The New Orleans Saints will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Alvin Kamara.
Is Alvin Kamara Playing in Week 13?
Kamara is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Saints’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Alvin Kamara in Week 13?
Kamara has been among the most consistent performers in our game this season (top-20 back in nine of 11 games, including each of his past four), and it seems that run of production coming off of his bye is slowed by the defense that allows the sixth most points per drive to opposing offenses.
Am I in love with his profile? I’m not. Kamara’s fantasy point total has been below expectations in eight of his past nine, and he doesn’t have a 25-yard rush this season (183 attempts), but the versatility (eight straight games with at least four receptions) and volume mask those concerns.
If you want to use the limited ceiling potential that comes with efficiency as a reason to look elsewhere when constructing your main-slate DFS roster, go for it. When it comes to season-long, you’re playing Kamara without a second thought.
