Alvin Kamara's Fantasy Outlook Trending Down Ahead of Week 9

Saturday, November 7, 5:14 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed six times for just five yards while adding seven receptions for 57 yards in Week 7's loss to the Steelers. Kamara has been extremely inefficient this season, averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry and just 20.8 rushing yards per game. His receiving usage has been the only thing keeping him afloat from a fantasy perspective, as his seven receptions led the team in Week 7. Kamara also faces growing competition for touches in the backfield, as Kendre Miller received eight carries last game, the Saints recently signed Audric Estime, and Travis Etienne Jr. is working his way back from IR. With the Saints failing to establish any sort of run game and his role being shaky, Kamara is best viewed as a touchdown-dependent FLEX option against a Browns defense that ranks around the middle of the pack against running backs.

Cam Skattebo News

Cam Skattebo Doubtful for Week 9

Friday, November 6, 12:39 PM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful to play on Sunday in the Week 9 divisional game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of the team's official website. Skattebo returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in overtime in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. It is quite disappointing for fantasy managers after the 24-year-old had last week's bye to recover, but he still is not ready and will hand over lead-back duties in the backfield to Devin Singletary. Singletary will become a plug-and-play RB2 this weekend against a banged-up Eagles defense, with Greg Desrosiers and either Eric Gray or Phil Mafah backing him up. The Giants have a quick turnaround in Week 10 with another divisional tilt upcoming against the Washington Commanders next Thursday night. With the quick turnaround, Skattebo may not be a lock to return to his RB1 role for the G-Men.
