Kamara has declined significantly since his peak years, falling to 3.9 YPC since 2021 and 3.0 YPC this season at age 31. The source notes this could plausibly be his final season and expresses doubt about his sustained value, stating 'I'd be surprised if he held reliable value through the season.' Despite a 9.7 half-point PPR performance in Week 7 (six carries, five yards, seven catches on seven targets, 57 yards), the source characterizes this as the 'PPR scam'—scoring passably without playing well. Kamara is averaging 9.1 half-point PPR points but faces competition from Travis Etienne Jr. (potentially returning after Week 8) and Kendre Miller.

Kamara and Kendre Miller each had 13 of the Saints' 26 backfield opportunities (50.0%), but snap distribution favored Kamara: he played 32 of 57 snaps (56%, up from 26% in Week 6) while Miller played 22 (39%, down from 44%). Kamara's 13 opportunities came at 0.41 per snap versus Miller's 0.59. Kamara ran 6 times for 5 yards and caught 7 of 7 targets for 57 yards, demonstrating a pass-catching role despite limited rushing production.

The Saints' run game was historically poor in Week 7, with the team rushing 17 times for 18 yards and running backs averaging 0.8 yards per carry. Kamara, as the featured back, was part of a unit that generated 0.0 yards before contact on average, indicating a systemic failure in run design and execution. The source notes the Saints' run game has been a persistent problem since last season despite offensive line investment and that the issue is now an emergency.

The Saints' run game was historically bad in Week 7, with New Orleans rushing 17 times for 18 yards and running backs averaging 0.8 yards per carry. The source notes that even 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers rushed for more yards than any single Saints player, illustrating the severity of the offensive line and run design failures. Kamara and the Saints' backfield are caught in a systemic run game collapse that has persisted since last season despite significant offseason investment in offensive line upgrades.

Saints (vs Steelers): CJ Donaldson left in the 1st half with a shoulder injury and did not return, which condensed the backfield Personnel on dropbacks: 11 at 85%, 12 at 10%, 13 at 5% RBs: Alvin Kamara: 54% opp share, 38% rush att share, 54% route share, 32% TPRR, 2.59 YPRR, 0% of i10 rush att, 25% of 2min RB snaps, 58% 3rd down snap share Saints cannot run the ball so getting Kamara going in the pass game almost as an extension makes sense - just a flex Kendre Miller: 46% opp share, 50% rush...

Alvin Kamara carried 6 times for 5 rushing yards (0.8 yards per carry) and caught 7 passes for 57 receiving yards in the Saints' 16-10 loss to Pittsburgh in Paris. The extremely low rushing efficiency and minimal ground game production (Saints totaled 17 carries, 18 yards as a team) reflects a struggling offensive line and game script; Kamara's receiving volume (7 receptions) provided some PPR value but the overall performance was disappointing.

Alvin Kamara has rock-bottom expectations this week against Pittsburgh; however, the source is playing him due to injuries elsewhere on the roster. In the three games without Travis Etienne, Kamara has had two pretty good performances: 23 points against Atlanta and 15 points against the New York Giants, though the usage is so bad that this game against Pittsburgh will most likely be rough. The source is hoping for just eight fantasy points to avoid losing the matchup. By game end, Kamara scored only 0.5 points, and the source states they should have played Gainwell instead and will be cutting Kamara no matter what happens after this week.
