Alvin Kamara Uninvolved In Saints' Week 5 Loss

Sunday, October 11, 3:28 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (back) ended Sunday as a fantasy disappointment, rushing just three times for 12 yards and losing six yards on two catches. The veteran came into the game with a questionable tag and still played, but he drew fewer carries than both Kendre Miller (10) and CJ Donaldson (four). The day was a consistent struggle for the New Orleans offense against Minnesota's top-tier defense, though Miller drew the key goal-line carries that led to the Saints' only offensive touchdown of the day. Kamara's receiving ability still gives him value in PPR formats, though the Saints' 96 passing yards made for an underwhelming day for everyone involved. New Orleans will face a better matchup next week against the New York Giants.

D'Andre Swift News

D'Andre Swift Primed for Busy Week 5 Outing

Friday, October 9, 9:44 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is poised to handle more work in this Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, as teammate Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) has been ruled out. Swift also missed some practice this week, bothered by a lingering knee injury and a new hip ailment. However, he carries no designation into the contest and is expected to get as much work as he can handle. The Pennsylvania native likely won't see everything, as fantasy managers can expect backfield mate Roschon Johnson to rotate behind him in some fashion. Still, Swift gets a bump in his outlook this week, with a leaky Packers rush defense lined up against him. Green Bay is giving up the fifth-most rushing yards per game (139.3) and the second-highest average fantasy points to running backs (24.8). Swift remains a high-end RB2 for Week 5 and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR RB14.
