bmeadows 4 Posted September 6, 2020 I was surprised he fell to the eighth spot I my draft yesterday. It’s a 12 team ppr. I’ve heard a little Injury news and contract issues. What are y’all thoughts on him? I’m a tad bit worried I made a mistake and this could hinder me all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makindollaz 40 Posted September 6, 2020 Between the 20’s, I’d put Kamara up there with CMC & Barkley for PPR. I believe the drop off is how Payton uses him (or doesn’t) in the red zone. Murray can be a TD vulture, and Payton also has a man-crush on Taysom Hill near the goal line. Has hurt Brees some the last couple of years as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,653 Posted September 6, 2020 Hes probably fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted September 6, 2020 He's basically a quasi WR. In non PPR I could see him going there. PPR highly unlikely. In auction we always have a player or two that drops way down that nobody saw happening. The problem with Saints is that damn QB/RB. He pickpockets a TD, or 3-4 runs a game. Frustrating cause without him that's Kamara. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serenity Now 44 Posted September 6, 2020 He had injury problems last year and an epidural recently. He is no longer red flag free to me and has a capable back up who could take red zone work. I think the fall in adp is warranted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Football Guru 214 Posted September 6, 2020 Check this link out guys ... the doctors go through six key players, including Kamara. https://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/5/8/3/5839749d276b7c64/Betz2.mp3?c_id=82867964&cs_id=82867964&expiration=1599415275&hwt=96c1c92ed2909e0d3c4fa2497d462a52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmeadows 4 Posted September 6, 2020 Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get Lat Murray. Trying to trade for him now just as insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yupper 6 Posted September 7, 2020 I’m in the same boat. Kamara fell to me at the 10 spot in a 10 team .5ppr. I’m also nervous about his outcome. I think if he gets a new contract before Thursday then the Saints feel he’s all good. If not then I think he plays out the season and hits FA. His injuries are very concerning though.

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted September 7, 2020 I took him at 7 in one league. In my other 3 he went 7,6,4 10 is a fine place to pick him in PPR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted September 7, 2020 Same thing is happening to him that happened to Marshall Faulk. Exceptional overused talent. Crazy because Payton drafted him because he thought he looked like Marshall Faulk who's career ended because they abused him. There was no reason to do that with Latavius and Taysom Hill but he did it anyway. Coach said he's not doing that anymore but we will see. They won all those game with Latavius and no Brees but that went right back to abusing Kamara. In the Playoffs Lativius rode the pine which was stupid. Dude was a bowling ball running b/t the tackles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmeadows 4 Posted September 7, 2020 Luckily I was able to trade for Lat Murray but I had to give up Noah Fant. I still have Gronkowski though. I feel good about it knowing whatever happens I’m covered on Kamara. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmeadows 4 Posted September 10, 2020 Is anyone wondering why this contract is taking so long? Everyone is getting signed. Smoke = Fire. Maybe Kamara is hurt or they plan on trying him after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted September 10, 2020 Still no deal. I can't see how the SAINTS who's going to be in rebuild mode potentially after this season is going to shell out 13-14 million for a running back. The trade rumors are probably true. I won't be surprise if they run him to the ground and cut ties after this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
