Alvin Kamara News
Saturday, September 19, 6:17 AM
After missing Week 1 with an MCL sprain, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) was removed from the injury report and will make his 2026 debut in Week 2 on the road against the Ravens. Kamara is listed as a co-starter in New Orleans' backfield with fellow running back Travis Etienne Jr., but Kamara's exact usage remains unclear. The most likely scenario is that Etienne will handle early-down work and Kamara will see reps on third downs and passing downs. Etienne carried the ball nine times for 46 yards and recorded seven receptions for 32 yards in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. The mystery is which back will receive red zone and goal-line touches. With Kamara back in the fold, that likely also means a more limited role for Kendre Miller, who saw nine carries for 30 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Kamara ranks as RotoBaller's No. 64 running back in Week 2 and is projected to score 4.4 points against the Ravens. It is probably best to leave Kamara out of your lineup in Week 2 to see how the backfield rotation works out.

Cam Skattebo News
Saturday, September 19, 6:44 PM
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo looked strong in his return from his serious ankle injury suffered in 2025 and hopes to build on that against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 1, Skattebo had 18 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown in the 28-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The second-year back played 63% of snaps, handled all the short-yardage snaps, and had 12 more carries than the next-closest back, Devin Singletary. Unfortunately, he lacked the receiving role he had in 2025, when he caught 24 passes in eight games. Skattebo had no targets in Week 1 and played only two snaps on obvious passing downs, while Singletary played 11 snaps. He faces a Rams defense that allowed the fifth-most rushing yards (174) and the second-highest yards per carry (5.8) in the NFL in Week 1. Skattebo remains a solid option in Week 2, but his receiving role will be the key situation to monitor on Monday night.
