Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or DJ Moore

Wednesday, October 15, 7:38 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is basically on a maintenance schedule for his ankle, which is why he did not take part in practice on Wednesday, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara missing practice or being limited on Wednesdays won't necessarily be the case for the rest of the year, but it's the plan for right now. The 30-year-old veteran was limited in practice all of last week but still played in the Week 6 loss to the New England Patriots. Kamara played 62% of the offensive snaps and had 15 touches for 76 scrimmage yards. As long as he's able to get back to a limited practice on Thursday or Friday, Kamara should be fine to suit up this Sunday on the road in Chicago against the Bears. Although he's still the lead back in the Big Easy, Kamara has descended to RB2/3 status in fantasy. It doesn't help that Taysom Hill is now back to potentially steal goal-line touches as a RB.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (hip, groin) did not participate in the Bears' walk-through on Wednesday, according to the team. The participation for players is an estimate since no practice was held, but Moore would not have practiced anyway. Moore. suffered the injury during Monday night's win over Washington and then had to stay in the hospital overnight in Washington, D.C. He was productive before leaving, catching three of five targets for 42 yards and adding 10 rushing yards on two carries. His status will be monitored throughout the week, with further updates to follow.
