Devin Neal

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday s game vs. the Buccaneers. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. RB Devin Neal played 81% of New Orleans offensive snaps last week, handling 14 carries and three targets. He s a volume-based-if-unexciting Week 14 fantasy start.

Kamara didn't practice all week, so it's hard to say he's any closer to returning to the field in Week 15 either. Devin Neal will handle the majority of the snaps and be a weaker FLEX play against a good Buccaneers run defense.

Neal is expected to lead the Saints' backfield Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out.

It sure looks like rookie RB Devin Neal will start for the Saints once again. Kamara has not practiced since spraining an MCL in Week 12 against the Falcons. The team chose not to put Kamara on injured reserve, so we expect him to return either in Week 15 or Week 16. Stay tuned.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy owners should not be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers. Rookie RB Devin Neal got workhorse usage with Kamara out last week and will be a serviceable-if-unexciting fantasy start if Kamara remains out this Sunday.
