Alvin Kamara Officially Good to Go in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 3:50 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) will not carry an injury designation into his team's Week 7 matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. The veteran back will reportedly sit out the team's Wednesday practices for the foreseeable future as he manages an ankle injury, but it does not appear the ailment will keep him from playing. Kamara has recorded 436 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 105 total touches through six games so far this season. He's averaging career lows in both yards per touch (4.2) and yards per reception (5.5). Kamara profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2/high-end flex option in Week 7 against Chicago.

Chuba Hubbard Will Return in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 12:50 PM

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales told reporters on Friday that running back Chuba Hubbard (calf) will play on Sunday against the New York Jets in Week 7, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hubbard will be making his return following a two-game absence due to a calf injury. While the 26-year-old was out, Rico Dowdle dominated to the tune of over 400 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 60 total touches. Before Hubbard's injury, he was the clear leader of Carolina's backfield. But given how well Dowdle played the last two weeks, things are probably going to shake out differently moving forward in terms of a backfield plan for the Panthers. The coaching staff hasn't given many hints about how the usage will be split between the two backs against the Jets this weekend. The most likely scenario is that Dowdle will take on a bigger role, with the backfield potentially split in half.
