Saints have 2 options as RB1 for Week 16 after Devin Neal, Alvin Kamara injury news

The New Orleans Saints are getting pretty thin at running back.

Alvin Kamara is already out, and an injury will keep Devin Neal out of action in Week 16, too.

That has left fans and fantasy football players wondering: Who's going to be the number one RB?

Well, it looks like there are two options.

One of them is Evan Hull. A week ago, Hull got four carries.

The other is Audric Estime. He got three carries last week.

Hull was a fifth-round pick out of Northwestern in 2023 by the Colts.

Estime was a fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2024 by the Broncos.

Clearly, neither has stuck with their original team. This will be a big week for both of them to try and secure a bit better NFL future.

As far as workload, Saints coach Kellen Moore hasn't given anything away, only expressing confidence in the coaching staff to set the RBs up to succeed.

It seems like the Saints would go with a hot-hand approach here. They want to keep allowing rookie QB Tyler Shough to succeed, so they'll go with the back that is helping them move the ball the best.

That makes this pretty much an untouchable situation in fantasy leagues, even against a bad Jets team, unless you're in a really deep league or a really tough injury spot.

Estime is the bigger back (227 pounds vs. 209 pounds), so maybe he gets goal-line work.

The Saints are certainly a bit of a mystery this week.
