Alvin Kamara News
Saturday, September 26, 10:23 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned last week and immediately found work in the passing game, which is where most of his Week 3 appeal comes from. Kamara managed only 15 yards on nine carries against Baltimore but caught five of six targets for another seven yards. Travis Etienne Jr. actually played more snaps, although Kamara finished with 14 touches to Etienne's 10. Both backs are healthy heading into Sunday's matchup with Las Vegas, so another split should be expected. The Raiders have allowed 100.5 rushing yards per game and 4.0 yards per carry through two weeks, making this a fairly neutral matchup on the ground. Kamara's five catches in his season debut are much more encouraging for PPR managers than the rushing numbers. The latest RotoBaller PPR rankings place him at RB46 for Week 3. He can work as a deeper flex, but the receiving role needs to stay busy if he is going to overcome the committee and limited rushing production.

Jerry Jeudy News
Saturday, September 26, 4:19 AM
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has not been heavily involved in the Browns passing attack thus far through two games of the season and cannot be trusted as a fantasy wide receiver play until he shows more. He should not be used this week in a matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Jeudy has seen five total targets this season and has two catches for 26 receiving yards. That's not enough involvement to make him fantasy relevant and until he develops more of a chemistry with Deshaun Watson, he should remain on the bench. Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion, although both rookies, have emerged as the two main pass-catching targets in Cleveland as well as the tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Coming into the season, it was expected that Jeudy might have a role in the passing game as the second or third receiver as the veteran, but that really hasn't developed yet. Until further notice Jeudy can't be trusted to return fantasy results.
