Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Jalen Nailor

Wednesday, October 22, 1:11 AM

New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and caught all three of his targets for just one yard in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. This marks his fifth straight game under 100 total yards, and he has not found the end zone since Week 1. Looking ahead to Week 8, Kamara faces a Buccaneers defense that just allowed Jahmyr Gibbs to explode for 218 total yards and two touchdowns on Monday night. Over 14 career games against Tampa Bay, Kamara has totalled 626 rushing yards, 565 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. Even with a low 3.6 yards per carry, his volume and history against the Buccaneers keep him in the low-end RB2 conversation for Week 8.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor didn't do much in the team's 48-10 blowout win over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3 on Sunday in his last chance at an elevated role in Minnesota's passing attack. Nailor secured three of his five targets from veteran quarterback Carson Wentz for 37 yards, which was third on the team. His 37 yards were actually the most he's had in three games in 2025 in what was his best chance for an elevated workload with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three contests. Addison is set to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so the 26-year-old Nailor will likely have a reduced role. So far this year, Nailor has seven receptions on 13 targets for 96 scoreless yards. He belongs on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues with Addison making his return.
