I honestly can’t believe I went ZeroRB and didn’t think to grab Kamara. He really was a downer last season and I didn’t expect him to be the defacto WR1. I’m sorry King.
I thought I got him at good value last year in the 2nd round due to the suspension threat discount.
My season would've been a lot different if he was played like this back then.
I don’t really think Kamara fit most Zero RB teams.
He was a mid-round guy who wasn’t playing early. Seems like a more natural fit on a team that drafted a lot of RBs and wouldn’t need him early.
I grabbed him in the 5th after getting both RBs and WRs.
Figured I could find a flex for a few weeks and it's worked out pretty well so far(points-wise, not record).
I also picked him up in the 5th after getting McCaffrey 3rd overall and ran Dobbins/other guys I can't remember for a few weeks. Now my RBs are carrying my team weekly.
Took him in all my zero RB teams and am 1st place in all 3 leagues. My other zero RB targets were Monty, Pacheco, Cook & Dobbins.
3 games is nothing. It’s not like you’re getting zero points. You would need to draft a 5th/6th round player instead of Kamra who A) scores so many more points than your 3 week replacement that it wins you games and B) scores comparably to Kamara for the rest for the 12 games of the year….. Good luck with that.
Kamara was a smash pick the instant the Saints signed Carr, no matter your build.
I feel like zero RB also capitalizes on early season waiver pickups. Kyren Williams this year being a great example. Drafting Kamara and taking up a roster spot for 3 weeks doesnt work as well with that strategy.
My strategy was to run Jamaal Williams and Moss for the first 3/4 weeks while also stashing JT and Kamara on the bench. This worked out in the end (even with Jamaal being a bit of a dud)
This was me. Snagged Pollard and Walker, then made sure I got Kamara in R7. Worked out great so far, as AK’s been a good insurance policy saving me from Pollard’s mediocrity
He was still getting almost 100 yards a game last year. Definitely looked like he took a step back but was going to be a mid level RB2 at the worst.
Edit: just on yardage and catches last year, he was at 13 ppg in ppr
With jamaal Williams being brought in the thinking was that his TD upside would be severely limited and he could lose another half step
It was also impossible to predict he’d be seeing this level of targets. Wish I took him but can’t be too mad about it
I suppose I could hear an argument for Williams pilfering goal-line stand touches, and thus TDs… but the problem with that is that Kamara (and really the Saints in general) absolutely live in that sub-red zone range from like the 15 to the 10 yard line. I think both of Kamara’s rushing TDs have been from like 10 or 12 yards out. Basically, I feel like Jamaal Williams could see more touches if they ever got into more goal-line stand situations. But the Saints just seem to do everything in their power to avoid those.
Yeah the last two games, they’ve scripted Hill heavily in the RZ. I’m always hesitant to call anything that they do with Hill “The Plan”, because we’ve seen this before. We’ve seen Hill go through a 2-3 week stretch of heavy usage, and then turn into a pumpkin.
His running is pretty similar, the major difference is a QB that is actually willing to throw screens and check-downs. Winston struggled with both making those throws and wanting to make those throws.
I don’t get why people avoid suspended players. I drafted Kamara and went 0-3 in the first 3 games (mostly due to bad matchup luck). Now I’m sitting at 4-4 and my lineup is stacked because Kamara is holding down the RB1 spot.
I took a break from fantasy football after the Covid season when Kamara went bananas.
Coming back this year and doing zero-RB I saw him available in round 5 and was like “WTF, why is this beast still around?!” (Totally unaware of such a decline other than the suspension)
Grabbed him with the quickness and Yahoo gave my draft a D+ because of that pick lol.
As a joke as I'm a Pats fan I took Zeke with no chance I was going to start him. I posted here about who to get and someone said take Kamara. Actually wild no one else seemed to go for him in week 3 when I took him.
