    Alvin Kamara (knee) is not practicing on Tuesday.

    This isn’t a surprise, as Kamara’s timeline to return per Adam Schefter as of August 19 was a month away. What was a minor surprise is that Kamara wasn’t placed on injured reserve before the start of the season. Perhaps there is still a chance he can go in Week 1, though we’d call him doubtful at this point based on the initial timeline.

    This is a tough break. The Saints’ high-priced free agent signee will be sidelined for at least four games. Their Week 8 bye makes him eligible to return in Week 9. Veteran RB Alvin Kamara is the next man up, followed by RB Kendre Miller. Both should be rostered in 12-team leagues. Kamara will likely get the first crack at the starting job, but he has struggled to play efficiently this season, and coach Kellen Moore gave RB CJ Donaldson the backfield’s first green zone touch last week.

    It’s unclear how much time Etienne will miss, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this became an injured reserve stint. Alvin Kamara could find himself in a more elevated role next week, perhaps with Kendre Miller joining him in a committee. Etienne exited Week 3’s loss to the Raiders with the injury after rushing for 57 yards on 13 carries. It had already been a tough scene for Etienne-reliant fantasy managers this year just based on how the results on the field were going; this won’t help.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Kamara largely assumed lead rushing duties once RB Travis Etienne left after aggravating his hamstring injury, but it didn’t amount to much. The 31-year-old Kamara will likely be the Saints’ starter next week, assuming Etienne cannot play, but he is only an FLEX play against the Falcons.
  • NO Running Back #3
    Etienne remains limited, which keeps him in the questionable camp for the Saints’ Week 3 game against the Raiders. Saints RB3 Kendre Miller was sidelined by an illness, but those rarely impact NFL players’ availability on game day. Veteran RB Alvin Kamara should be rostered wherever he is available.
  • NO Running Back #3
    Etienne begins the week with a limited session, which is either good or bad, depending on when the injury occurred. If this is a lingering issue from Sunday, Etienne should be considered likely to play. Limited practices early in the week are generally a good sign. However, if he suffered the injury during today’s practice, his Week 3 availability would be in jeopardy. Veteran Saints RB Alvin Kamara would likely get the start, but RB Kendre Miller would be FLEX-viable if Etienne sits.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Despite averaging a highly inefficient 1.6 yards per touch, head coach Kellen Moore didn’t hesitate to get Kamara involved early and often. At halftime, Kamara’s 10 touches were eight more than 2026 free agent signee Travis Etienne had, but Etienne would narrowly edge out Kamara for touches in the second half. Kamara ran only seven routes and was out-snapped 34-19 by Etienne overall. We love our PPR scams in fantasy, but it’d be nice to see Kamara actually add some yardage to the receptions before we consider him a fantasy starter. He shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a desperation FLEX play against the Raiders in Week 3.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Kamara has successfully rehabbed his MCL sprain and resumed practicing in full this week. He joins a Saints backfield that employed a committee approach in Week 1. Kamara should be expected to play on passing downs. Whether he takes a meaningful rushing share and rotates in for red zone snaps remains unknown. He warrants PPR FLEX consideration with RB2 upside.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Kamara was limited throughout practice last week and was ruled out with inactives. Moore said today that he could have played but needed more time on task, implying that limited preparation was the larger issue, not Kamara’s health. Travis Etienne split work with Kendre Miller last week. Kamara will presumably take on Miller’s role as the backup, though he could also eat into Etienne’s target total. Etienne caught seven balls in his Saints debut. If he loses that work, Etienne could fall out of the RB2 ranks entirely.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Kamara practiced in full this week, but the Saints are going to give him at least seven more days to get fully healthy. Kendre Miller will back up Travis Etienne. Also inactive for the Saints are TE Oscar Delp, QB Zach Wilson, OL Mason Murphy, EDGE Cameron Jordan, DL John Ridgeway III, and DL Khristian Boyd.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Kamara practiced in full on Friday but was still listed as questionable for Week 1. It doesn’t sound like there are any immediate concerns with the knee issue, but rather the team wants to ease him back into action with another week of practice. Kendre Miller will serve as the team’s RB2 for this game.

    Emeka Egbuka caught 2-of-4 targets for 13 yards in the Buc’s Week 4 loss to the Packers.

    Egbuka had been operating as the Bucs’ No. 1 receiver until this game. With Jalon Daniels struggling to get the deep ball going, he opted for easy completions to Cade Otton and Chris Godwin, who combined for 10 catches. Egbuka, in turn, was hung out to dry. He almost saved the day with a touchdown catch, but the throw was low and behind him. Egbuka still had a chance to bring in the pass but couldn’t corral it with a Green Bay defender smothering him in coverage. Egbuka hasn’t topped 64 yards in a game since Week 10 of last year. With Daniles under center for a few more weeks, it may be a while before Egbuka hits triple digits again. He is barely a WR3 for his Week 5 date with the Cowboys.

