The Saints upset the Ravens in Week 2, but the RB split makes Travis Etienne a fantasy concern going forward. Alvin Kamara returned to the lineup after missing Week 1, and Kendre Miller was inactive. That didn’t seem to help Etienne, who had 8 rushes for 25 yards. Kamara had 9 carries for 15 yards and was most active in the passing game, catching 5 of 6 targets for 7 yards, while Etienne caught both his targets for 6 yards. It appears Etienne is set to split time no matter which other RBs are active.

Saints RB Kendre Miller is inactive for today's game vs. the Ravens. He matched RB Travis Etienne with 9 carries last week but gets the boot today with RB Alvin Kamara back. We'll see how big a role Kamara plays in his 2026 debut, but Miller's absence makes Etienne a slightly better fantasy bet.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll make his 2026 debut vs. the Ravens on Sunday. Kamara isn’t a viable fantasy starter but figures to steal some passing-down work from RB Travis Etienne.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. HC Kellen Moore said afterward that Kamara is expected to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. Kamara shouldn't be in fantasy lineups, but his return adds another threat to RB Travis Etienne, who was already in a committee in Week 1.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Lions today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a slight surprise after Kamara was a full-go in Friday's practice, but he's still not even 4 weeks removed from his MCL sprain. Kamara's absence should mean more passing-down snaps for RB Travis Etienne, who should see plenty of volume today.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is "ready to go" for this weekend's opener vs. the Lions, HC Kellen Moore said Friday. Kamara is listed as questionable but was a full participant in Friday's practice. He shouldn't be in Week 1 fantasy lineups, but his availability does put a small dent in RB Travis Etienne's projection.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's three weeks removed from an MCL injury that was expected to cost him a month, but it looks like he at least has a chance to play vs. the Lions this weekend. Kamara shouldn't be in fantasy lineups, but his availability would put a dent in RB Travis Etienne's outlook.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara left a scrimmage with the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the injury was a sprained MCL and will miss at least the next month with the injury. That sets up RB Travis Etienne for a full workload and makes Kamara undraftable in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara left a scrimmage with the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury, reported by Nick Underhill of Neworleans.Football.

The Saints are finalizing a contract restructure with RB Alvin Kamara, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara has been bandied as a trade or cut candidate all offseason, especially since the arrival of RB Travis Etienne. But, appearing on Terron Armstead's The Set on Monday, Kamara sounded set on returning for another season in New Orleans.

Saints HC Kellen Moore says "he plans on having Alvin Kamara in the running back room and thinks he and [Travis] Etienne can fit together well," according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The Saints, of course, signed Etienne to a four-year, $48 million deal -- including $28 million in guarantees -- this offseason. Kamara's heading into the final year of his contract, with a $10.5 million cap hit. He'll turn 31 in late July.

The Saints are expected to sign RB Travis Etienne Jr., according to multiple reports. He spent his first five years with the Jaguars after arriving as a first-round pick, outlasting head coaches Urban Meyer and Doug Pederson before playing 2025 under Liam Coen. Etienne turned 27 in January. He's getting a four-year, $52 million pact with New Orleans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. With RB Devin Neal on IR, New Orleans is again down to Audric Estime and Evan Hull as their top two RBs. But it was Taysom Hill who led the team with 12 carries last week, adding six targets and a passing score. Hill makes for an intriguing – albeit risky – Week 17 fantasy play.
