Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about the latest injuries to Derek Carr (oblique) and Alvin Kamara (hip/hand).
The Saints’ hot start to the season feels like a distant memory. After a dominant pair of wins to open the season, New Orleans has lost three straight. Even more concerning is the health of Derek Carr, who is expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering an injury against the Chiefs. With the status of star running back Alvin Kamara ($7,700) also up in the air, it’s anyone’s guess as to how the team will look this Sunday against Tampa Bay.
Will backup QB Spencer Rattler ($4,000) feed New Orleans’ wide receivers? Is Kamara going to suit up in Week 6? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- A rookie quarterback is a scary thought for Steve and Meghan. A deep threat like Rashid Shaheed ($5,600) now becomes difficult to start, and even Chris Olave ($6,600) could struggle against a good Bucs secondary.
- Steve’s biggest concern is a poor Saints offensive line trying to protect Rattler against a ferocious Tampa Bay defense that loves to blitz.
- On Friday, Kamara was taken off the injury report and should be good to go this week. He’s the only Saint that fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting.
