News: 2 hours agoKamara posted 10 carries for 67 yards and gathered in six of 11 targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 26-8 loss to the Chargers.

Spin: Kamara added a spark to this listless Saints offense Week 8. The 29-year-old is still working his dealing with a broken hand suffered Week 5 and broken ribs suffered Week 3, but neither appeared to affect him as he logged three explosive plays Sunday. This included a team-long 37-yard reception on a screen pass and a 24-yard carry on which he fought through multiple defenders. Kamara still logged his second-fewest carries of any game this season, and he's now averaged 10.3 rushing attempts and 8.5 targets per game over the last four weeks. While his workload has taken a slight dip recently, Kamara should still play a significant role during next week's game versus the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 3.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kamara had a career-low 694 rush yards on just 3.9 yards per carry last season, but he was still an effective receiver (75 receptions) despite being 29 years old, and he finished as RB11. He was able to hold off rookie Kendre Miller, who was often injured last season, but we expect Miller to make a bigger impact this season. The versatile Taysom Hill is also probably going to eat into Kamara's production, further clouding his outlook. Kamara was ninth in the league in red zone touches and should still be a go-to option, but the days of him being one of the first RBs off the board are over. He's now a low-end RB1, and the aforementioned TD vultures will be bothersome to his fantasy managers this season.