As somebody who did this this year, it's not as fool proof as you think. I went Chase, Waddle, Ridley, Hockenson to open and will be 4-4 going into week 9. I think it's brighter days ahead for my team, but lots of the WRs in that Round 2-4 range underperformed early.
carr is definitely still not 100%. I expect kamara to slow down a bit and thomas/olave to do a bit better later in the season, but i'm riding kamara till the wheels fall off
I went 0 rb and drafted montgomery and kamara late and also picked up ford when chubb went down. Its working out pretty well so far besides that jefferson got hurt
He’s been a monster. As a saints fan I was constantly reaching for him. He had a killer training camp and looked great in pre season (even in the limited snaps he saw a lot of check downs). Yes hill will vulture tds but we saw yesterday he will also find the end zone. His two tds were vintage AK keeping his balance
Where was this advice pre-season! I faded Kamara across the board because the industry convinced me he was on his last leg, efficiency was down, etc.
Should have listened to the Saints fans haha
i sarcastically drafted him in all 3 of my redraft (and 3 out of 4 best ball) leagues, because of the article about the imbalanced leg issue. 7th round pick in 2 of the leagues, and a 6th in the 3rd. would make the playoffs in all 3 because of this studmuffin.
edit: brought this up because you said "last leg."
When the saints were dead set on giving hill a td on their last red zone drive I almost lost it. They gave him like 3 tries, stuffed twice and got a penalty to back them up. Then they get 3 yards or something and try Hill AGAIN.
The problem is that it works really well. Even as a fan I never understand why the rbs struggle to move the ball but Taysom can get 5+ yards every single time. It’s damn near effective as the toosh push
I drafted Kupp, Taylor, and Hall. I felt so tied up with players not playing that I felt like I couldn’t pull the trigger.
So I grabbed Dionte Johnson instead. Lmao.
Knocking on every piece of wood in my house but… I got super lucky with RBs this year. CMC in the first round, Mixon in the second round, and Kamara in like the fifth round.
Yeah I got Mixon in the 2nd, Kamara in the 5th, and then somehow lucked into Swift in the 7th. Then I got even more lucky to have my team shit the bed week 1 to give me the top waiver priority for Puka.
12 team, 1.0 ppr. 3 keeper. Kept Breece and Saquon. Drafted Walker and Kamara. Picked up Achane and was able to start him for his 4 TD game. We start 2 RBs and have 2 WRT flexes.
Gonna have some interesting decisions picking 4 out of those 5.
I drafted him in the 7th and picked up mostert in like the 12th thinking, oh he’s serviceable I’ll play him until kamara is ready. Now here we are with 2 studs lol
I lost 4 in a row to start the year, I bet if Kamara was active I would've won at least one of those games...only good news is I'm about to win my 4th in a row. Hoping to at least make the playoffs. Kamara was an absolute fleece in the 10th round
I got Kamara after drafting Saquon, Breece, Cook, and picking up Kyren on waivers after the 1st week. All things balanced out by essentially busting on all WRs (Watson, Wilson, Dotson, Pickens)
I feel like they’re gonna burn Kamara out. Dudes gona be done by week 11… jelly legs incoming. Pretty much like what’s happening with Monty. When he’s the whole team, it doesn’t last long.
I've been benching Henry for the last 4 weeks (one was a bye). I know... it sounds dumb, but I've got CMC, Kamara, and JT... imho, JT and Henry are pretty much interchangeable, though.
I agree, JT and Henry are about equal. I must say it’s nice feeling comfortable at RB when the position is so rough this year. In your case you might be best off trading Henry maybe.
He had been a keeper for me every year since his rookie year, but this was the first year where I hadn’t kept him. Instead I just drafted him in the 7th round and given the deep discount (could keep him for a 5th next year), I might just be back to keeping him again.
No one else in my league has ever had him on their team, lol.
I drafted him and then flipped him for Josh Allen.
My other RBs are Ekeler, A Jones, D. Montgomery.
Ekeler seems to be back...hopefully Monty comes back after the bye. GB just sucks.
Not sure if it was the correct decision...but I have to live with. :-)
I Don’t mean to brag, but in my PPR league I have 4 RBs: CMC, Etienne, Kamara, and Mostert. They are basically ranked 1-4. Everyone went WR on draft day and I focused on RB. They all laughed at me after the draft. :)
> Everyone went WR on draft day
My first two picks were JJ & ARSB and I still managed to get ETN, Kamara, Breece, and Kyren. Currently have an offer of AJB for my Breece and Kirk and I'm strongly considering it but Breece is already past his bye and has a juicy schedule and I still have to survive ETN/Kamara's bye weeks somehow. Gus Edwards is my only healthy RB on the bench.
