Alvin Kamara: limited again Thursday (knee), Estime sits out

THE FACT. Kamara logged a second straight limited practice on Thursday with the knee injury, per USA TODAY's Tim Piotrowski (Thursday, 6:55 p.m. ET). The same Saints report, via Canal Street Chronicles, lists RB Audric Estime as a non-participant (thigh) and Cam Jordan out again (hamstring) ahead of Sunday at Detroit.

THE VERDICT. Two limited days in a row with no downgrade is the pattern of a player who plays. Redraft: keep Kamara in your RB2 slot but hold a bench alternative in case Friday brings a questionable tag and a Sunday-morning decision. With Estime also hurt, the Saints backfield has little depth behind him, which only raises his workload if he suits up. DFS: fade until the Friday report clears him.
