By the looks of it, Saints RB Alvin Kamara's fumble took place with 4:06 left in the third quarter and he only received one snap after that, the 4th-and-4 interception. I asked Kellen Moore if there was intent behind the lack of snaps after the fumble:

"We were just trying to get things going. Alvin's a big part of this thing. It's unfortunate we had a turnover there. They won the [turnover] battle 2-0."

Kamara has been the subject of trade rumors with the deadline approaching, but has also been public with not wanting to leave the Saints. Kamara still led the Saints in carries but only had six for 14 yards, and added one catch for three yards. Neal had three rushes for 11 yards and also added one catch for just one yard. The Saints are looking to see what they have for the future, which seemingly isn't great news for Kamara owners, especially if he really doesn't want to be traded.

The future is now in New Orleans, with the Saints making rookie QB Tyler Shough their starter.

Spencer Rattler now heads to the bench, while the second-rounder moves to the forefront in a decision coach Kellen Moore informed them of today.

The stats say Shough was worse than Rattler last week against the Bucs after taking over, but the Saints are making the switch. With the Saints not going anywhere, it makes sense for the team to see what they have with their second round pick from this past spring. Reports out of camp from spring and summer from some who follow the team said the competition wasn't really close, and Rattler was the better option. Now the question becomes how does this decision affect some of the other weapons on the team. It's probably at least a slight downgrade until we see otherwise.

As the post went on to say, it's a tough blow for Miller, who was starting to carve out a role in the offense with 193 rushing yards and 1 TD on the year. Neal is likely next up behind Kamara, but Neal has just three carries on the season as a rookie this year. The Saints will most likely have to make a move for another running back. Miller was averaging over seven touches a game.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara has been the subject of trade calls, but his stance was made clear — He doesn’t want to go anywhere.

Beat writer Nick Underhill reposted Rapoport's report and confirmed Kamara is the kind of guy who wants to give everything to one city. However, it doesn't mean for the right price the Saints wouldn't move on from Kamara as they need assets going forward to become more of a contending team. This could be a situation to watch if you're a Kamara owner. A move to a contending team could increase fantasy value, but could also come with less of a workload.

On Monday, the Saints released Cam Akers and with the release of CEH today it leaves Kamara, Miller and Neal as their top three backs.

The New Orleans Saints released veteran running back Cam Akers, the Saints announced Monday.

This news is really about who is still remaining to possibly claim the RB2 spot behind Kamara. Miller and veteran Edwards-Helaire still remain as does the rookie Neal, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury this summer. Miller is just 23-years-old while CEH is 26, and it's looking like it could be one of the two with Neal likely behind. The RB2 will also steal some carries as well, so this is a situation to monitor if you own, or plan to own, Kamara on your fantasy roster.

Kellen Moore says that Saints rookie RB Devin Neal will miss “a couple weeks” with a hamstring injury.

Neal was hoping to earn the team's RB2 role behind Kamara, but missing that much time likely will cost him that job for now. Miller looks to be the favorite, but he'll need to fend off some familiar names in Akers and CEH.

We haven't seen specifics yet, but this could be as little of a role as a camp body. This has no effect on Kamara's workload and would make him an even easier grab if his ADP somehow drops further because of this.

Saints ruled out RB Alvin Kamara and QB Derek Carr for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders.

Related Players: Kendre Miller, Jamaal Williams, Jordan Mims

Miller had an awful showing in his first "full-time" outing (8 rushes, 15 yards), so he'll look to turn things around here against the Raiders. Consider him in the RB30-35 range for Week 17.

The Saints ruled out QB Derek Carr and RB Alvin Kamara for Week 16 against the Packers.

Carr is still dealing with his hand injury while Kamara is dealing with a groin injury that is considered week-to-week. The Saints could choose to let Kamara rest for the remainder of the season but they have yet to place him on injured reserve. Kendre Miller will get the start and is an RB2 this week against the Packers.

Spencer Rattler will get the start at quarterback. It's unlikely Carr will return this season with the season all but lost at 5-9. Rattler is not a reliable fantasy option this week, though he did show more upside than Jake Haener in Week 15.
