Many have expected regression out of the pass-catching back for years now, but even at age 30, he is still going strong. Kamara’s New Orleans Saints don’t have a pretty outlook for their upcoming season, but can the running back still be fantasy football viable?</p><h2><b>Alvin Kamara’s 2024 fantasy football statistics </b></h2><p>Kamara is heading into his ninth NFL season. He has been a fantasy beast since day one. The Tennessee product has PPR format<a href="https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/stats/rb.php" rel="noopener"> finishes of</a> ninth, 11th, 16th, eighth, first, ninth, fourth, and third, dating back to his rookie season in 2017, according to fantasypros.com. Last year, Kamara ran for 1,299 yards and six touchdowns.</p><p>Of course, actual rushing of the football has always been a secondary skill for Kamara. His best attribute is his ability to catch passes out of the backfield, which is why he ranks so much better in PPR leagues than in standard formats. In PPR, Kamara had 265.3 fantasy points last season, but he only ranked 15th among running backs in standard leagues with his 197.3 points. Kamara had 68 catches for 583 yards last season. Earlier in his career, Kamara regularly surpassed 80 receptions per season. He hasn’t hit that mark in four years, but he is still one of the best pass-catching running backs in the NFL.</p><p>Kamara isn’t a one-dimensional player, though. Kamara is quick and elusive, and he thrives when he is able to get outside of the tackles. He is no slouch as a power running back, either.</p><h2><b>Alvin Kamara’s 2025 fantasy football projections </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/771877935-alvin-kamara-saints-coach.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Kamara’s days as arguably the top fantasy running back in the sport are probably over, but he is still consistent enough to warrant a late-third-to-mid-fourth round pick. Kamara is <a href="https://fantasy.espn.com/football/players/projections" rel="noopener">expected to</a> run for 916 yards and six touchdowns in 2025, according to ESPN. He is supposed to add 75 catches for 575 yards. Those numbers are in line with what Kamara has produced in recent years.</p><p>Age 30 is the magic number for when many running backs typically regress significantly. That isn’t the only factor going against Kamara. He also plays for a Saints team with arguably the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/ranking-all-32-nfl-starting-quarterbacks-ahead-of-the-2024-season">worst quarterback situation in football</a>, so defenses might be able to focus on the rushing attack.</p><p>Whoever starts between Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough will likely rely heavily on Kamara, though, especially as a security blanket dump-off option. The Saints will likely give their running back plenty of carries because they don’t want to overextend their young signal-callers, too. Considering Kendre Miller hasn’t developed like many expected, there isn’t much competition for carries in New Orleans, either.</p><h2><b>Fantasy football running back rankings</b></h2><p>Kamara’s <a href="https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/adp/overall.php" rel="noopener">average draft position</a> is 38.5, and fantasypros.com lists him as the number 16 running back this season. By that metric, Kamara is considered just an RB2, but his upside is much greater than that in PPR leagues. Even if he doesn’t put up big numbers on the ground, Kamara is going to catch passes. The running back probably doesn’t have a lot of time left as an elite player in the NFL, but he should be good for at least one more solid fantasy season.</p><p>Kamara isn’t the most consistent fantasy player on a week-to-week basis. He’ll likely have some performance duds, but he also has had explosive games before, including multiple 40-point-plus fantasy performances. These games are usually enough to win fantasy matchups, so if Kamara slides in drafts this year, scooping him up would be smart.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The veteran has just over two weeks remaining of his current break before the Saints call him back for training camp on July 23.</p><p>The Cubs’ meeting with the Cardinals is their second of a three-game series. Chicago dominated the first game 11-3 for its fourth consecutive victory. The final installment on Sunday afternoon will mark the team’s final regular-season home game of the year.</p><h2><b>Saints to rely on Alvin Kamara in 2025</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Alvin-Kamara-with-New-Orleans-Saints.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Luckily for Kamara, he will soon return to his roots. The five-time Pro Bowler will be asked to fill a big role in 2025 as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/saints-rumors-tyler-shough-in-line-week-1-starting-qb-after-derek-carr-retirement">Saints transition from Derek Carr to Tyler Shough</a> at quarterback. The quarterback change will be the third of Kamara’s career, after previously playing with Drew Brees and Jameis Winston.</p><p>Despite his advanced age, Kamara is coming off a career-high 950 rushing yards in 2024. While his first 1,000-yard campaign continues to elude him, Kamara maintained his traditional workhorse role in year eight. Even during New Orleans’ current state of limbo, Kamara figures to remain a featured part of the offense.</p><p>Kamara will also deal with another coaching change, with Kellen Moore making his head coaching debut in the fall. As a renowned offensive guru, Moore is likely to have multiple packages centered around his star running back already prepared.</p><p>The Saints begin the 2025 season on Sept. 7 against the Arizona Cardinals at home. They will remain at home until traveling to face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Then, they made headlines again after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/saints-news-derek-carr-retires-amid-shoulder-injury">quarterback Derek Carr announced he was retiring from football</a> due to a prolonged and nagging shoulder injury. It has been a rollercoaster offseason. But now, with mandatory minicamp underway, the headlines have shifted to more basic cuts or signings, including the <a href="https://x.com/AroundTheNFL/status/1933654362770874705">recent signing</a> of running back Cam Akers after a tryout.</p><p>Akers signed with the Saints after spending two practices during mandatory minicamp. He joins Alvin Kamara, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kendre Miller, and rookie sixth-round pick Devin Neal in a crowded backfield. Kamara is easily the best running back on the roster, but the battle will be over who wins the job for the second string.