Alvin Kamara News
Saturday, November 7, 5:14 AM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed six times for just five yards while adding seven receptions for 57 yards in Week 7's loss to the Steelers. Kamara has been extremely inefficient this season, averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry and just 20.8 rushing yards per game. His receiving usage has been the only thing keeping him afloat from a fantasy perspective, as his seven receptions led the team in Week 7. Kamara also faces growing competition for touches in the backfield, as Kendre Miller received eight carries last game, the Saints recently signed Audric Estime, and Travis Etienne Jr. is working his way back from IR. With the Saints failing to establish any sort of run game and his role being shaky, Kamara is best viewed as a touchdown-dependent FLEX option against a Browns defense that ranks around the middle of the pack against running backs.

Jonathan Taylor News
Sunday, November 8, 6:58 PM
The Indianapolis Colts could entertain an "11th-hour offer" for running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. There has been plenty of reporting on Taylor's availability over the last couple of weeks, with some headlines saying that he won't be dealt and other headlines saying that he'll be shipped off to the highest bidder. Holder's read on the situation is that "there's not a strong indication that there's going to be a lot of movement by the Colts at the trade deadline," and the team has already turned down an offer of a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick for Taylor. Holder did clarify that he definitely can't rule out the possibility of a trade, especially if the Colts receive an offer they can't refuse. This will be one of the biggest storylines to follow in the NFL before trade talks get cut off at 4 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