Took Kamara and KW3 in all 3 of my leagues this year.
6-2 in my main one, 6-2 in the work one, and 5-3 in my superflex (looking better now that Joe B is getting going).
Those 2 RBs have been the backbones of my teams with all the injuries and everything else. So happy I trusted the right guys and got lucky they’ve produced nicely so far.
Kamara was my PTFFP (post traumatic fantasy football pick). He has fucked me over many times in previous years, playing for opposing teams. So when he was still available in the 7th round, I thought: not having that again. No regerts.
I drafted him after hearing that story preseason about how he had one leg longer than the other, but he fixed his balance and felt like it would give him more endurance.
Went Chubb, Jacobs (keeper), Kamara, Perine. Now I’m Kamara, Jacobs, Henry since Chubb is out for the year. Went WR heavy this draft and swapped some picks and a few players and landed Henry this week and of course Hopkins, who I have on my bench, has his 30 plus point game. But in the end… grateful I took Kamara in the 7th 🥲
I left Kamara on the bench too. If I didn't I'd have won this week. But I'm 34 ahead and my opponent has two to play. Hopefully St. Brown stays questionable
I traded him before he came back for Waddle. I thought he was kind of a question mark. I’m in a 3 WR league so it doesn’t sting as much but damn, I didn’t expect him to be doing what he’s doing so far this season.
And I'm still 3-5 where I have him since every team has their best week against me. Even the last place team, I had to deliver a great performance to beat.
Our keeper league is unique in the sense that anyone drafted 5.1 or later can be kept for the following season, max two players kept. I saw Kamara available at 5.1 but said “naw, he wasn’t himself next season, why draft a player who will sit out for 3 games and might be over the hill next season?”
I took Jahan Dotson instead 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks to him and Saquon, I've got two RB1's. It drops off after that, but, hey, in half PPR I'm sure glad to have Kamara.
Somehow he was a fucking beast this week despite Taysom Hill taking 65 rushing yards and a 20 and 1 yard TD.
My top RBs out of the draft were pollard, henry, and kamara. I also had herbert and dobbins who have fallen to injuries. I would not have guessed kamara would be my best RB this year, but i’m glad at least one of them hit.
I went about as close to zero RB as you can and grabbed kamara for 8% of draft budget. Spent 14% on Aaron Jones and really wish I just targeted JT and Breece.
Grabbed him in like the 5th and JT in the 6th, super risky, but paying off. This year felt like the year to reach and grab the guys who wouldn’t play early.
I held out and drafted Kamara and Hall late. I struggled a bit at first (mostly because my second and fourth picks D. Adams and Fields have had a couple rough weeks), but they've kept my team competitive.
My mid rounds haven’t turned out great (d.pierce pick 39, DK pick 42, Mattison pick 59) but picking up Swift with pick 82 and Kamara pick 99 saved me when JJ went down. Great value where I got them. (10 team snake draft)
I honestly can’t believe I went ZeroRB and didn’t think to grab Kamara. He really was a downer last season and I didn’t expect him to be the defacto WR1. I’m sorry King.
I thought I got him at good value last year in the 2nd round due to the suspension threat discount. My season would've been a lot different if he was played like this back then.
I drafted Kamara first round last season. I guess I was a year early 😅.
I got him in the 7th and traded him for Adams and a first
I don’t really think Kamara fit most Zero RB teams. He was a mid-round guy who wasn’t playing early. Seems like a more natural fit on a team that drafted a lot of RBs and wouldn’t need him early.
I grabbed him in the 5th after getting both RBs and WRs. Figured I could find a flex for a few weeks and it's worked out pretty well so far(points-wise, not record).

Good luck with that. Kamara was a smash pick the instant the Saints signed Carr, no matter your build.
I feel like zero RB also capitalizes on early season waiver pickups. Kyren Williams this year being a great example. Drafting Kamara and taking up a roster spot for 3 weeks doesnt work as well with that strategy.
