Alvin Kamara Questionable to Play in Week 6 Due to Ankle Injury

Friday, October 10, 2:38 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is questionable to play in the team's Week 6 game against the New England Patriots, according to Rod Walker of The New Orleans Advocate. Kamara has been listed as a limited practice participant this week after suffering an ankle injury during practice on Wednesday. The 30-year-old has recorded 360 scrimmage yards and one touchdown on 90 total touches. If he were unable to play in Week 6, Saints running back Kendre Miller would be in line for a significant workload increase. Assuming Kamara can suit up, he profiles as a high-end RB3/flex option in Week 6 against New England.

David Montgomery: Good Bet to Find the End Zone in Week 6?

Friday, October 10, 5:55 PM

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery logged a season-high 18 carries in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, finishing with 65 rushing yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old also tossed the second touchdown pass of his career on a trick play. Heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, Montgomery should be expected to return to the 1B role in the Lions' backfield alongside Jahmyr Gibbs. Kansas City has been surprisingly subpar against the run so far this season, ranking 24th in rushing touchdowns allowed (six) and 26th in yards per carry allowed (4.8). Montgomery's limited touch ceiling while playing next to Gibbs makes him reliant on touchdowns for fantasy production, but he looks like a decent bet to find the end zone against the Chiefs. In Week 6, Montgomery profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2.
