Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Brian Robinson Jr.

Friday, October 10, 2:38 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is questionable to play in the team's Week 6 game against the New England Patriots, according to Rod Walker of The New Orleans Advocate. Kamara has been listed as a limited practice participant this week after suffering an ankle injury during practice on Wednesday. The 30-year-old has recorded 360 scrimmage yards and one touchdown on 90 total touches. If he were unable to play in Week 6, Saints running back Kendre Miller would be in line for a significant workload increase. Assuming Kamara can suit up, he profiles as a high-end RB3/flex option in Week 6 against New England.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been unable to produce much of anything in the team's Christian McCaffrey-powered offense. Injuries to starters Brock Purdy (toe), Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs), and George Kittle (hamstring) have led to McCaffrey seeing snap shares north of 85% in each of the last three weeks. Even with the 49ers piling as much on McCaffrey's plate as he can handle, very little is being asked of Robinson in the way of relieving the star. Robinson has a snap share of 13% going back to Week 3, and has handled 12 carries in the same span with zero targets. Robinson can't be started in fantasy lineups but is worth a bench stash. If the 49ers' injury bug comes for McCaffrey, Robinson will take over as the team's feature back.