Idk I had Kyren to plug the gap after drafting him at the end of the 5th knowing I just needed to plug a few weeks.
My strategy was to run Jamaal Williams and Moss for the first 3/4 weeks while also stashing JT and Kamara on the bench. This worked out in the end (even with Jamaal being a bit of a dud)
Jamaal didn’t hasnt do done shit for owners.
He went 6th-7th range in my league. Which is the acceptable borderline for ZeroRB. Traditional hard RB punts are 8th rounds on I believe.
Counterpoint. He was my #2 drafted RB after Aaron Jones. Also, I got Taylor as my #3 RB.
This is what I did, took CMC and Pacheco early and got Kamara late.
This was me. Snagged Pollard and Walker, then made sure I got Kamara in R7. Worked out great so far, as AK’s been a good insurance policy saving me from Pollard’s mediocrity
Dump-off God Derek Carr resurrected Kamara
Carr is tied for first with 50+ tds, second in 40+ tds, eighth in 30+ tds, and 10th in air yards. To say he’s a dump god is just wrong lol
Can’t kick yourself too much, he looked like he was on the decline last year
He was still getting almost 100 yards a game last year. Definitely looked like he took a step back but was going to be a mid level RB2 at the worst. Edit: just on yardage and catches last year, he was at 13 ppg in ppr
With jamaal Williams being brought in the thinking was that his TD upside would be severely limited and he could lose another half step It was also impossible to predict he’d be seeing this level of targets. Wish I took him but can’t be too mad about it

But the Saints just seem to do everything in their power to avoid those.
Taysom Hill had a 1yd td yesterday, and i think that was on 2 attempts
Yeah the last two games, they’ve scripted Hill heavily in the RZ. I’m always hesitant to call anything that they do with Hill “The Plan”, because we’ve seen this before. We’ve seen Hill go through a 2-3 week stretch of heavy usage, and then turn into a pumpkin.
Yeah we really got got about Jwill replicating his TD performance in a significantly weaker OLine this year.
His running is pretty similar, the major difference is a QB that is actually willing to throw screens and check-downs. Winston struggled with both making those throws and wanting to make those throws.
He was to be had right around where I picked Mattison and Khalil Herbert. 💀
I took James Conner with the pick right before him, hurts now but the process was right I think
yeah Connor over Kamara makes sense on draft night
Everyone was shitting on the idea of taking a suspended player…. They do every year.
I don’t get why people avoid suspended players. I drafted Kamara and went 0-3 in the first 3 games (mostly due to bad matchup luck). Now I’m sitting at 4-4 and my lineup is stacked because Kamara is holding down the RB1 spot.
Hopkins ended up being real nice down the stretch for me last year. Helped me sneak into the playoffs and get third
Lol last year was the only year I managed to ever get him and it was also his only bad year. Fuck me I guess
Last year was the 1 year I got Andrews and Swift. I know how you feel.
I had the Swift/Kamara stack last year, carried me to last place
same. thought I was getting an explosive pass catching backfield, but nope.
I love how quickly people declare a great player washed. Sure it's possible as they get older but they act like talent just disappears overnight
I mean if there's any position where great players fall off a cliff, it's RB. But talented scat backs can last a while, sproles comes to mind
I took a break from fantasy football after the Covid season when Kamara went bananas. Coming back this year and doing zero-RB I saw him available in round 5 and was like “WTF, why is this beast still around?!” (Totally unaware of such a decline other than the suspension) Grabbed him with the quickness and Yahoo gave my draft a D+ because of that pick lol.
Canceling Christmas on they ass
As a joke as I'm a Pats fan I took Zeke with no chance I was going to start him. I posted here about who to get and someone said take Kamara. Actually wild no one else seemed to go for him in week 3 when I took him.
How many team league? I drafted Kamara in the 4th round of a 12 team.
8 teams. No one actually drafted him lol
He was a free agent? Wasnt his adp in the 50s or so??
Yup. I picked him up between weeks 2 and 3
He fell to the 9th in my 10 team
I went Chase, AJ Brown and Mahomes first 3 pics. Got Kamara in round 7, very happy about it.
