Alvin Kamara MCL sprain puts him out for a month or more
Saints RB Alvin Kamara is expected to miss at least a month with a sprained MCL, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football confirmed the injury occurred during New Orleans' Week 12 loss to the Falcons, forcing Kamara out of that game.
What the timeline means for fantasy rosters
A month-plus absence puts Kamara's return somewhere in the final weeks of the regular season, if he returns at all this year. There is a real possibility the Saints shut him down entirely depending on how the injury responds. Either way, he is not a viable starter or waiver target for the foreseeable future.
Drop or trade him now if your roster cannot absorb dead weight through the playoff stretch. If you are in a dynasty or keeper league, hold, but do not expect him to contribute this season.
