Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Alvin Kamara (personal) misses another practice on Thursday
Alvin Kamara (personal) missed practice for a second-straight day on Thursday due to a personal matter.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints have been vague about Kamara’s status but have indicated that he’ll be available on Sunday against the Eagles. Keep monitoring the situation if he’s on your roster. If he ends up missing the game, David Johnson and Eno Benjamin will likely split snaps, along with some help from Taysom Hill.

Damien Harris (thigh) not seen at practice Thursday
Damien Harris was not seen at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
This is a downgrade after Harris was limited in practice on Wednesday. It is looking like he will miss another game as he has been sidelined since Week 12.

James Conner (illness) misses practice again Thursday
James Conner remained sidelined in practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
This is a bit more worrisome for fantasy managers with Conner missing back-to-back practices. He can still be good to go with a return to practice on Friday, so that will be worth monitoring for fantasy managers.

Christian Watson (hip) remains sidelined in practice Thursday
Despite some confusion, Christian Watson was listed as a non-participant in practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Matt LaFleur said Watson would be on the field in a limited capacity today, but during the individual portion of practice, he was only with the rehab groups. With back-to-back missed practices, Watson will have to log at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance of playing this week in a very favorable matchup against the Vikings. Allen Lazard would see a boost if Watson is sidelined.