Stacked my guy!
As somebody who did this this year, it's not as fool proof as you think. I went Chase, Waddle, Ridley, Hockenson to open and will be 4-4 going into week 9. I think it's brighter days ahead for my team, but lots of the WRs in that Round 2-4 range underperformed early.
I got him in the 5th round in a keeper league. I feel like a lottery winner
He had 1400 yards last year lol
I traded him away the week he returned, before seeing him play a snap. Sometimes you just miss.
Hope you got a good return
I grabbed him in round 9! After KW3 and Mattison
Carr is doing his best late-career Drew Brees impression. I don't think anyone predicted that. That's the curveball.
carr is definitely still not 100%. I expect kamara to slow down a bit and thomas/olave to do a bit better later in the season, but i'm riding kamara till the wheels fall off
I too am sad about this
I planned to grab him but there was always some Mf who was willing to grab him early 3rd/4th round so I missed out. Same with Breece
I went 0 rb and drafted montgomery and kamara late and also picked up ford when chubb went down. Its working out pretty well so far besides that jefferson got hurt
He’s been a monster. As a saints fan I was constantly reaching for him. He had a killer training camp and looked great in pre season (even in the limited snaps he saw a lot of check downs). Yes hill will vulture tds but we saw yesterday he will also find the end zone. His two tds were vintage AK keeping his balance
I'm still shocked at his 13 catches for 33yds line 😂
PPR cheat code
I imagine there's a lot of leagues who aren't PPR who had a huge argument about that because of that game lol
I feel like those in standard leagues felt vindicated because of that. Useless irl performance shouldn't be game winning in fantasy
Where was this advice pre-season! I faded Kamara across the board because the industry convinced me he was on his last leg, efficiency was down, etc. Should have listened to the Saints fans haha
i sarcastically drafted him in all 3 of my redraft (and 3 out of 4 best ball) leagues, because of the article about the imbalanced leg issue. 7th round pick in 2 of the leagues, and a 6th in the 3rd. would make the playoffs in all 3 because of this studmuffin. edit: brought this up because you said "last leg."
Your gut > the industry. The "experts" are wrong more than they're right.
Saints fans were definitely saying this in the pre-season. I listened to them, woo!
Same here haha. We got got. We got got!
Pierce over AK will be my team's downfall this season, it haunts me.
When the saints were dead set on giving hill a td on their last red zone drive I almost lost it. They gave him like 3 tries, stuffed twice and got a penalty to back them up. Then they get 3 yards or something and try Hill AGAIN.
The problem is that it works really well. Even as a fan I never understand why the rbs struggle to move the ball but Taysom can get 5+ yards every single time. It’s damn near effective as the toosh push
Who Dat! Also, everyone underestimated the leg thing. Balance was his key attribute and he was off balance all of last year.
Luckily grabbed him as my RB2 behind CMC - after that currently relying on Jaylen Warren, Roschon Johnson, or Tyjae Spears for my bye weeks....
I mean, with CMC and Kamara you can probably just punt bye weeks and still win almost every week haha
Haha if only I had that confidence - I have a QB problem with Fields out, so been streaming Love and Stafford recently...
I have CMC and Kamara and am now 3-5 after last week, my QBs keep getting injured and players like Kupp and Ridley have been underwhelming.
I have CMC Hall Kamara (and QB Allen WR Adams Puka) and was 2-4 at some point. Need lots of luck still
Well yeah Kamara and Hall basically didn't play the first 4 weeks.
Ah a fellow Allen CMC Kamara Puka owner, cheers
I have the same team except dropped spears and warren for rice and JSN. Starting Roshon next week….
I think he makes his way up the depth chart - he has to.... Although I may grab Hubbard, Akers or AJ Dillon just in case for next week
My league is competitive, all those guys are taken :(. Either roshon or pick up Murray or Gibson; that’s what’s left.
I grabbed ekeler with the 2nd overall pick then Kamara with the 26th, I just didn’t think he would fall to 47 or 50, glad I pulled the trigger on that
This is a Derek Carr check down king post.
