New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed for 67 yards on 10 carries and had another 55 yards on six receptions in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It was the first time since Week 4 that Kamara had over 100 yards from scrimmage. The efficiency was a welcome change compared to the last three weeks when Kamara was gaining just 2.5 yards per carry. Kamara's first touch of the game was a 23-yard run, his longest of the season until he logged a 24-yarder in the fourth quarter. Kamara was also responsible for the Saints' longest play of the day, taking a screen pass 37 yards and showing great patience in staying behind his blockers along the way. In Week 9, New Orleans will take on the Carolina Panthers. In Week 1's blowout victory of Carolina, Kamara had 83 rushing yards and a touchdown and will again be a focal point for the Saints' offense.

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins scored a touchdown in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Dobbins led the Chargers backfield in all categories, running the ball 17 times for 57 yards and catching four of seven passing game targets for 11 yards. Dobbins scored on a one-yard goal line run in the second quarter. Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins combined for just seven carries and 16 yards, showing once again that Dobbins has this backfield locked down. He'll be in the RB1/2 conversation most weeks, including in Week 9 when the Chargers travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns.
