Alvin Kamara Expected to Suit Up on Sunday in Week 6

Sunday, October 18, 4:53 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (back) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New York Giants despite being listed as questionable, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Kamara has consistently been operating as one of the Saints' lead backs with Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve. However, at this point in his career, he can no longer be an every-down back. Instead, he has shared a significant workload with Kendre Miller, who actually out-touched Kamara 10 to five last week. Heading into a clash with New York, both Kamara and Miller rank as RB3 options. Either could produce at a fantasy-relevant level, but it may be unlikely for both to actually finish as top-36 backs.

D'Andre Swift News

D'Andre Swift Off the Week 6 Injury Report

Wednesday, October 14, 2:28 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is noticeably absent from the team's Week 6 injury report after being listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) did not practice on Wednesday after sitting out the Week 5 blowout loss to the division-rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday. With Monangai sidelined, the 27-year-old Swift had only nine carries for 43 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 30 yards against the Packers. The Bears falling behind by multiple scores early made it hard for Swift to make much of an impact on the ground. His touchdown and work in the passing game salvaged his performance from a fantasy perspective, and his TD on the ground was his first since scoring three times in the Week 1 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers. If Swift has the backfield all to himself again in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons on the road, he will have clear RB1 upside and will be looking for more production.