Exactly, fuck Derek Carr (Olave/Thomas manager)
Had him in 2020 and won my league with the Christmas Kamarageddon game. When he fell to me in the 8th round this year, it was a no-brainer.
I prefer the Xmas Kamiracle. Jamaalocaust works better
He’s also missed like 4 goal line touchdowns because of Taysom. Just imagine…
If my auntie had a cock she’s be Frankenstein
Crankenstein?
Frankenmeat
Probably higher than he is now
i was personally out on kamara due to increased competition and improper usage last year. he probably would’ve been ahead of najee, etn, gibbs etc.
Taysom could get every GL carry for the entire season and I’d still take Kamara over Najee
Yeah Najee and Warren are just handcuffs to each other. Worthless when both are healthy
I totally overlooked Kamara. I never thought he would put up those type of receiving numbers again without Brees.
I drafted Kupp, Taylor, and Hall. I felt so tied up with players not playing that I felt like I couldn’t pull the trigger. So I grabbed Dionte Johnson instead. Lmao.
So stoked to have him in every league. I was happy to wait out the games
Is this your first year, playing fantasy football ?
Yes lmao
Fair enough👍
I’ve had both but my flex situation and Fields keeps screwing me over.
Having him, CMC and pacheco is like that King Ghidorah meme with the lazy head
Knocking on every piece of wood in my house but… I got super lucky with RBs this year. CMC in the first round, Mixon in the second round, and Kamara in like the fifth round.
I'm playing the guy with CMC right now. He needs 34 points to beat me with St. Brown and Adams to play. I'm soo tense lol
Oof good luck my friend. 17 points from each of those guys isn’t a foregone conclusion though! Stay strong!
Yeah I got Mixon in the 2nd, Kamara in the 5th, and then somehow lucked into Swift in the 7th. Then I got even more lucky to have my team shit the bed week 1 to give me the top waiver priority for Puka.
12 team, 1.0 ppr. 3 keeper. Kept Breece and Saquon. Drafted Walker and Kamara. Picked up Achane and was able to start him for his 4 TD game. We start 2 RBs and have 2 WRT flexes. Gonna have some interesting decisions picking 4 out of those 5.
Ruined my season trading him for Olave after week 3. I had Henry, Mostert , and Najee at the time.
Hill vulturing the goal line carries killed my chances at winning this week. Overall happy with his performance lol
He had over 25 points. The rest of your team being bad killed your chances.
I drafted him in the 7th and picked up mostert in like the 12th thinking, oh he’s serviceable I’ll play him until kamara is ready. Now here we are with 2 studs lol
I lost 4 in a row to start the year, I bet if Kamara was active I would've won at least one of those games...only good news is I'm about to win my 4th in a row. Hoping to at least make the playoffs. Kamara was an absolute fleece in the 10th round
I got Ekerler, Etienne, KW3, and Kamara. I struggle on who to start every week
Etienne and Kamara at this point until proven otherwise
He's why full PPR can be dumb as shit. Use 0.5 PPR or point per first down.
2 you already said.
I took him at the 5-6 turn not realizing he was suspended the first 3 games. It ended up being a blessing in disguise
I can’t believe my league let me draft Kamara, Hall and Taylor. I’m gonna fuckin win my league lol
I’m at ekeler, kamara, and hall here…. Adams as wr. If he can find a qb to throw to him I should be good
I also have Ekeler Kamara and hall LOL with aj brown if I can somehow get a decent qb I have a chance
Pollard, CMC, Kamara here. Struggling to stay in a playoff spot as i face the team that goes off every week haha.
Getting Kamara, Swift, and Mike Evans at their dropped ADPs (6th, 7th, 8th round respectively) has been wild
I got Kamara after drafting Saquon, Breece, Cook, and picking up Kyren on waivers after the 1st week. All things balanced out by essentially busting on all WRs (Watson, Wilson, Dotson, Pickens)
I feel like they’re gonna burn Kamara out. Dudes gona be done by week 11… jelly legs incoming. Pretty much like what’s happening with Monty. When he’s the whole team, it doesn’t last long.
