Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or D'Andre Swift

Sunday, November 9, 11:34 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. It's been a rough stretch of games for Kamara, who has just 12 carries over his last two games and is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry since Week 5. His usage and productivity in the receiving game have dwindled, too. However, he has a chance to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Panthers. Fantasy managers should give him one more chance to produce as a low-end RB2 this week.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is off the injury report and is set to play in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings. This marks the first time since Week 6 that Swift has no injury designation, as he has been playing through nagging hip and groin injuries throughout the season. Despite playing through injury, Swift has been a game-changer for the Bears this season. In eight games, he has 754 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 136 total attempts. However, Week 11 marks his first relatively tough opponent he's had since Week 2, as the Vikings have allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. This run defense is no joke, as they've held Derrick Henry and Jahmyr Gibbs to under double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back weeks. Swift profiles as a risky RB2 this week, with his value dependent on whether he finds the endzone in Minnesota.
