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

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Kamara played a season-low 51 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's unclear if that was because the game was a blowout or because Kamara was battling this ankle issue. It doesn't sound like something that is going to cause Kamara to sit out in Week 9. However, fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday for more updates. Devin Neal (ankle) would be asked to take over as the lead back if Kamara sits out against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. posted his worst performance of the season this past weekend. Robinson has barely seen the field lately, but only played two offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old saw nine rushing attempts in Week 7, so it's a bit odd to see Robinson basically not even touch the field. Surprisingly, Christian McCaffrey has stayed healthy this season, so Robinson's role has been limited in this offense. The expectation is that Robinson is only going to see a handful of touches at most going forward. Robinson isn't going to offer viable fantasy value while McCaffrey is healthy and thriving.
