Fantasy buzz: How the Saints' RB committee limits both Kamara and Etienne

The Saints' backfield committee is a hot topic in fantasy football, and for good reason. By splitting carries between Alvin Kamara and Chris Evans, or now with the addition of Johnson, the Saints are limiting the fantasy upside of both players. This approach can be frustrating for fantasy owners who had high hopes for Kamara, in particular, who has been a top player in the past.

In a league where elite running backs can make or break a fantasy team, the uncertainty surrounding the Saints' backfield is a concern for coaches. The situation bears watching, especially if you're a Kamara or Etienne owner, as you may need to adjust your lineup or make a trade to compensate for the reduced workload. Meanwhile, other positions, like wide receiver, are also getting a boost or hit from quarterback play.

Looking ahead, coaches should keep an eye on the Bears and Falcons receiver corps, as the fantasy value of players like Darnell Mooney and Drake London hinges on updates about their quarterbacks. If Justin Fields or Marcus Mariota can take a step forward, it could unlock the potential of their respective receivers. Additionally, with Jonah Coleman's rising stock as a weekly pickup, coaches may want to consider adding him to their roster as a flex play or RB2.
