Alvin Kamara Slides to Flex Range in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 7:22 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gained 28 of his 32 rushing yards in overtime against Cleveland. He had three carries for four yards in regulation, half as many attempts as he logged against Pittsburgh before the bye. Kamara caught seven passes for 57 yards against the Steelers and three for 17 against the Browns as his snap share dipped from 56% to 49%. He practiced fully Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, when the Saints listed him for rest and a back issue. Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) was limited both days and remained on injured reserve Thursday. In the two games they played together this season, Etienne had 21 carries and four catches to Kamara's 18 carries and six catches. Kamara is a low-end flex in 12-team PPR leagues against Carolina after Audric Estim handled 14 carries in regulation. Kamara drew four of the five targets thrown to Saints backs, including an eight-yard catch that got New Orleans to Cleveland's two-yard line late in the fourth quarter. Estim took the handoff on the next play and scored.

Cam Skattebo Excels in Loss

Thursday, November 12, 8:50 PM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries in Thursday night's 24-21 home loss to the Washington Commanders. He added 44 yards on 3-of-4 receiving. The second-year pro out of Arizona State missed Week 9's win over the Eagles with a hamstring injury, but was back out in full force for this one, running with his signature ferocity en route to his second career multi-touchdown performance. After Skattebo's soft benching back in Week 6, when he didn't record a touch, he responded with back-to-back excellent showings while compiling a 35/202/3 rushing line. If the 24-year-old can maintain his work in the passing game, he's likely to remain a valuable fantasy asset for the rest of the season. Either way, Skattebo profiles as a strong RB2 at his best and is finally looking like himself as we hit the back half of the campaign. We'll see if he can keep it up in next weekend's unfavorable draw against a stout Jacksonville Jaguars defense.
