Kamara rushed 19 times for 99 yards and caught six of nine targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara churned out his second consecutive strong fantasy performance playing behind fill-in starting quarterback Andy Dalton. While it is currently unclear who will be under center for New Orleans next week -- or on a given drive -- it has become crystal clear that the team's star running back is getting healthier. The 26-year-old played in back-to-back games for the first time this season, averaging 159.0 yards from scrimmage over that span. It is fortunate timing for fantasy managers that Kamara looks healthy, as the Saints have a quick turnaround in a Thursday matchup with Arizona to kick off Week 7.

Kamara rushed the ball 23 times for 103 yards in Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks. He added six receptions on six targets for 91 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara has missed two of the Saints' first four games due to a rib issue, but he showed no ill effects against Seattle. He wasn't able to find the end zone but still delivered a few splash plays, highlighted by a 54-yard catch and run that set up a touchdown two plays later. Also of note was the volume that Kamara handled, as his 29 touches were 12 more than he had seen in a previous game this season. While he began the campaign by splitting the backfield with Mark Ingram, Kamara looks to be in line to handle something closer to a workhorse role moving forward.

Kamara (rib) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
The rib injury conspired to sideline Kamara for two of the Saints' last three games, but after a trio of limited practices this week, New Orleans' top running back has been cleared to return to action. With top wideout Michael Thomas (foot) sidelined, Kamara could absorb some of the vacated targets in the passing game, though he'll have to make due at quarterback with Andy Dalton, who is filling in for Jameis Winston (back/ankle) for the second straight week.

Kamara (ribs), who's listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara has missed two of the last three games, but he's expected to return to action Sunday against Seattle despite being limited at each practice this week. Fantasy managers should still confirm Kamara's status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff, especially after the star running back was a late scratch ahead of Week 4. With Latavius Murray and Tony Jones no longer with New Orleans, Mark Ingram and Dwayne Washington are in line to serve as the top backups behind Kamara.

Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday this week, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara missed two of the past three games, including last week in London after following the same practice routine (limited participation every day). Mark Ingram and Latavius Murray both topped 40 percent snap share in the loss to Minnesota, but with Murray now gone to the Broncos, the Saints might turn back to Tony Jones as the complement to Ingram if Kamara can't play. The Saints will release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, and they've already revealed that it'll include WR Michael Thomas (foot, out) and likely QB Jameis Winston (back/ankle, doubtful).

Kamara (ribs) was limited at Thursday's practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara continues to operate with limitations on his practice reps, with just one more opportunity to bump up to full before the Saints potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. For what it's worth, he's confident that he'll be able to play this weekend, telling Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com on Wednesday that he's "feeling great, healthy, ready to roll," and he's "going to be out there." If Kamara gains clearance to play, he may have to share touches out of the backfield with Mark Ingram, but the former still has averaged 14.5 touches per game in his two appearances this season.

Kamara (ribs) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Like he did last week prior to being inactive this past Sunday versus the Vikings in London, Kamara had a cap on his practice reps. He'll have opportunities to bump up to all activity Thursday and Friday, after which the Saints may give him a game-day designation for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks. Mark Ingram again would be the main beneficiary if Kamara is limited or out this weekend, with Dwayne Washington and Tony Jones the other running backs on New Orleans' active roster.

Kamara (ribs) took part in practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging three limited practices during Week 3 prep, Kamara was unavailable for this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings in London due to a rib injury. His activity level Wednesday isn't known, but if he handles all the reps, he'll be in line to lead the Saints backfield moving forward.

Kamara (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
With Kamara inactive, look for Mark Ingram to head the Saints' running back corps versus the Vikings, with Dwayne Washington and Latavius Murray on hand to work in complementary roles. Kamara's next chance to suit up will arrive in Week 5, when New Orleans faces the Seahawks.

Kamara (ribs) is not slated to play Sunday against the Vikings, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara's status for the contest will be officially confirmed upon the release of the Saints' inactives ahead of Sunday's 9:30 ET kickoff, but it looks like the team's Week 4 rushing game is in line to be led by Mark Ingram.
