Alvin Kamara carries no fantasy rank heading into Week 1

Summary

Alvin Kamara enters the first week of the NFL season without a position rank from the Pro Football Network consensus board. The 31-year-old running back has spent the summer dealing with a lingering knee injury, leading to missed practice time. Travis Etienne has established himself as the primary back in the offense, a role that remains unchanged entering the start of the regular season. Kamara has not recorded a run of more than 30 yards since 2020. Fantasy managers are advised to look for alternatives on their rosters due to his status as a reserve back with limited recent production.
