3 years agoNew Orleans Saints running backs Alvin Kamara (knee) and Mark Ingram II (knee) were absent at the team's walkthrough on Tuesday, according to team reporter Nick Underhill. This isn't a great sign for their availability on Thursday night, but there will be more clarity in regards to their game statuses on Wednesday. Kamara has been sidelined for the past two games, so no practice in a short week is not a good sign for his status. The Saints face a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, so Kamara is the only must-start option if he is active. Ingram could have some upside as an RB2 due to his heavy workload in Kamara's absence, but Tony Jones Jr. could cut into his playing time if Ingram is still banged up on Thursday. Should both of them miss Week 12, that would leave Jones and Dwayne Washington in the New Orleans backfield, which may be a situation to avoid entirely for fantasy managers.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
