The New Orleans Saints will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. 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 14?
Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.
We’ll continue to monitor the Saints’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Kamara in Week 14?
A low-body injury resulted in Kamara missing his first game of the season on Sunday. While the timetable is TBD, reports noted that the veteran RB wasn’t expected to be placed on IR.
Is the glass half-empty or half-full?
This suggests that his absence will be fewer than four games (three more), but it doesn’t exactly breathe optimism into his availability in the short term. He doesn’t have a finish better than RB14 this season and has finished the majority of his games outside of the top 25 at the position.
The answer to your lineup questions this time of year shouldn’t include Saints: you’re playing Chris Olave, or you’re grasping for straws. That sentiment won’t change unless Kamara finds the fountain of youth, recovers in a hurry, and proves both of those things to us over the next month.
Yeah, not betting on it.
