Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or De'Von Achane

Saturday, September 13, 1:32 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 45 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Surprisingly, he saw limited action in the passing game despite Spencer Rattler's career-high 46 pass attempts, catching just two targets for 12 yards. Despite this, Kamara showed he still has plenty left in the tank. He looks poised to be effective again against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 and should see an increased workload as a pass-catcher. He remains a high-upside RB2 this week.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was one of the few players on his team who made any fantasy contributions in a disastrous Week 1 loss to the Colts. Achane racked up 55 yards on just seven carries and added three catches for 20 yards and his team's only touchdown of the day. Achane was effective with his limited workload, but the offense couldn't sustain any drives with poor timing and pass protection. They'll look to bounce back against the Patriots in Week 2, who did a decent job against Ashton Jeanty in Week 1, but did allow a rushing touchdown. Achane has enough dual-threat upside to be a low-end RB1 despite his team's struggling offense, coming in at RB10 in the RotoBaller Week 2 rankings.
