Alvin Kamara's Role in New Orleans Backfield Remains Uncertain

Friday, November 13, 6:58 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed just six times for 32 yards and added three catches for another 17 yards in Week 9's victory over the Browns. Kamara out-snapped fellow running back Audric Estime 37-35, though it was Estime who out-gained him 77-49 in total yards. Kamara's inefficient season continues, as he is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry on 6.7 attempts per game, both career lows. There may be additional mouths to feed in the backfield as well, as fellow running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) logged a full practice on Friday and is listed as questionable to return from IR. With added competition, Kamara's fantasy value takes a significant hit. However, if Etienne Jr. does not suit up, Kamara would be a viable FLEX option against a Panthers defense allowing the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season.

George Pickens News

George Pickens Off the Injury Report, Will Play Sunday

Friday, November 13, 12:42 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final Week 10 injury report on Friday, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Pickens will play on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. He was limited in all three practices last week before being held out of Sunday's Week 9 win against the Indianapolis Colts, and he was limited in the first two practices this week. With the news, fantasy managers should be putting the 25-year-old back in their starting lineups this weekend against San Fran. Pickens' return will be a boost for quarterback Dak Prescott and a downgrade for Ryan Flournoy, who had a disappointing showing against the Colts last weekend. Pickens has not been as dynamic or explosive so far in his second year in Dallas in 2026, but he still has 39 receptions for 533 yards and two touchdowns on 62 targets and could be in for a big game in his return to the lineup in Week 10. RotoBaller has Pickens ranked as the No. 21 fantasy receiver this weekend.