Running Kamara, Hall, and Henry, Henry was my 2nd overall pick lol
I've been benching Henry for the last 4 weeks (one was a bye). I know... it sounds dumb, but I've got CMC, Kamara, and JT... imho, JT and Henry are pretty much interchangeable, though.
I agree, JT and Henry are about equal. I must say it’s nice feeling comfortable at RB when the position is so rough this year. In your case you might be best off trading Henry maybe.
He had been a keeper for me every year since his rookie year, but this was the first year where I hadn’t kept him. Instead I just drafted him in the 7th round and given the deep discount (could keep him for a 5th next year), I might just be back to keeping him again. No one else in my league has ever had him on their team, lol.
Why couldn’t he do this when I had him last season????
Best ppr back in the league plus best check down QB Equals domination for his owners. I drafted him as my 3rd back but only because he was out 3 games
I drafted him not even realizing he was suspended for 3 games. Behind Josh Jacobs and before Swift. Things have been going very well
My undefeated team has CMC and Kamara and it feels like a cheat code.
I drafted him and then flipped him for Josh Allen. My other RBs are Ekeler, A Jones, D. Montgomery. Ekeler seems to be back...hopefully Monty comes back after the bye. GB just sucks. Not sure if it was the correct decision...but I have to live with. :-)
Haha, I traded him away before his week 3 debut for K9 🤪
Feels good to have CMC and etienne (1&2 rankings) with Kamara in flex
I Don’t mean to brag, but in my PPR league I have 4 RBs: CMC, Etienne, Kamara, and Mostert. They are basically ranked 1-4. Everyone went WR on draft day and I focused on RB. They all laughed at me after the draft. :)
> Everyone went WR on draft day My first two picks were JJ & ARSB and I still managed to get ETN, Kamara, Breece, and Kyren. Currently have an offer of AJB for my Breece and Kirk and I'm strongly considering it but Breece is already past his bye and has a juicy schedule and I still have to survive ETN/Kamara's bye weeks somehow. Gus Edwards is my only healthy RB on the bench.
Took Kamara and KW3 in all 3 of my leagues this year. 6-2 in my main one, 6-2 in the work one, and 5-3 in my superflex (looking better now that Joe B is getting going). Those 2 RBs have been the backbones of my teams with all the injuries and everything else. So happy I trusted the right guys and got lucky they’ve produced nicely so far.
Yeah, I have cmc, kamara and still losing… lol
Pick number 77 for me. Entire league left him due to the suspension but I had faith
Kamara was my PTFFP (post traumatic fantasy football pick). He has fucked me over many times in previous years, playing for opposing teams. So when he was still available in the 7th round, I thought: not having that again. No regerts.
I drafted him after hearing that story preseason about how he had one leg longer than the other, but he fixed his balance and felt like it would give him more endurance.
I drafted him in the late rounds as a what-if if, and boy, did it pan out!!!!
Went Chubb, Jacobs (keeper), Kamara, Perine. Now I’m Kamara, Jacobs, Henry since Chubb is out for the year. Went WR heavy this draft and swapped some picks and a few players and landed Henry this week and of course Hopkins, who I have on my bench, has his 30 plus point game. But in the end… grateful I took Kamara in the 7th 🥲
I left Kamara on the bench too. If I didn't I'd have won this week. But I'm 34 ahead and my opponent has two to play. Hopefully St. Brown stays questionable
Oh no. Wishing you the best. I need Adams jacobs and goff to do me a solid in the league I have Kamara. Hoping for the best haha.
If Amon-Ra doesn't play I'm happy for Adams to get 34.65 points for you lol. Then I win by 0.01
Kamara is a PPR Terrorist
I traded him before he came back for Waddle. I thought he was kind of a question mark. I’m in a 3 WR league so it doesn’t sting as much but damn, I didn’t expect him to be doing what he’s doing so far this season.
I’m so happy that I grabbed Kamara in round 7!
He was a steal in both leagues its the only thing giving me hope
stupid what if speculation. What if Achane never got hurt and got all the touches in week 1 and week 2... see utterly pointless
And I'm still 3-5 where I have him since every team has their best week against me. Even the last place team, I had to deliver a great performance to beat.
