Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas Could Return Against Bears
4 years agoThe New Orleans Saints are optimistic that both running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) will be available for the wild-card game against the Bears on Sunday. Kamara tested positive for COVID-19 last week, and it will be a full 10 days before their first-round playoff game against Chicago, so Kamara, Latavius Murray and the entire Saints running back room will have a chance to be active. The Saints running backs must remain asymptomatic and be cleared in order to play. We'll have to keep a close eye on the statuses of Kamara, Murray and Thomas as the week progresses, but New Orleans' offense would receive a huge boost if they were all active against Chicago. Kamara would be a strong RB play for the fantasy playoffs despite a tough matchup with the Bears, while Thomas is a little bit more risky coming off his placement on Injured Reserve.
