A quick glance of the Saints roster immediately reveals that Alvin Kamara is the best fantasy option on the team. The 30-year-old is entering his ninth season at the running back position, but he remains a productive player. He finished 2024 with three games of more than 100 yards rushing -- the first time he's done that since 2021 -- and from Week 4 till the end of the season, he had at least four receptions in every game.
And therein lies Kamara's true value in fantasy, especially in PPR leagues -- production through the passing game. For his career, Kamara is only 51 receptions away from reaching third on the all-time list for receptions by a running back -- a total he failed to reach only once in eight years. To what degree the below-average offense around him limits his productivity remains to be seen, but fantasy managers can always count on Kamara putting up numbers as a receiving threat. And with the prospect of the team relying on inexperience at the QB position, we should expect a boat load of dump-offs to Kamara, which raises his floor. He's currently being drafted as a RB2. If you select him, keep your fingers crossed that the struggles he's sure to find from the players around him doesn't derail his productivity.

Broncos ship WR Devaughn Vele to Saints for draft picks
DEN gets 2026 fourth-round pick and 2027 seventh-round pick
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Aug 20, 6:58 pm
|  | We’ve agreed to terms on a trade with the New Orleans Saints for a 2026 fourth-round pick and 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for WR Devaughn Vele. (Denver Broncos on X)
FFToday's Take: As a rookie last season, Vele finished with a 41-475-3 line; respectable for the team but not really fantasy worthy in most 12-team redraft leagues. His fantasy prospects aren't enhanced by going to the Saints given their issues at quarterback. At best, he'll slide into the No.3 receiver role and be the 4th offensive option behind Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. This move opens up room for Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant to increase their roles in the Denver offense.
