Alvin Kamara

"

The only consistent factor in the Saints offense is veteran Alvin Kamara. With a rookie quarterback, the team is expected to struggle and so may the numbers for Kamara. Touches will be fine, but touchdowns could be an issue.

"Situation in flux, ranking is fluid"

"

Kamara remains an excellent talent, but the Saints are rebuilding and quarterback is a massive question mark. The offensive line isn't far behind. The factors generate a boom-bust variance when projecting Kamara's 2025 value. 

If the combination of quarterbacks the Saints will try under center can feed Kamara in space, Kamara will generate enough of a workload to deliver low-end RB1 value, even if his scoring totals are modest (6-8 TDs) for his talents. If not, Kamara could slide to a low-end RB2. 

When considering how much help runners usually need to reach their respective ceilings, the receivers on the board near Kamara are likely better bets.

Alvin Kamara will be just 30 years old this season, and drafters should appreciate his greatness while they still can. Kamara entered the NFL as an amazing athlete at 214 pounds and has utilized his elite ability to become one of the best dual-threat running backs in league history. In eight seasons, Kamara has racked up 6,779 rushing yards, 60 rush touchdowns, 728 targets, 573 receptions, 4,762 receiving yards, and 25 receiving touchdowns.

His historical career was not a thing of the past when analyzing his play last season. In 2024, Kamara ranked third in opportunities per game (22.6), sixth in total yards per game (106.6), first in running back targets (89), second in running back receiving yards (543), and third in running back yards per route run (1.75). He’ll continue to be a staple for an offense that needs playmakers and for a new head coach who projects as an upgrade after winning the Super Bowl as Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator.

"The Saints look like they will be a bad team in 2025, but Kamara is a lone bright spot on the roster. He was a Top-10 fantasy back last season and came out of the gates red hot. He should be formidable as a pass-catcher, and could even be traded to a better situation before the season is over."
