Since his arrival in the NFL in 2017, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been one of the most productive players in the NFL.
Though he has never rushed for over 1,000 yards in a single season, Kamara has racked up 6,779 yards and 60 rushing touchdowns prior to this season. He’s also been a very effective pass-catcher as a running back, having 573 receptions for 4,762 yards and 25 receiving touchdowns in his career.
Like most running backs, Kamara has taken a dip in his production in recent years, and most of that can be attributed to him aging as a running back.
What Happened to Alvin Kamara?
Alvin Kamara popped up on the New Orleans Saints’ injury report on Wednesday. Kamara was limited in yesterday’s practice with an ankle injury. Running back Devin Neal was also on the injury report with an ankle injury of his own. The Saints’ backfield woes continues as running back Kendre Miller is already out for the season as he suffered a season-ending injury in Week 7.

Is Alvin Kamara Playing Week 9?
As of Thursday afternoon, Alvin Kamara has not been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. The fact that he was able to practice on Wednesday is a good sign, and his status in today’s practice should give more clarity on the severity of his ankle injury.
Alvin Kamara Fantasy Outlook
Alvin Kamara has been the New Orleans Saints‘ leading rusher this season with 100 carries for 363 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. He also has 27 receptions for 147 yards.
Kamara is still getting a plentiful amount of touches, but he isn’t creating those big, explosive plays he did made in recent years. He’s averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and 5.4 yards per catch on the season.
Still, the Saints, who are 1-7, can’t afford to be down any guys if they want a chance to compete against the Rams this Sunday.
