Week 15 Quick Reads

And now, a quick update on the status of one Alvin Kamara. Three weeks ago, we noted that the Saints running back was having one of the best rookie seasons on record. Now, we are very close to removing the "one of" qualifier from that sentence. With two weeks still to play, Kamara is up to 265 DYAR rushing and 223 DYAR receiving. That's 488 combined DYAR, the second-best total for a rookie running back in our database. Clinton Portis' rookie mark of 501 DYAR, set in 2002, is in serious jeopardy. Assuming opponent adjustments and league-wide baselines remain stable, Kamara needs only 14 DYAR against the Falcons and Buccaneers to break Portis' record.
