Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Alexander Mattison

Wednesday, November 26, 8:34 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Kamara was forced to exit early during Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He underwent an MRI which revealed that Kamara is dealing with a sprained MCL. There's still two more days for Kamara to get healthy enough to play, but fantasy managers should prepare to be without him. If he sits, Devin Neal figures to take over as the lead back for the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Neal could offer RB2 value if he takes over the starting gig this weekend.

Miami Dolphins running back Alexander Mattison (neck) was officially placed on injured reserve on Monday. Mattison injured his neck during a preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday and later went for surgery. It was announced on Monday that he would miss the remainder of the year, with the team placing him on IR just as a procedural move to clear roster space. Mattison's absence will open up reps for second-year running back Jaylen Wright and rookie Ollie Gordon II behind starter De'Von Achane.
