Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Jonathan Taylor

Sunday, November 2, 3:06 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 30-year-old has been disappointing this season, amassing just 363 rushing yards, 147 receiving yards, and one touchdown through eight games. Even with Kendre Miller (knee) sidelined, Kamara hasn't been able to carve out a major role within New Orleans' offense. He'll likely continue to play around 60 percent of the snaps with roughly a dozen touches against the Rams. His pass-catching skills give him low-end RB2 appeal in PPR leagues, but for the most part, he should be deployed as an RB3/flex.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finally cooled off in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in the disappointing loss to Pittsburgh. It was the first time all season that Taylor had been held to fewer than 66 rushing yards and just the third time in nine games that he was held out of the end zone. Taylor will now head back home to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has struggled to slow opposing rushing attacks this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to running backs in eight games. Taylor remains a rock-solid RB1 in all fantasy formats heading into Week 10's contest.
