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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was busy Monday night against Houston, handling 17 carries for 71 yards while adding six receptions for 50 yards in the pass game. Irving was the engine of Tampa Bay's offense against Houston's stout defense, consistently making defenders miss and finding positive yardage. The star's second year back forced 11 missed tackles, including five on receptions in Monday night's game, the most in his career, according to NFL Pro. Mayfield was under a ton of pressure and took four sacks overall against one of the league's best pass rush groups, and he often resorted to Irving as a safety valve. Rachaad White handled more work than he did in Week 1 and ended up scoring the game-winning touchdown after Mayfield drove them down to the goal line. Otherwise, Irving still had a highly productive fantasy outing and remains Tampa Bay's lead back. He should be viewed as a rock-solid RB1 moving forward with his high-value touch role.
