In 2016, Christian McCaffrey set the single season record for receptions by a running back with 116 catches.

Alvin Kamara has 35 receptions through 4 games this year (8.75 receptions per game). If he were to maintain his current pace for the Saints’ remaining 10 games, he’d finish with 123 catches.

    Alvara has had not one but two 14 target games this season. I’m not sure if there are any WRs who have 2 14 target games, maybe one or two. It’ll be hard for him to keep that pace up even with Carr loving to check down. Certainly hope it does as I grabbed Kamara in the 5th because I know Carr loves checking downnnm.

    Imagine having the guy with the single-season reception record for WR’s AND RB’s on your team. Surely this would translate to wins right?

    …right?

      You’re leaving out the context that Kamara didn’t play the first 3 games (suspension).

      That makes it even dumber of a “on pace” stat because the sample size is even smaller, but comparing his 4 game stretch to other RB’s would be interesting

        He’s certainly outpacing everyone but himself on a per-game basis: through four games, only 2018 Alvin Kamara has 35 receptions. Second place is 2020 Alvin Kamara, with 30, tied with Mike Davis in 2020 and Le’Veon Bell in 2016.
