Alvin Kamara (illness) returns to full Saints practice Thursday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) practiced in full on Thursday for Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.
What It Means:
Kamara returned after sitting out the first practice of the week with an illness. Despite missing three games, Kamara is tied with Josh Jacobs for the league-lead in running back targets (39). He's also averaging 26.0 touches and 109.5 yards from scrimmage per contest. Kamara should carry the load again on Sunday versus the Colts.
Kamara ($8,300) is the RB2 in numberFire's Week 8 PPR rankings and our models project him for 17.4 FanDuel points, with 16.8 rush attempts, 70.2 rushing yards, 4.7 receptions, and 33.4 receiving yards. The Colts are allowing the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to running backs this season, but per numberFire's opponent-adjusted NEP rankings, their run defense is 11th in the league.
