The New Orleans Saints will visit the Miami Dolphins in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Alvin Kamara.
Is Alvin Kamara Playing in Week 13?
Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, WWL’s Jeff Novak reports.

Should You Start or Sit Kamara in Week 13?
The MCL sprain that Alvin Kamara suffered last week is said to be more of a minor injury, but one that is more likely than not to cost him this week at a minimum.
You’re holding because of the upcoming schedule (Weeks 15-17: vs. Panthers, vs. Jets, and at Titans) and this team’s commitment to Kamara as their lead man, but expectations have to be low based on everything we’ve seen (3.6 yards per carry and just 186 receiving yards this season) and now a nagging injury.
Devin Neal is the next man up and he caught five of seven targets last week. The sixth round rookie is worthy of rostering, but even in a plus matchup like this, I’m not tempted to clal his number with zero teams on a bye.
