Kamara rushed 13 times for 50 yards and one touchdown while catching four of seven targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Falcons.
Fantasy managers can largely thank the Saints' late comeback bid for Kamara's productive day. Not only was he kept out of the end zone until late in the fourth quarter, but he and Mark Ingram shared the backfield workload almost evenly up until that point. In the end, Kamara's 20 combined targets and carries ended up being just six more than Ingram's, as it's clear that New Orleans is trying to lighten the load for the 5-foot-10 running back, who averaged nearly 25 combined targets and carries per contest before the Saints traded for Ingram ahead of Week 8. While Kamara will still remain among the busiest running backs in the league even if he continues to cede some work to Ingram, fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect him to return to the gaudy usage he had during the first half of the year.
