scrimmage. As for the rest of the backfield, Kendre Miller had 31 percent and 10 touches, while CJ Donaldson paced the group with 42 percent and logged five touches. None of the trio has stood out since Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on IR after Week 3, and Kamara's continued health concerns make him even less reliable for fantasy purposes on top of the current timeshare at the position.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Limited to five touches Sunday

    Alvin Kamara rushed three times for 12 yards and brought in both targets for minus-6 yards in the New Orleans Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.Kamara dealt with a back issue during the practice week, and it's possible that helped lead to Kendre Miller outpacing the veteran back by seven carries. Kamara's minimal opportunity unsurprisingly led to a forgettable fantasy day overall, although the entire Saints offense was underwhelming against the vaunted Vikings defense. Given Sunday's division of labor, Kamara could continue losing some touches to Miller while Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) remains on injured reserve for a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Active Sunday

    Alvin Kamara (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings.Kamara opened Week 5 prep as a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a back injury, but he was able to log back-to-back limited practices to end the week and enter the weekend listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network then reported Sunday morning that Kamara was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Kamara thus should serve as the New Orleans Saints' lead runner this weekend, which so far has amounted to 36 touches for 121 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs in three appearances.
