Draft note

by John Paulsen

Michael Thomas’s injury is probably good news for Kamara, who has insane splits in games that Thomas has missed. Over the past two seasons, in eight games without Thomas, Kamara has averaged 20.5 touches for 148 total yards and 1.51 touchdowns per game. That works out to 27.3 PPG (half-PPR), or No. 1 RB-type numbers. Even if his touchdowns regress to with-Thomas levels, he still would have scored 23.0 PPG. Kamara owners should probably be rooting for Jameis Winston to win the job since Kamara’s numbers dipped when Drew Brees was sidelined over the last two seasons.

Saints RB Tony Jones Jr. (ankle) to miss 3-4 weeks

Pro Football Talk

Oct 05 · 6:30 PM EDT

Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. needed a cart to get back to the locker room after going down during Sunday’s loss to the Giants and he’s set to miss more time as a result of his ankle injury.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jones is expected to miss three or four weeks while he recovers from the injury.

Related players: Alvin Kamara, Dwayne Washington

Fantasy Impact:

The story said that timeframe suggests a stop on the injured reserve is in his future and his roster spot could go to one of the backs that the Saints worked out on Tuesday. Washington likely moves up to the RB2 spot behind Kamara while any newly signed back should get the RB3 role.

NO RB Alvin Kamara - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Washington

With Tony Jones Jr. suffering an ankle injury that will sideline him for a few weeks, this is almost100 percent Alvin Kamara's backfield for the time being. He saw 26 carries in the overtime loss against the Giants for 120 yards. He did lose out on a couple of rushing touchdowns to Taysom Hill, but that isn't too much to worry about for Kamara. Really, Hill is taking those touchdowns from Jameis Winston, almost canceling out the quarterbacks for fantasy purposes. Kamara is our No. 2 RB this week against a middle-of-the-road Washington rush defense.
