Alvin Kamara's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) has been ruled out by the team for Week 16's game at Green Bay. Kamara will miss the matchup with the Packers this week and look to rebound to be available for Week 17 against Las Vegas. Kendre Miller will be the lead back for the Saints in Week 16. Kamara has 228 rushes for 950 rushing yards and six rushing TDs this season. He also has 68 catches for 543 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns this year. He has been one of the most productive fantasy running backs this season so his absence is a crushing blow for the fantasy playoffs. Miller has a decent matchup in Week 16 and looks like a must-add waiver-wire option for fantasy managers.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Friday. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said on Thursday that Kamara is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, and with the Saints barely clinging to faint playoff hopes, there's a chance we don't see Kamara again this season over the final three weeks. Fantasy managers still battling for a championship will unfortunately be without the 29-year-old back this weekend. Second-year RB Kendre Miller has had a tough time staying healthy in his year plus in the NFL, but he's healthy now and should serve as New Orleans' primary backfield option at Lambeau Field on Monday night, giving him at least RB3/flex value in fantasy lineups this week. Veteran Jamaal Williams will serve as his backup.

The New Orleans Saints are still evaluating injured running back Alvin Kamara (groin), but sources are saying it's a possible season-ending injury with only three games left to play with little chance at advancing to the postseason. The Saints are already saying that it's unlikely Kamara will play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers after he injured his groin in last week's one-point loss to the Washington Commanders. More proof that the 29-year-old could be done for the year is the fact that the Saints signed Clyde Edwards-Helaire for more depth earlier this week. If you haven't already done so, Kamara's fantasy managers need to immediately add Kendre Miller if he's available. Although the Saints are down to rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler as well, the volume Miller sees alone as New Orleans' top back the rest of the way should at least put him in the flex conversation in fantasy leagues.

NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill thinks there's a good chance New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) doesn't play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Kamara suffered an adductor injury in the Week 15 loss to the Washington Commanders, and all signs are pointing to him being held out this week. The Saints just signed Clyde Edwards-Helaire as RB depth earlier this week. Kamara has gone for tests on his injured groin, but interim head coach Darren Rizzi has declined to say if it's a minor or major injury. Underhill says himself to run out and grab Kendre Miller off the waiver wire if he's available in your league if you have Kamara rostered. We'll have a better idea of Kamara's status after the Saints begin practicing this week, but there's at least a good chance he'll miss Week 16 and potentially more, depending on how serious his groin injury is.

According to interim head coach Darren Rizzi, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) is dealing with a "groin abductor situation" that he sustained in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. Saints beat writer Ross Jackson reported the news. Per Jackson, Rizzi declined to note the severity of the injury and expects more tests for the 29-year-old. It's an unfortunate situation for Kamara and fantasy managers, though he hasn't been ruled out yet, which is at least a silver lining. With more testing on the way, keeping tabs on Kamara ahead of the team's Week 16 meeting with the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football is recommended. Backfield mate Kendre Miller figures to step in for the veteran if he's required to miss more time, with Jamaal Williams working as a change-of-pace option.
