I think part of the issue the last couple weeks with Kamara has been that the Saints have had pretty easy wins. Payton has always scaled Kamara's touch based on the competitiveness of the game. I'm sure Hill at QB has something to do with it, but I think that effect is being overblown.
The boom or bust perception for Fuller has been real in the past. I think 2020 is different for him, mainly due to the departure of Nuk which freed up 10-15 targets a game. He is certainly a big play guy. But if you look at his game logs for the last few seasons, he is about as boom or bust as it gets. In 2019, for example, he had 9 games where he played at least 75% of the snaps, and 8 of those he played at least 88%. He scored single digits in PPR in 5 of those games, 2 others had 10.1 and 11.1 and then he had one game with 52.7 and one game with 21.
As far as Kamara, the problem is that he is not getting any targets out of the backfield. That's where a ton of his value comes from. I don't think that's going to change with Taysom as QB.
And OMFG, I just got a notification saying Fuller has been suspended for 6 games for violating the substance abuse policy. NOOOOO. WTF? That's terrible news for 2 of my teams.
