Will Alvin Kamara and JK Dobbins be back in the fold for NFL Week 3 action?
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh called Dobbins “week to week” on Tuesday as the running back continues his recovery from an ACL injury. The general belief at this point is that the Ravens are going to take their time before easing Dobbins back into action.
As for Kamara? There’s some reason for optimism that he’ll suit up against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
According to Saints beat writer Mike Triplett, Kamara took part in practice on Wednesday with hopes to suit up this weekend.
Alvin Kamara Fantasy Football Ranking
Given the recent optimism surrounding Kamara’s chances of playing, we have him ranked as the No. 10 running back on our Stokastic NFL Start/Sit Fantasy Football Rankings this week.
Kamara suffered a rib issue during Week 1, but Saints head coach Dennis Allen didn’t sound too concerned about the injury at the time.
“I think he’s going to be fine,” Allen said.
Allen added that the Saints were holding out hope that Kamara would be able to play in their upcoming game against the Buccaneers. They eventually ruled him out just moments before kickoff. The Saints lost to the Bucs 20-10.
Now, it looks like Kamara is back to being fully healthy and nearly ready to take on a full workload again for the Saints.
They’re hoping he can provide a spark to their offense. New Orleans consistently struggled to move the ball, putting up just 10 points against a stout Buccaneers defense last Sunday.
