Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He comes up 50 yards short of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) is also out, leaving the backfield to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams. Edwards-Helaire is the best bet for touches but would be a desperation fantasy play. The Saints are 14-point underdogs.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He’ll come up 50 yards short of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) has been ruled out, so we’re looking at Clyde Edwards-Helaire as New Orleans’ likely lead back in the finale, with RBs Jordan Mims and Jamaal Williams behind him. Try to avoid this backfield in fantasy lineups. The Saints are 16.5-point underdogs with a 15-point implied total.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He needs 50 more rushing yards for his first 1,000-yard season and is pushing to get back for this weekend's finale vs. the Buccaneers. We'll track his status over the next few days. RB Kendre Miller (concussion) was also out on Wednesday.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He didn’t practice all week, but interim HC Darren Rizzi believes Kamara has a chance to make it back for Week 18. He needs 50 rushing yards for his first 1,000-yard season. New Orleans will again roll with RBs Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams this weekend. Miller was a big bust last week but should get better game script against the Raiders on Sunday. He’s at least in play as a RB3 or Flex.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. New Orleans deployed a three-RB committee of Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams with Kamara out last week. It's a backfield to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
The Saints have ruled RB Alvin Kamara out for Monday night's game against the Packers because of his groin injury. That comes as no surprise and aligns with what HC Darren Rizzi indicated earlier this week.
Interim HC Darren Rizzi commented that RB Alvin Kamara's groin injury is more serious than they initially thought. He also said that it doesn't look good for Kamara to return this week. If Kamara can't go, RB Kendre Miller will likely be the lead back for the Saints against the Packers on Monday Night Football.
Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that, while Kamara is still being evaluated, his injury could be season-ending.
The Saints signed RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the practice squad. It could be a sign that they're expecting to be without RB Alvin Kamara (groin) for Monday night's game vs. the Packers. Edwards-Helaire did not touch the ball for the Chiefs this season after averaging just 3.2 yards per carry last year. He won't be a fantasy factor the rest of this season. RB Kendre Miller remains a good bet to control backfield work if Kamara misses time.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara is considered "day-to-day" with the groin injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, according to insider Nick Underhill. Kamara had an MRI after the game, which evidently revealed a relatively minor injury. He has an extra day to get ready for next Monday night's game vs. the Packers. We'll track his status throughout the week. Kamara's absence would leave Kendre Miller as New Orleans' lead back.
