Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Jaylen Wright

Thursday, December 4, 4:42 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday due to ankle and knee injuries, per Sara Palczewski of Louisiana First News. Kamara suffered a sprained MCL in Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons and missed the Saints' Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Based on his lack of practice participation so far this week, it appears the 30-year-old could be trending towards his second straight missed game in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Kamara sidelined, Saints rookie running back Devin Neal served as the team's RB1 against Miami, recording 69 scrimmage yards on 17 touches. Neal profiles as a low-end RB2/high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 14 if Kamara does indeed remain out.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright slid back down the team's backfield hierarchy in Week 11's 16-13 win against the Washington Commanders, handling one tote for a gain of four yards. Wright picked up a decent amount of carries (five) in the game prior, with teammate Ollie Gordon II battling an ankle issue. However, he was back to third in the pecking order, with the latter injury-free, and, for the most part, has played a tertiary role in Miami's attack while dealing with injuries of his own in 2025. With Gordon II working as the primary change-of-pace option, and De'Von Achane dominating touches at the position, Wright can be left to waiver-wire fodder in redraft leagues for the time being.
