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.

what's the record through seven games?

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.
