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

Friday, December 5, 2:59 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 14 divisional matchup with the Buccaneers. Kamara was held out of practice with ankle and knee injuries and will now miss his second consecutive game. After a slow start in a Week 13 loss to the Dolphins, sixth-round rookie Devin Neal finished with 47 rushing yards on 14 carries while adding three catches for another 22 yards. He showed good decisiveness and burst, but struggled to find any space behind a banged-up and overmatched offensive line, evidenced by almost 94% of his rushing yardage coming after contact. Tampa Bay has been uncharacteristically soft against the run this season, so Neal remains a low-end RB2/flex play, especially in PPR formats, having earned 10 targets over the past two weeks.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is looking to sustain his elite productivity in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Swift had a monster game in Week 13, totaling 138 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against the defending champion, Philadelphia Eagles. While Swift has averaged 14.4 PPR fantasy points per game this season, rookie running back Kyle Monangai has been performing like a number-one running back as well. Over the past three weeks, the split has been nearly even, with Swift playing 52% of the snaps and Monangai playing 46%. The matchup is not ideal as well, with the Packers ranking as the seventh-best run defense in the NFL this season. Swift's fantasy value will come down to game script, as he should be considered a low-end RB2 in Week 14.
