2 years agoNew Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) was present but not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media after he was limited in practice on Wednesday with a rib injury. It's possible that the Saints are giving Kamara a day to rest, but we'll know more about his Week 2 status on Friday. Fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place just in case the 27-year-old is unable to go on Sunday in a divisional clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons in which he saw just nine carries for 39 yards on 62% of the snaps, Kamara's fantasy stock is already falling. Tight end Taysom Hill was more productive on his four carries and also scored a touchdown. Hill and veteran Mark Ingram II figure to split backfield touches if Kamara is inactive.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
