I have him projected for 11.3 carries and a 14% target share for the 14 games he's active for, both of which would be his lowest marks since his rookie season at least. I've been expecting a 2-4 game suspension for Kamara since the early offseason, and it ended up landing at three, so this news didn't really change my expectations for him. TAR: 17, REC: 11, YD: 96, TD: 1 RUSH - CAR: 96, YD: 482, TD: 5īiggest Question What does Kamara's role look like? QB Derek Carr, DL Nathan Shepherd, DL Khalen Saunders, TE Foster Moreau, RB Jamaal Williams That feels like a pretty good price, and it might even go lower with the suspension locked in. Kamara's chances of ever being a top-five RB again seem pretty slim, but he could still be well worth starting, and he's being drafted as RB31 right now. But, if the addition of Carr indicates a willingness to put the ball in the air more often than last season, that certainly could benefit Kamara, even if he never gets back to being a 20% target share guy. There are plenty of questions about Kamara's short and long-term role with the Saints, especially after his three-game suspension that comes after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor breach of peace charge for his part in a fight in 2022. But it was still a healthy enough role, dragged down by the fact that only two teams passed less often than the Saints last season. It was frustrating at the time, and I think indicated that the team might not be happy with Kamara despite the fact that he has remained a productive pass-catcher. And, while that's a significant decrease over the 20.8% target share he had in his first six games (while missing two with injuries), it was still the fifth-highest mark in the league from Weeks 9 through 18. That was Kamara's target share from Week 9 on. WR: Chris Olave WR24, Rashid Shaheed WR73 RB: Alvin Kamara RB16, Latavius Murray* RB32 ![]() They'll have to do that without Alvin Kamara until Week 4, however, as he was suspended for the first three games of the season. That direction might be toward 9-8, but in the NFC South, that might be enough to get them back to the playoffs for the first time without Brees since 2000. The Saints have been pretty rudderless since Drew Brees' retirement, but they're hoping Derek Carr can at least provide a direction. ![]()
