Kamara was suspended for the first three games of the 2023 season, but the Saints have fared well without him, going 2-1.
Alvin Kamara status for Week 4 game vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kamara is expected to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Bucs. He should have a big role with fellow running back Jamaal Williams currently on injured reserve.

With Derek Carr’s status up in the air, the Saints could be displaying a run-heavy scheme in Week 4.
Kamara would likely be at the forefront of that, and he’s dominated in his first game of the season in previous years.
Alvin Kamara is finally BACK this week

His first game of the season by year:
2018: 43 Fantasy Points
2019: 24 Fantasy Points
2020: 25 Fantasy Points
2021: 18 Fantasy Points
2022: 8 Fantasy Points
He usually feasts in Game 1 of the year
With Williams out, Kamara will likely be the team’s goal-line back, although he could get vultured by Taysom Hill. Still, I think the Saints rely on Kamara and the ground game against a Bucs team on a short week.
