Alvin Kamara Officially Active for Week 6 Against Patriots

Sunday, October 12, 12:01 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The veteran running back has remained a productive ball carrier and pass catcher in his age-30 season, but we've started to see the Saints opt for somewhat of a split between him and Kendre Miller lately. Kamara's eight receptions over the last two games keep him in the high-end RB3/flex range for fantasy football, but he's no longer a top-tier workhorse. That is especially true against a Patriots defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025.

De'Von Achane Scores Twice in Best Rushing Performance of the Season

Sunday, October 12, 7:24 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 16 times for 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught four of his six targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Achane had his best rushing performance of the year, posting season-highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. His speed proved too challenging for Los Angeles' defense to slow down, and he padded his fantasy stats with some extra contributions in the passing game, too. Of course, it wasn't quite enough to get Miami the victory, as the Dolphins fell to 1-5 on the year. The good news for fantasy managers is that Achane has been able to remain a top-10 fantasy running back despite the Dolphins' struggles. He'll continue to be a mid-range RB1 for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.
