ASU’s Cam Skattebo’s stock sky-high with two more visits leading up to the 2025 Draft
With the 2025 NFL Draft less than a week away, in-demand running back Cam Skattebo squeezed two more visits under the gun. The gritty runner—one of the draft’s top prospects—visited the Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans this week. This comes after official visits with the Cardinals, Browns, and Giants, and more presumed interest across the league.
It’s hard to imagine Skattebo ending up in Detroit, stuck behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Tennessee also already has two backs with comparative styles. The first-team All-American is known for his smooth transitions from hard-nosed runner to receiving option out of the backfield. Those comparisons have drawn speculation that he’s also catching the eye of Sean Payton in Denver, who is likely seeking an Alvin Kamara prototype.
The most intriguing fits for his visits appear to be the Browns and Giants. Jerome Ford and Tyrone Tracy (respectively) have each been discussed as players whose roles are in jeopardy.

It sounds like New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara...

New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi ...
Eagles Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore is now the New Orleans Saints Head Coach.
The Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles will be losing their Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore to the New Orleans Saints, where he will become their new Head Coach. He helped the Eagles to win a Super Bowl this year but also the Eagles offense was a top team in yards per game, points scored per game, rushing yards per game, and time of possession. Moore has been on a head coach watch list in recent years, and he will now get his first crack at it with a 5-12 Saints team.
His presence will help this Saints offense that finished in the back half of the league in major categories such as points scored, yards per game, passing yards per game, time of possession, and 3rd down efficiency percentage.
For fantasy it is wheels up for Alvin Kamara, who Moore will use as his new Saquon Barkley, who just won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award. With Moore at the helm, Derek Carr is projected to be the Saints starting quarterback.

New Orleans Saints have extended Alvin Kamara to a two-year $24.5 million extension.
In the first year behind new Offense Coordinator Klint Kubiak the Saints running back Alvin Kamara is currently the RB2 on the season. With that production he is rewarded we a two-year extension worth $24.5 million and is signed through the 2026 season. With this extension it ends any rumors out there of a possible trade involving Kamara.
For fantasy Kamara continues to be a must start each week! He is leading the league in reception and targets for running backs. He continues to shine in this offense. This extension does hurt Kendre Miller value for dynasty, as well as for redrafts the rest of this year and the furture.
New Orleans Saints Taysom Hill is out but running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed are good to go.
Jack of all trades Taysom Hill is going to miss back-to-back weeks due to rib injury. This will also be the third game he has missed this season. This is major blow to the Saints in which they are starting Spencer Rattler this week due to Derek Carr being out as well. Hill could have been used in a wildcat formation or even on trick play too.
The Saints will however have starting running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed. They got taken off of the injury report on Friday. Look for the Saints to lean heavily on Kamara this week as they have rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler starting. Kamara is a must start this week since he will be used as a workhorse. Shaheed can be a streamer this week if needing someone to fill in due to injuries or byes.

The New Orleans Saints trounce their division rival 47-10 in week 1.
The New Orleans Saints pulled ahead in the NFC South division race by defeating their division rival Carolina Panthers 47-10. Derek Carr and the Klint Kubiak offense get off to a hot start.
Rashid Shaheed was the star receiver of the day with 3 receptions for 73 yards receiving and a touchdown. Alvin Kamara had 83 rushing yards and a touchdown to go along with 5 receptions for 27 yards receiving.
Bryce Young had a putrid 43.3% completion percentage, 161 passing yards, and 0 touchdowns. Diontae Johnson had 2 receptions for 19 yards. There aren’t enough Bojangles biscuits to be served that will help Panther fans recover from the week 1 disappointment.
The Saints will face a big test in week 2 traveling to face the Dallas Cowboys while the Panthers nightmare will continue in Charlotte versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
Saints veteran running back Alvin Kamara left Saints practice with a back injury today.
Saints star running back Alvin Kamara left Saints practice today with tightness in his back. The severity remains unclear, but does not sound too serious at the moment.
The Saints will be wise to ease the wily veteran into the season as health and stability behind Kamara has been an issue each of the last 2 seasons. Teammate Kendre Miller has been living in the training room both last year and leading into the current season.
Alvin Kamara at age 29 is a back who will provide extra value in PPR leagues. The ‘PPR scam’ that has been a popularized phrase in fantasy football nomenclature is an apt description for what fantasy gamers can expect in 2024. Kamara had 75 receptions which was second at the running back position in 2023. Going at the 6-7 turn on UnderDog, Alvin Kamara is an easy click even in half PPR leagues.
