After a monster season in which he averaged 6.1 yards per rush and 10.1 per reception, negative regression was a popular narrative in the fantasy community for the impressive running back for the Saints. Continuing to post video game-like numbers is difficult to do, especially once defensive coordinators get a full season of fill to study.
Kamara's yard per carry average did go down to a more reasonable 4.6, and his yard per reception average fell nearly two full yards. But Kamara's volume jumped from 120 carrels as a rookie to 194 as a sophomore, and his rushing touchdown total nearly doubled.
With two full seasons of elite-level production, Kamara is securely entrenched atop the first round in all formats. In addition to finishing second only to Todd Gurley in rushing touchdowns, Kamara was one of only four running backs to finish with over 100 targets in the passing game.
The contract holdouts of Ezekiel Elliott and Melvin Gordon will push up the value of elite running backs like Kamara, Barkley, and McCaffrey even further, making Kamara an even more valuable asset and a true dual-threat stud.

 Alvin Kamara in danger of missing Week 7
Reportedly dealing with high-ankle sprain
By: Doug Orth | Thu Oct 17, 7:50 pm
|  | RB Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) remained absent from Saints practice Thursday. (ESPN - Mike Triplett)
FFToday's Take: Kamara has been extremely durable since entering the league in 2017, so his potential absence this week will come as a shock to the system. With that said, it's probably not the worst thing for him to sit at least one game considering the matchup (Bears) and the fact Teddy Bridgewater's presence has greatly reduced the explosiveness of this offense. Considering the Saints figure to get Drew Brees back after the team's Week 9 bye, it's possible Kamara sits until then as well.
| Alvin Kamara expected to play
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 13, 7:00 am
| | RB Alvin Kamara tweaked his ankle this week and missed the last day of practice, but he is expected to play today barring a setback, sources say. He participated in the walk-through on Saturday and that was another sign he should be on the field today. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Kamara should be good to for his matchup against the Jaguars in Week 6. He comes with a little more risk than usual but still projects to be an RB1.
| Alvin Kamara listed as Questionable
Tweaked his ankle Thursday, missed practice Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 11, 4:15 pm
| | RB Alvin Kamara didn't practice today after tweaking an ankle. I'm told it's not a major injury and he sat out practice as a precaution, but that'll be one to watch. He's officially listed as questionable for Sunday against the #Jaguars. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like Kamara will suit up but we'll know for sure when the Inactives come out on Sunday morning. Latavius Murray would see an increased workload if Kamara sits.
| Drew Brees out 6 weeks, torn ligament in thumb
Surgery required
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Sep 16, 10:30 am
| | Saints' QB Drew Brees is expected to undergo thumb surgery as early as today that would be expected to sideline him approximately 6 weeks, per leagues sources. If the Saints decide to put Drew Brees on IR for the thumb surgery that is required, he would be unable to practice for six weeks and would to miss eight games. Saints also could not place him on IR and bring him back when ready. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: We got a sense yesterday when the injury occurred that Brees was going to miss some time. He couldn't grip the football and left the game with a hard cast on his thumb. Teddy Bridgewater will take over as the starting quarterback while Brees is out. This is a downgrade for all the Saints skill players including Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas and Jared Cook. Bridgewater checks in as a middling QB2.
