Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Alvin Kamara Play Week 4?
Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) planning to play vs. Falcons
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is set to play in Week 4 despite being ailed this week by a pair of hip and rib injuries.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara logged a DNP-limited-limited series of practices this week; his early non-participation provided quite the scare, but he seems good to go against his division rivals in Atlanta. Kamara has been a star this season, highlighted by a four-TD performance in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. He has a half-PPR Week 4 ECR of RB5, a must-start in all leagues. If he is limited, RB Jamaal Williams will act as N.O.’s RB2.

Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) questionable to play Sunday
Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) is questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara has been limited at practice in each of the last to days and will carry a questionable tag heading into the weekend. He’s dealing with a pair of injuries at the moment, and while it seems more likely than not that he will play, there’s a chance that the team will let him sit out. If that’s the case, Jamaal Williams will be in line for a lot of work in his absence.

Alvin Kamara (hip/rib) upgraded to limited Thursday
Alvin Kamara (hip/rib) was upgraded to a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara wasn’t able to practice on Wednesday, but he returned and participated in a limited capacity on Thursday. He’s dealing with a pair of minor injuries, and his status for Week 4 is unclear as of right now. Fantasy managers should pay attention to his official injury designation following Friday’s practice.

What the Experts Are Saying
Alvin Kamara popped up on the Week 4 Injury Report with injuries to his hip and rib area. This could be cause for concern considering Kamara has already logged 71 touches this season. His career-high in touches for a season is 287. This week Kamara will do battle with an Atlanta Falcons team that has yet to allow a running back to score against them. These factors reduce the likelihood of a Kamara ceiling game, but he should still be a fixture in fantasy lineups as long as he is medically cleared.
