Kamara got plenty of touches to start the season at Minnesota when he had seven rushes for 18 yards, and four catches for 20 yards. His playing time was limited in the second game of the season against New England as he had just one carry for three yards, and three catches for 51 yards. He’s sharing time with Adrian Peterson and Mark Ingram.
