Alvin Kamara Week 8 Outlook - Saints at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 9:42pm EDT

Kamara is the RB5 in fantasy points per game, ranking fifth in snap share, seventh in opportunity share, and first in weighted opportunities. He has been a volume king, ranking sixth in carries and first in targets among running backs, while he has averaged 20.8 touches and 98.6 total yards. He remains a terrible tackle-breaker, but with the volume he sees, it hasn't mattered much. Among 66 qualifying backs, Kamara ranks 51st in missed tackles forced per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Kamara faces a Bolts run defense that has allowed the ninth-highest missed tackle rate, has the ninth-lowest stuff rate, and has given up the eighth-highest zone rushing success rate (Kamara 72.1% zone).
