2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Saints offense didn't thrive in Derek Carr's first year as starting quarterback, but Kamara's fantasy investors had no qualms with the arrangement thanks to 75 receptions in 13 games. For the third year in a row, Kamara's efficiency as a ballcarrier remained far below the standard set in the first four seasons of his career, when he averaged at least 4.6 YPC. He's produced 4.0 YPC or less three years in a row now, and the touchdowns have dried up too (11 rushing TDs in the last three years, 43 in the first four). Efficiency figures to remain a challenge given Carr's limitations and the Saints' shaky offensive tackles, but Kamara should still have the sort of usage that pays off in fantasy football as long as he can hold off 2023 third-round pick Kendre Miller. Neither Miller nor Jamaal Williams put much of a dent in Kamara's workload last year, but it is possible the Saints take a little more off their lead back's plate in his age-29 season.

Reports for training camp
Kamara, who skipped the final day of minicamp back in June, is present for training camp Tuesday, Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras of NOLA.com report.
ANALYSIS
Kamara skipped the final day of June's mandatory minicamp due to apparent dissatisfaction with his current contract, but he won't risk incurring fines by skipping training camp. The veteran running back, who turns 29 this Thursday, is effectively heading into the final year of his contract, as there's little conceivable scenario wherein the Saints take on the $29 million cap hit he's due in 2025. Kamara has now put together three straight seasons with a 4.0 or worse YPC mark, but he's kept his fantasy value afloat via work in the receiving game, having tallied 75 receptions through just 13 games last year. He again projects for a high-usage role in 2024, with Kendre Miller and Jamaal Williams behind him on the depth chart.

It's difficult to tell whether Kamara lost something the last two years or if the Saints offense simply got worse in a way that would drag down any running back. If it's the first thing then there's nothing to be done, but if it's the second there could be hope for a Kamara resurgence with the arrival of Derek Carr at quarterback. Mediocre he may be, but Carr should be a notable upgrade all the same relative to Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton, Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian. Crucially, while Kamara's rushing efficiency (and target volume) fell off with the addition of more carries the last two years, his receiving stats remained efficient. He isn't at his best in the type of run-first offense he played in last year, and the Saints' struggles gave him less space to work with than in the past. Still, it's understandable to have some anxiety about Kamara's abilities heading into his age-28 season. Even if he revives his receiving production and/or rushing explosiveness, there's concern he'll lose a lot of carries to Jamaal Williams (especially at the goal line, where Taysom Hill is also a factor) and/or rookie third-round pick Kendre Miller. The other backs will undoubtedly have their chances to make an impression, as Kamara is suspended for the first three games of the season and won't debut until Week 4 (Oct. 1).

Skips practice in contract protest
Kamara was absent from the final practice of the Saints' mandatory minicamp Thursday due to a contract-related dispute, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kamara's agent Brad Cicala confirmed to NFL Network that the running back's absence was indeed related to his contract, a five-year, $77 million deal he signed in September 2020 that has two seasons remaining. Kamara did attend the first two practices of minicamp and was at Thursday's walk-through session before heading into the team facility ahead of the day's on-field work. Head coach Dennis Allen had no post-practice updates for the media since he had yet to speak to the veteran running back.