    Chase Brown rushed nine times for 10 yards in the Bengals’ Week 4 loss to the Jaguars, adding 11 receptions for 71 yards.

    It was a big pass-catching day for Brown, who saw 11-of-54 total Bengals targets on the day. After Ja’Marr Chase (concussion) exited, Brown and Tee Higgins saw massive upticks in usage. Brown saw 57 backfield snaps, catching a series of checkdowns and wheel routes despite just 10 rushing yards on the day. He worked ahead of Samaje Perine on passing downs, a good sign for his fantasy production moving forward. We don’t expect Brown to consistently see this many targets but a high backfield share gives him a consistent fantasy floor. Brown is a fringe RB1 for Week 5 against the Dolphins.

    Wan’Dale Robinson caught 3-of-5 targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Titans’ Week 4 loss to the Ravens.

    Robinson was bailed out of a disappointing fantasy day when he hauled in a three-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward late in the fourth quarter. Robinson was heavily out-targeted by Carnell Tate in this one, but he and Tate continue to be the only fantasy-viable receivers in this Titans offense. Robinson could be in play as a desperation FLEX play in next week’s game agains the Texans.

    Ted Hurst caught 2-of-3 targets for 25 yards in the Bucs’ Week 4 loss to the Packers.

    Hurst was the only Bucs pass-catcher to gain more than 20 yards on a single play. The passing game was otherwise relegated to intermediate throws and check-downs in Jalon Daniels’ first start. With Jalen McMillan on IR, Hurst has locked up a starting role. That simply is worth much for fantasy managers with a backup quarterback under center. Hurst will be a desperation FLEX play when he takes on the Cowboys next week.

    Tony Pollard rushed 16 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Titans’ Week 4 loss to the Ravens, adding two catches for two additional yards.

    Pollard was wildly inefficient in this one, but saved his fantasy day when he scored a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter to give the Titans their first points of the day. It was the first touchdown of the season for Pollard, who continues to serve as the Titans’ primary back, but there’s not much fantasy upside to be had here. Pollard will be a boom-or-bust RB3 next week against the Texans.

    Chris Godwin caught 6-of-7 targets for 31 yards in the Bucs’ Week 4 loss to the Packers.

    UDFA rookie Jalon Daniels made his first career start and leaned on Godwin for some easy completions. Godwin led the team in catches and targets, though Cade Otton surprisingly led the way in yards with 37. Godwin set new season highs in targets and catches. The Bucs are operating an incredibly low-wattage offense without Baker Mayfield, but Godwin could continue to see enough work to return WR4 numbers in PPR leagues. He will put that to the test versus the Cowboys in Week 5.

    Davante Adams caught 4-of-9 targets for 32 yards in the Rams’ Week 4 win over the Eagles.

    Adams was the victim of a bad Matthew Stafford ball or two in rainy Philadelphia conditions, but he sadly immediately reverted to clear No. 2 wideout status with Puka Nacua back in the lineup. Nacua went off for 9/125. Adams now has seven catches for 58 scoreless yards in two games with Nacua in the lineup compared to 15/332/2 in two games without. Hopefully that trend normalizes a bit for a potential Week 5 shootout with the Bills.

    Brenton Strange caught 7-of-8 targets for 95 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 4 win over the Bengals.

    Strange was Trevor Lawrence’s primary target against a Bengals defense that has struggled against tight ends. Many of his targets were middle-of-the-field intermediate passes as he tallied 95 total receiving yards on the day. The Jaguars offense has a variety of pass-catchers that can find success based on defensive matchup. The game environment aligned perfectly for Strange, who rarely came off the field with 53 total snaps. The Eagles are a tougher matchup for tight ends, but Strange is a good streamer option in the high-end TE2 territory for a Week 5 matchup in London.

    Puka Nacua caught 9-of-12 targets for 125 yards in the Rams’ Week 4 win over the Eagles.

    Out there for the first time since Week 1, Nacua did what he always seems to do when active and post a dominant statline. We say “active” rather than “healthy,” as FOX’s Erin Andrews confirmed during the broadcast Nacua is dealing with some sort of sports-hernia situation. That could make him something of a week-to-week proposition but hopefully the superstar wideout has found some way to manage the pain for the rest of the season. He has a Week 5 smash spot in the Bills’ shootout-prone defense. He will also have an extra day to get healthy with the game taking place on Monday Night Football.
