Alvin Kamara 2019 Outlook
"Without any exaggeration," wrote Scott Barrett of Pro Football Focus, "Kamara has the chance to become one of the best running backs of all-time. And that's true whether you're discussing real football or fantasy football. ..." Among all running backs with at least 300 carries in their first two NFL seasons, Kamara ranks 10th-best in yards per carry (5.13). From a fantasy perspective, Kamara ranks as one of the most productive running backs of all-time. He's also one of the most efficient running backs ever on a per-touch basis. The problem is, he seems under-utilized, ranking only 23rd in touches per game (15.4) over the past two seasons. Reason for optimism? When Mark Ingram was suspended during the first four weeks of last season, Kamara averaged an impressive 34.0 fantasy points per game -- according to Barrett, the most by any player ever through the first four weeks of the season. Can we expect him to enjoy the same workload for the entire season with Ingram now a Raven? We'll see. As Barrett explained, Kamara averaged 57.3 snaps, 14.0 carries, and 11.0 targets per game during that four-game stretch without Ingram. Across his final 11 games, Kamara averaged only 38.9 snaps, 12.5 carries and 4.9 targets per game. In other words, with Ingram gone to Baltimore, there is a pretty strong argument for considering Kamara as high as the first overall pick in fantasy drafts this summer.

Alvin Kamara 2018 Outlook
One of last year's most pleasant surprises, Kamara displayed his ability as both an efficient runner and a great pass catcher out of the backfield for the Saints, highlighted by his burst and his play-making skills. Kamara finished the season with 728 rushing yards, averaging 6.1 yards per carry, as well as 81 receptions for 826 yards, 14 total touchdowns (including a kickoff return for a TD). Of even greater interest to fantasy owners, while Kamara handled 24 percent of the Saints' carries during Weeks 1-14, that number climbed to 41 percent during their final five games. As ESPN's Mike Clay noted, though only a marginal increase, Kamara was also on the field for more passing plays and was targeted more often down the stretch. Go ahead and pencil him in for even more volume to open this season: Mark Ingram's four-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances means Kamara is suddenly in position to get the full workload (even if that's not the Saints' ideal scenario) while Ingram is sidelined. The real question is whether Kamara fares well enough with the increased workload to make his leading role permanent.

Alvin Kamara 2017 Outlook
The Saints traded next year's second-round pick to move up and land Kamara, who they envision as a Darren Sproles/Reggie Bush type. The rookie joins an already crowded backfield behind Mark Ingram and recently-signed free agent Adrian Peterson. But Kamara, who averaged 6.2 yards per attempt and 16 rushing scores during his two seasons at Tennessee, is clearly a different kind of back. As a runner, he excels around the edges on sweeps and stretches to the perimeter. Kamara not only flashes outstanding burst and acceleration, but he shows terrific stop-start quickness and cutback skills. Those same skills make the former Volunteer a nightmare to defend in the passing game, as well. As NFL.com suggested, he displays "cat-like quickness" in space and has polished receiving skills out of the backfield. Kamara runs precise routes from his traditional halfback position but also shows the potential to thrive as a route runner from the slot. Expect him to be an immediate -- albeit limited -- contributor while playing third fiddle behind Ingram and Peterson -- this year, at least.
