Alvin Kamara Could Have Limited Upside Against Vikings

Saturday, October 10, 6:23 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed seven times for 23 yards and two touchdowns and added five receptions for 35 yards in Week 4's loss to the Falcons. Kamara has been on the injury report all week with a lingering back issue, missing Wednesday's practice while participating in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday. The 31-year-old has not been particularly efficient with his touches, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry and 4.3 yards per reception while scoring only two touchdowns on the year. If he does suit up, his upside will be limited against a Vikings defense allowing just 94.5 rushing yards per game. If he does not play, expect Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson to absorb the carries. Kamara comes in at RB28 in RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Cam Skattebo Faces Tough Commanders Run Defense

Saturday, October 10, 7:16 AM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (shoulder) is off the injury report and set to play against the division-rival Washington Commanders. After being limited in Wednesday and Thursday's practices, Skattebo was a full participant on Friday and is set to play in Week 5. In four games, he has 68 carries for 235 yards and one touchdown, plus eight receptions for 67 yards. The second-year back has been the team's workhorse, averaging 65% of snaps this season. However, his lack of efficiency has been a problem, and against the Commanders' run defense, which has allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, he could have issues again. Fantasy managers can start Skattebo as a low-end RB2, though he's likely to be touchdown-dependent against a stout Washington run defense.
