Haha. If Taysom Hill was an NBA point guard he would average 0 assists. Dude calls his own number every time!
Sadly though he’s kind of good…

Funny how all of the Kamara Hysteria has died down.
If you acquired him in a buy-low trade, congrats.

Taysom Hill should never enter the game. You have Drew Brees, in the discussion for GOAT. Don't take him off the field for your wildcat bull####, ever.
Sean Payton does dumb stuff like this too often.

2 TD's and 19 PPR points in the first quarter...think he's still capable of single-handedly winning games

30 points in one half of football. Wow

Yup. Glad to be wrong on that one.
He’s become the number one guy. I don’t think the Saints want it that way, it’s just how it has to be for them to win games.
For Kamara to put up a dud at this point I think you’d need a Saints blowout, no likely blowouts on their schedule that I see.

Ingram is a good player, no doubt. But to my eyes, Kamara is an elite type player. I don't understand why he can't be a bell cow kind of back in the mold of Gurley or Belle before all the holdout drama. He's just so electric. He should be an every down back. My two cents

How's it looking for all those Kamara owners that panicked and traded him after the first Ingram game?

Hard to say without knowing what they flipped him for

Week 14 at TB has blowout potential if the Saints D stays on point. We do not want blowouts. Week 15 and 16 Kamaras more likely to go off.

It's pretty apparent now that was a conscious decision by Sean Payton to rest Kamara after heavy usage from Week1 - Week4. That game was all about Drew Brees breaking the passing yardage record and bringing Ingram up-to-speed.Alex P Keaton said:
With the exception of Dallas in Week 13, all of the remaining teams on the Saints' schedule are more than capable of putting up big points on a suspect Nawlins defense. Gonna be Shoot-Out City for Kamara and company. Kamara ignites that offense, and is a matchup nightmare of the highest order.

But that game was a blow out and a weird confluence of events (Brees’ record, Ingram’s return).

Absolutely not. To the contrary, more incentive to hold home field advantage for the playoffs.

I forgot what thread I was in and thought we were talking about the Rams. Yeah, it does get concerning for Kamara if the Chiefs win. I don’t know Payton’s philosophy but hopefully he wouldn’t rest starters that far in advance of the playoffs. That’s a long wait. I’d be more concerned about a repeat of week 5 and limited touches.

I miss the days when they would throw to this guy and get him out in space more.
It seems like they would do that more when trailing. It’s been a while since they have needed to play catch up, but I still agree with your ur assertion

Sort of RB2-ish now, despite the ridiculous talent.
Saw this coming at the beginning of the season...
Just so many options in NO, and Brees is phenomenal at using them. + Ingram II.

Honestly though, how many players would you rank ahead of him? Assuming standard? He’s still a threat for 3 tds any given game.

For re-draft i'd take the below over him:
Barkley/Gurley/Gordon/Hunt/Elliott. So i've got him 6th ROS.
Kwai Chang Caine
Footballguy
That seems fair although I’d personally prefer him to Hunt or Gordon but wouldn’t argue either over him.
I’m in a long time ten team league where we can protect one player in round one if we want forever. I just traded my 2019 6th round pick to the guy who has Kamara and Mahomes and knows he can’t keep both. I feel it’s worth it to lock him up as long as I want to keep him. All those backs you mentioned above will be protected.

Hope you're right. Last couple of games have not been top 5 RB.
Brees is throwing it to EVERYONE...
leftcoastheel
Footballguy
I would not. And probably not over a healthy Fournette, Chubb maybe even guys like Michel.
I just think Brees is firing on all cylinders and that offense involves a TON of scorers.
Maybe I am just jaded, because I have him on five FFPC playoff teams, and this week screwed me in Round 1 of the playoffs.

Wk 12 vs ATL: 98 yards from scrimmage (yfs), 0 TDs
Wk 11 vs PHIL: 108 yfs, 1 TD
Wk 10 @ CIN: 102 yfs, 2 TDs
WK 9 vs LAR: 116 yfs, 3 TDs
Wk 8 @ MIN: 76 yfs, 2 TDs
Wk 7 @ BAL: 75 yfs, 1 TD
Gordon and Hunt are pretty much even with Kamara, statistically. Elliot and Barkley are better with yards than Kamara, Hunt, and Gordon, but behind in TDs.
All of them are looking up at Todd Gurley, of course. But even Gurley just had a 94-yfs/0 TD game last Monday night. It happens.

Good info and certainly correct... however, you need to normalize Kamara's stats for his 4 pre-Ingram games when he was a total beast when comping to other highend RBs...
The problem IMO is Ingram and Brees spreading targets. Last two games he was an RB2. We will see what happens going forward... I just hope he doesn't cost me the first round of the FFPC playoffs and comes back in beast-mode to finish out the season!

Problem with Kamara lately is simple, Saints are so dominant you end up relying on garbage time for RB1 numbers.
Garbage time is not a reliable source of fantasy points.
Upside is that the most unappreciated weakness in the Saints game is that they are so much better at home than they are away. Next three games are away.
Im not worried yet.

I get what you're saying but a lot of times they get up due to Kamara putting up big FF points early. It's rare the Saints get up a ton without Kamara being part of it.

Chubb over Kamara? Now you’re just overreacting to the present. This has happened after each mediocre game he has had and then it’s all silence when he puts up 50.
leftcoastheel
Footballguy
Kamara is not gonna put up 50+ again.
And yes, I like young, fast, strong featured backs in offenses that have limited competition for WR options.
jtp1982

He can do it in the Dome too, they’d just need to play your Rams every week.
Thanks in large part to the D stepping up the Saints at home can beat any team in the NFL right now, Saints away barely beat my middle of the road Ravens (looking at you Tucker).

Two questions: is Ingram out of here next year? And, how long do people think Brees plays? If he wins the title this year, does he retire? These questions help me determine Kamara's value in a keeper league moving forward.
jtp1982
Footballguy
Ingram is free agent next year. It’s the Kamara show
I don’t think Brees retires for 2-3 more years
