Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Drake London

Tuesday, September 23, 3:23 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed 18 times for just 42 yards and added one catch for 14 yards on two targets in the blowout loss to the Seahawks. His 50 rushing attempts through three weeks rank ninth in the league, though his 3.3 targets per game are well below his career average of 6.25. Kamara's usage on the ground remains high despite a limited role in the passing game, and the Saints face a Bills defense in Week 4 that recently allowed De'Von Achane seven receptions for 36 yards and 5.2 yards per carry on the ground. Negative game script may continue, but Kamara is expected to see a mix of carries and targets in both the run and passing game, keeping him relevant in fantasy lineups.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught three of four targets for 49 yards in Week 2, a disappointing performance after drawing a whopping 15 targets and catching eight balls in Week 1 (albeit for only 55 yards). Michael Penix Jr. completed only 13 passes in Week 2 as the team relied on the ground attack, and with a player like Bijan Robinson, the team could go back to the run again in Week 3 against a poor Carolina run defense. However, working in the 24-year-old's favor is that the Panthers will be without Patrick Jones II (hamstring), who tallied seven sacks a year ago, which could give Penix more time to complete passes. Also, despite Carolina yielding the most rush yards per game in all of football last year, London still amassed 10 catches on 18 targets for 187 yards and two scores with Penix under center in the final week of the season against Carolina, so there is hope for the fourth-year wideout to put up some big numbers if the Panthers can somehow keep it close. The 6-foot-4 receiver is the unquestioned No. 1 in this receiving corps, and he checks in as a low-end WR1 this week.
