Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Bijan Robinson

Sunday, October 12, 12:01 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The veteran running back has remained a productive ball carrier and pass catcher in his age-30 season, but we've started to see the Saints opt for somewhat of a split between him and Kendre Miller lately. Kamara's eight receptions over the last two games keep him in the high-end RB3/flex range for fantasy football, but he's no longer a top-tier workhorse. That is especially true against a Patriots defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage for the fourth straight game in Week 4, which also included his second touchdown of the season (first rushing score) and his second game with at least 100 yards receiving. With a minimum of five targets and three catches in each of the team's first four games, the 23-year-old has one of the highest floors for fantasy of any running back in the league, and the Falcons will likely need him to contribute in that area again in Week 6 if the team hopes to keep pace with the Bills. With Buffalo yielding the second-fewest pass yards per game and Atlanta as 4.5-point underdogs, the Falcons may lean on the run in an attempt to limit Buffalo's possessions, but could find themselves playing catch-up later in the game. Either way, Robinson will be involved, and with LB Matt Milano (pec) ruled out, there should be more holes for the former first-rounder to run through. The third-year pro sets up as a high-end RB1 again in Week 6.
