Fantasy News: Saints' Alvin Kamara, Derek Carr, Olave Out with Injuries vs. Packers

The New Orleans Saints offense will be very depleted in their Week 16 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

The Saints released their injury report ahead of the Monday night matchup on Saturday and will have six players ruled out and five questionable heading in. Among those that will not be active are running back Alvin Kamara, quarterback Derek Carr and wide receiver Chris Olave.

The Saints will likely start Spencer Rattler at quarterback while the running back duties will be split between Kendre Miller, Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims. Olave will be replaced by Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Kamara's injury occurred in the Saints Week 15 loss to the Washington Commanders. He exited the game during the fourth quarter and was diagnosed with a groin injury. He has 950 rushing yards with six touchdowns while also leading the team with 68 catches for 543 yards and two touchdowns.

Carr has missed four games in 2024 and New Orleans has lost all of them. He last played on Dec. 8 and is currently dealing with a left hand injury. He has 2,145 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions thus far in 2024.

Olave has been on injured reserve due to multiple concussions during the season. He was cleared to practice this week but will still be on the sideline. He has 32 catches for 400 yards and a touchdown in eight games in 2024.

New Orleans is currently 5-9 and will hope depth contributions can lead the team to victory.
