Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or DK Metcalf

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf looked fresh coming off the bye week in the 23-9 victory over the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 6 on Sunday. Metcalf scored a touchdown for the fourth straight game and also caught four of his nine targets on the day for 95 yards. The efficiency wasn't great, but Metcalf once again led the team in targets and receiving yards in a game in which the Steelers were never really threatened. The veteran wideout made up for his lack of efficiency against Cleveland by going for over 20 yards on all four of his receptions. Metcalf is clearly quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top target every week in a receiving corps that doesn't have many other exciting options in the passing attack. In addition to four straight games with a touchdown, Metcalf has topped 80 yards in three of his first five games in Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old should be a busy man on Thursday night in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals and their weak defense.
