Saints' Kamara Out Multi-Weeks With Sprained MCL

New Orleans Saints' star running back Alvin Kamara sustained a sprained MCL in his knee during Sunday's loss to the Falcons. This injury is expected to require a multi-week recovery timeline, significantly impacting the team's backfield.

Kamara was only on the field for 11 offensive snaps before his departure. Following his exit, rookie Devin Neal assumed a more prominent role, carrying the ball seven times for 18 yards and catching five passes for 43 yards. Taysom Hill also became more involved in the running game.

Given Kamara's absence, Neal is positioned as a top waiver-wire addition for Week 13. His fantasy football value is expected to rise considerably as he steps into a larger role for the Saints' upcoming game against the Dolphins.
