Kamara is part of a dynamic running back duo with Travis Etienne Jr. that Saints fans were hoping for when the team paired them this offseason. The combination of Etienne and Kamara looks like exactly what the Saints envisioned, with both players developing strong communication and trust that allow them to help each other even when not on the field. Kamara is serving as a mentor to Etienne, who is actively learning from his experience and approach to the game.

PositiveRoleJul 30, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Ian Hartitz expects Alvin Kamara to play a significant role for the Saints in 2026 despite a down 2025 season and contract restructure. Kamara is actively receiving first-team reps alongside Travis Etienne in training camp, signaling the team's commitment to keeping him. His best career seasons came in a 50/50 split with Mark Ingram, and the contract restructure reinforces that role expectation. Kamara was RB5 in PPR in 2024 and is only one year removed from that production. He missed late-season opportunities against weak defenses (Jets, Panthers, Titans) while playing with Spencer Rattler at quarterback, suggesting his 2025 decline was partly circumstantial rather than a permanent decline. Hartitz views Kamara as a much better player historically and expects him to receive significant pass-down work in the Saints' offense.

NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast
Alvin Kamara is rising in best ball ADP after re-signing with the Saints, with the expectation he'll have a complimentary pass-catching role to Travis Etienne. However, Zachariason kept things neutral with Kamara versus how the market has risen. He notes that Etienne was probably overvalued as a player last year (not in fantasy), with worse success rate than Bijan Robinson. Etienne hasn't seen a 15% target share in his career, and Kellen Moore's offenses historically don't hyper-target running backs. Zachariason understands why Kamara's ADP rose but is cautious because he's now splitting the backfield with a pretty good running back rather than being in a clear lead role.

Coach Kellen Moore expressed confidence in Kamara's ability to contribute despite the depth chart shift, stating 'Credit to Alvin, he always does a great job during the offseason of really training himself and putting himself to be in a position ready to go. You certainly see that when he's out there on the field. We feel great about the situation.' The five-time Pro Bowler agreed to a $5.5 million pay cut to remain in New Orleans, demonstrating organizational commitment to his role.
