Alvin Kamara's Role in New Orleans Backfield Remains Uncertain

Friday, November 13, 6:58 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed just six times for 32 yards and added three catches for another 17 yards in Week 9's victory over the Browns. Kamara out-snapped fellow running back Audric Estime 37-35, though it was Estime who out-gained him 77-49 in total yards. Kamara's inefficient season continues, as he is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry on 6.7 attempts per game, both career lows. There may be additional mouths to feed in the backfield as well, as fellow running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) logged a full practice on Friday and is listed as questionable to return from IR. With added competition, Kamara's fantasy value takes a significant hit. However, if Etienne Jr. does not suit up, Kamara would be a viable FLEX option against a Panthers defense allowing the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season.

Ashton Jeanty a Risky Low-End RB2 in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 12:56 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is having a challenging season, and he won't get any relief in Week 10 against a stingy Seattle Seahawks defense. The 22-year-old continues to mix short-pass duties with the run game, but has disappointed fantasy managers overall as his efficiency declines and he loses some of his workload to Mike Washington Jr. In Week 9, Jeanty had six carries for 25 yards and caught five of seven targets for negative ground in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He and the Raiders now face Seattle's top-ranked defense that has allowed just 21.7 yards per running back per game through Week 9. Jeanty's contributions to the passing game will also be stymied, especially since Fernando Mendoza is making his first career start. Not to mention that Mendoza is younger than Kirk Cousins and may opt to run the ball himself. Jeanty is a risky low-end RB2 for a difficult Week 10 matchup.
