Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Breece Hall

Friday, December 5, 2:59 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 14 divisional matchup with the Buccaneers. Kamara was held out of practice with ankle and knee injuries and will now miss his second consecutive game. After a slow start in a Week 13 loss to the Dolphins, sixth-round rookie Devin Neal finished with 47 rushing yards on 14 carries while adding three catches for another 22 yards. He showed good decisiveness and burst, but struggled to find any space behind a banged-up and overmatched offensive line, evidenced by almost 94% of his rushing yardage coming after contact. Tampa Bay has been uncharacteristically soft against the run this season, so Neal remains a low-end RB2/flex play, especially in PPR formats, having earned 10 targets over the past two weeks.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday due to knee soreness, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The Jets could be giving Hall some rest late in the season, but it's definitely something we'll be monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars approaches. If the 24-year-old is limited in any way or ruled out for this weekend, Isaiah Davis would become a plug-and-play RB option for fantasy managers as the Jets' No. 1 back. Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert could also be involved in the backfield. However, with undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook potentially making his first NFL start in Week 15, all of New York's offensive skill players would need to be downgraded this weekend. Going into Week 15, Hall is the RB17 in half-PPR points with 877 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and 309 receiving yards and another score.
