Alvin Kamara A Yards-After-The Catch Beast
4 years agoNew Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has become the focal point of the team's passing offense with wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) out since Week 1. Emmanuel Sanders also missed the Week 7 game after going on the COVID-19 list. Kamara leads the league in target rate (35.6 percent) on his 149 total routes run, with a good chunk of those being screens (43). He's run more than twice as many screen routes as the next closest player on the list. Kamara has been targeted on 19 screens, catching 16 passes for 139 yards. His 448 yards after the catch go to show why the Saints star running back is a must-start, high-end RB1 each and every week, especially for as long as Thomas continues to sit out.