</p><p>The 2020 second-round pick turns 26 in June and still has plenty left in the tank as a running back in the NFL, but it might not be as a starter. The Los Angeles Rams drafted him, and after the 2023 season, traded him to the Minnesota Vikings. Then, Akers signed with the Houston Texans for the 2024-2025 season, but the Texans traded him to the Vikings in his second stint with the team halfway through the season.</p><p>He finished the year with 104 carries and 444 rushing yards with two touchdowns. Then, he had 14 receptions for 68 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.</p><p>Discussing the addition of Akers during Tuesday’s media session, Moore complemented what he’s seen from the veteran back, as he <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/new-orleans-saints-to-sign-free-agent-rb-cam-akers-after-minicamp-invitation-per-report/" rel="noopener">brings plenty of experience to the table</a>.</p><p>“Cam is an experienced player,” Moore said via CBS Sports. “He’s done a lot throughout this league. You’re always trying to evaluate as many players as possible as you go through this. So we felt like it was a great opportunity, and we are fired up that he wanted to come out here.”</p><p>His NFL career has been more bumpy than expected, especially after being a five-star recruit out of Mississippi and a standout at Florida State. In five NFL seasons, Akers has totaled 502 rushing attempts for 2,025 yards and 13 touchdowns, and he has also caught 52 passes for 388 yards and four touchdowns.</p><p>The new-look Saints are in line to utilize their ground game even more without Carr. Tyler Shough, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/saints-news-new-orleans-drafts-tyler-shough-not-shedeur-sanders-no-40">their rookie quarterback</a>, is most likely starting under center, and he will need help to get acclimated to the NFL. Akers brings some nice experience to a running back room with multiple weapons.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now the team is searching for a new running back after losing leading rusher <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-rumors-dallas-prime-candidate-draft-ashton-jeanty-even-after-rb-addition">Javonte Williams to the Dallas Cowboys</a> this offseason.</p><p>The Broncos failed to add a replacement for Williams at the start of free agency, and one former GM believes the <a href="https://x.com/MaseDenver/status/1904988596807061520" rel="noopener">team is waiting</a> for the draft to land its RB1.</p><p>ESPN’s Mike Tannenbaum sees Denver taking North Carolina’s Omarion Hampton with the 20th pick in the upcoming draft, according to Broncos reporter Andrew Mason on X.</p><p>“I just think Hampton’s speed, size, and his ability to catch, I think Sean’s going to have a tough time passing that guy up. I think he’s going to see Alvin Kamara,” Tannenbaum said.</p><h2><b>Broncos could bolster offense with running back Omarion Hampton</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Omarion-Hampton_c2b23f.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Hampton started turning heads after a standout performance at the NFL Combine. His measurables and college resume have some insiders believing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/nfl-rumors-omarion-hampton-could-join-ashton-jeanty-first-round-after-combine">Hampton will be a first-round pick</a>.</p><p>Hampton put together back-to-back stelar seasons at North Carolina. Last year, he ran for 1,660 yards and scored 15 touchdowns while adding 38 receptions for 373 yards and two scores. The 6-foot, 220-pound back ran a 4.46 40 at the combine, cementing his status as one of the top backs in the draft.</p><p>That’s no easy feat considering the depth and quality of the 2025 running back class. Tannenbaum believes “You’re going to see over 20 running backs drafted,” per Mason.</p><p>Boise State’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ncaa-football/boise-state-football-news-ashton-jeanty-draws-maurice-jones-drew-comparison-2025-draft-combine">Ashton Jeanty should be the first RB selected</a>. However, it’s unclear where he’ll go in the first round. Still, he’s almost certain to be off the board before the Broncos are on the clock with the 20th pick. But Hampton is expected to be available. And Payton could add a potent offensive weapon capable of taking some pressure off second-year quarterback Bo Nix.</p><p>If Payton believes he’s found his new Alvin Kamara, it would be awfully hard to pass on Hampton. Payton, of course, coached Kamara for five years with the New Orleans Saints. Kamara made the Pro Bowl each season that Payton was his head coach – and he hasn’t been selected since Payton left New Orleans in 2021.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team showed some improvement under Rizzi’s lead, though, as they went 3-5 during his eight games in charge. Kamara seems to believe that Rizzi is the guy for the job, and he <a href="https://x.com/A_kamara6/status/1881765700827750852" rel="noopener">threw his support behind him</a> on social media.</p><p>“Aite my vote for head coach rhyme wit Fizzi…” Kamara said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Alvin Kamara further speaks on Saints head coach drama</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Saints-running-back-Alvin-Kamara-and-interim-head-coach-Darren-Rizzi.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Saints interviewed Rizzi for their head coach opening last week, so they appear to have some interest in keeping him around. However, they also have brought some other big names in to interview for this gig, leading to a spirited debate about who should lead the team. Kamara also <a href="https://x.com/A_kamara6/status/1881768263463346209" rel="noopener">hilariously chimed in on this subject</a> with another comment on social media.</p><p>“Ion really speak too much football. Especially in the offseason. But it be funny hearing why yall think a coach should get a job or not. But then again.. the last time some yall played organized anything was last night on 2k. Can’t een get ya best friend to pass you the ball at the park. Wife mad as hell you yelling on the game all night 😂😂” Kamara said in another post on X.</p><p>Given how poorly Allen fared during his time in charge of the team, it’s not much of a surprise to see that the Saints head coaching search is generating this sort of attention. Kamara wants to see Rizzi return as the team’s head coach, but at this point, it seems like other candidates are emerging as frontrunners to land this gig.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
