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

Saturday, December 21, 4:28 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) has been ruled out by the team for Week 16's game at Green Bay. Kamara will miss the matchup with the Packers this week and look to rebound to be available for Week 17 against Las Vegas. Kendre Miller will be the lead back for the Saints in Week 16. Kamara has 228 rushes for 950 rushing yards and six rushing TDs this season. He also has 68 catches for 543 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns this year. He has been one of the most productive fantasy running backs this season so his absence is a crushing blow for the fantasy playoffs. Miller has a decent matchup in Week 16 and looks like a must-add waiver-wire option for fantasy managers.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift amassed 79 yards on 19 carries in his team's 30-12 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. He added ten more through the air on his lone target. Swift bounced back in this one after a poor string of games on the ground, during which he averaged 35.7 yards per game and 2.82 YPC. Still, it wasn't enough to get him to double-digit fantasy points -- a feat he's failed to accomplish since Week 11. In his and his team's defense, they've been through quite the gauntlet of defenses over the last four weeks (MIN [twice], DET, SF). However, there is no denying that the Bears' offense lacks execution. The 25-year-old will get a rematch with Chicago's division-rival Detroit Lions in Week 16 and could be a candidate for a decent outing with the Lions' mounting injuries on the defensive side of the ball.
