New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara ran the ball seven times for 23 yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4. Kamara also caught five passes (on seven targets) for 35 yards.

Why It Matters: Although the Saints intended to have Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) as their lead back, they'll need to navigate at least the next three weeks with Kamara in the top role supported by Kendre Miller. Kamara, who checked out of the game with a lower body injury but returned, made the most of his opportunities on Monday night as he turned a dozen touches into 58 yards and two TDs. The veteran has enough juice to function as an RB3/flex, at least until Etienne returns.
