Despite practicing in a limited basis leading up to Week 13, Kamara was ruled out of Thursday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. Now, fantasy managers are eager to see if Kamara can make his return in Week 14 against awful New York Jets defense.
Alvin Kamara Fantasy Outlook
Kamara is in line for a huge week if he's able to find the field on Sunday. New York ranks 30th in Football Outsiders' rush-defense DVOA metric, allowing a league-worst 35.62 PPR points per week to opposing running backs.
It's clear that Kamara has the potential to outscore every fantasy RB each and every week, as evidenced by his 19.8 average PPR points (4th).
He tallies an impressive 24.3 opportunities (19 rush attempts, 5.3 targets) in 7 starts, and puts up 68.6 rushing yards, 4 receptions, 36.6 receiving yards and 6 total touchdowns in 2021.
The Duel has Kamara listed as RB2 (if he suits up) in our Week 14 PPR positional rankings.
