Every rushing indicator in Kamara's 2025 charting points the same direction: the lowest stacked-box rate any qualified back saw, the quickest average trip to the line of scrimmage, the lowest rushes-over-expected rate, minus-0.73 rush yards over expected per attempt, and 1.44 yards after contact on 3.6 a carry. Defenses invited him to run and he couldn't beat the math. He also landed 34 points under his expected total, the second-worst gap measured, so some rebound is baked into any projection. New Orleans then added Travis Etienne, and the beat reporting slots Kamara behind him as a pass-catching specialist, a role that still holds value at this price given his 33 catches in 11 games and an 85th-percentile snap share. Consensus projects 106.5 points, RB45, against a half-PPR market price of RB53, a gap that exists because drafters are pricing the age-30 cliff and the demotion while the projection assumes the reception role survives. I lean toward the market on this one. Once the rushing skill is this far gone the catches are the whole act, and pass-down roles for 30-year-old backs get taken away faster than projections update.
