New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 45 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Surprisingly, he saw limited action in the passing game despite Spencer Rattler's career-high 46 pass attempts, catching just two targets for 12 yards. Despite this, Kamara showed he still has plenty left in the tank. He looks poised to be effective again against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 and should see an increased workload as a pass-catcher. He remains a high-upside RB2 this week.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler suffered a torn Achilles during Thursday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Ekeler injured his ankle on the game's final drive while stepping back awkwardly. The lead back for Washington through the first two weeks, Ekeler totaled 14 carries for 43 yards and added five receptions for 38 yards. With 2024 starter Brian Robinson Jr. already traded, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt will now step into the starting role. Ekeler's contract expires after this season, making the injury an even bigger blow for the former star running back.
