Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Alvin Kamara's fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Ian starts things off by noting that Kamara, while great in his own right, has certainly benefited mightily from the presence of Drew Brees under center over the years. This is reflected in Kamara's production: he's been a consistent top-five fantasy RB thanks to his high-end target share and TD equity, two metrics that we can expect to have a smaller overall pie in 2021. Ian goes over the lack of high-end production from Kamara when someone other than Brees has been under center and notes that we should be hoping Jameis Winston wins this QB competition. The podcast concludes with Kamara's fantasy rank and thoughts on Latavius Murray as a high-end handcuff.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to PFF Fancy football podcast. I'm your host, Ian Hartitz. And today we continue |
| 0:13.5 | our fancy files series with a look at Alvin Camara. Let's get controversial people out |
| 0:18.6 | of every, you know, running back, tear, ranking, whatever article, whatever content I put |
| 0:23.3 | out. The most hate I get is on Jonathan Taylor, which we've talked about in here before, |
| 0:28.2 | and Alvin Camara. And let me just start off by saying this. I truly believe that if we |
| 0:33.0 | took every running back that is healthy right now, sorry, sick one, and the aliens invaded |
| 0:37.9 | tomorrow, and we need to face off for one game to the side, the fate of humanity, space jam, |
| 0:43.9 | but football version. I think Alvin Camara should probably be our RB one. I'll do respect |
| 0:48.5 | you guys like Nick Chubb, Derek Henry, others I'm forgetting. Camara just does everything |
| 0:53.7 | he wanted to do at a high level, and he does it while looking freaking great. RB one, all |
| 0:59.2 | swag team, no doubt about it. And again, he is on any short list of the best real life |
| 1:04.4 | players in the league. The thing is, fancy football is not always about just identifying |
| 1:09.3 | the best players at each position. It helps. He's up there. People, he's my RB 8. Maybe |
| 1:14.7 | that's low to you. It's a lot of a lot of people. And fancy land, he's a great RB one. |
| 1:19.6 | Real life, he might be the RB one. We just got to realize what's made him so good since |
| 1:25.4 | he's gotten to the league in 2017. Isn't exactly there anymore. And the main part of that |
| 1:29.7 | is Drew Brees, St. Offensive Line, also deserves plenty of credit. They're basically back, |
| 1:35.8 | but as we've seen over the years, pressure does tend to be more of a quarterback stat than |
| 1:39.6 | offense blind stat. It's got to hurt guys. As much as Tassam Hill, James Winston might |
| 1:44.4 | have a better overall arm talent, better skill set. Let us just move at this point in their |
| 1:49.2 | career. Like Drew Brees, just what he could do pre snap to get everything right for everyone |
| 1:53.8 | involved can't be understated. It's going to be what the culture going to go through |