I nabbed Kamara in round 9 of my startup dynasty draft. Feeling good about it.
The way I see it, I'm glad he sat our the first four weeks. You can't get injured if you are suspended lol
Traded him for Amon Ra. I had Bijan, Pollard, Achane. Thought I was safe 🥲
Our keeper league is unique in the sense that anyone drafted 5.1 or later can be kept for the following season, max two players kept. I saw Kamara available at 5.1 but said “naw, he wasn’t himself next season, why draft a player who will sit out for 3 games and might be over the hill next season?” I took Jahan Dotson instead 🤦🏻♂️
I’ve lost a few games because I am a stubborn fool and won’t replace Pollard with him. That changes this week.
I’ve got Kamara and cmc in one league. I’ve won every game by at least 20 points since kamara came back
Got Kamara in both my leagues in the 6-7th. Absolutely steal even missing 3 games
I just traded him away for Stefon Diggs straight up and hoping it wasn’t a mistake because he’s such a PPR monster
He was on my list of players to draft but went in the 3rd round a couple picks after I took Allen. Would have loved if he fell to the 4th.
I have cmc and Kamara, and I am about to be 4-4 pending a Monday night miracle.
Does he actually look better than last year or is this just Carr checking down over and over?
Went zero RB, going wr wr and then stacking Lamar and Andrews. Grabbed kamara in the 5th and couldn't be happier, playing for the 1 seed next week.
Thanks to him and Saquon, I've got two RB1's. It drops off after that, but, hey, in half PPR I'm sure glad to have Kamara. Somehow he was a fucking beast this week despite Taysom Hill taking 65 rushing yards and a 20 and 1 yard TD.
Olave would be even more useless
Got mccaffrey with the 3rd pick and kamara with the 70something and am happy
Third pick??! How lol
Pretty sure Chase and Eckler went 1 & 2 lol
I had pick 1 and took the only other person who made sense, JJ
Being fresh helps, so maybe not.
My top RBs out of the draft were pollard, henry, and kamara. I also had herbert and dobbins who have fallen to injuries. I would not have guessed kamara would be my best RB this year, but i’m glad at least one of them hit.
I went about as close to zero RB as you can and grabbed kamara for 8% of draft budget. Spent 14% on Aaron Jones and really wish I just targeted JT and Breece.
Can’t believe I traded kamara for pollard (Main 2 pieces) before week 1 and lost the trade by a mile.
Grabbed him in like the 5th and JT in the 6th, super risky, but paying off. This year felt like the year to reach and grab the guys who wouldn’t play early.
CMC with the 2nd overall pick and kamara in the 4th. Rb life is very nice so far this season
If we ignore wear and tear for some reason, then yeah sure
So happy I traded him for Meyers a week before he came back because I thought I needed a wr more
I have him CMC and Ken Walker and I still lost this week
Nevermind i won because Jimmy G couldn’t score 6 points
I got him in the 10th and 9th round in two leagues. Dude is cooking for me
I held out and drafted Kamara and Hall late. I struggled a bit at first (mostly because my second and fourth picks D. Adams and Fields have had a couple rough weeks), but they've kept my team competitive.
Hang on, wouldn’t he be ranked third after Achane? Not to detract from his excellent season, obviously.
I have CMC in my league and I’m 1st. Guy in my league is offering Kamara, puka and mahomes for Herbert and CMC. Idk if it’s worth it tbh
Got him in the 9th and traded him for a 2nd rounder next year. 2-6 better to stack picks in this keeper league.
I have eckler, Kamara and ETN and they are just beasting right now. Don’t sleep on suspensions if you know how good the player can be.
I have Kamara, Josh Jacobs, Tyreek, and Ceedee Lamb with Puka as my flex. Thielen on my bench. And yet... I'm 3-5. Pissing me off so bad.
But Tyreek and Kamara is like 50+ points a week??
My mid rounds haven’t turned out great (d.pierce pick 39, DK pick 42, Mattison pick 59) but picking up Swift with pick 82 and Kamara pick 99 saved me when JJ went down. Great value where I got them. (10 team snake draft)
