Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Josh Jacobs

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 12 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, per Matthew Paras of The Times-Picayune. Kamara has been listed as a limited practice participant all week as he battles a nagging ankle injury that has plagued him for much of the 2025 season. The 30-year-old had an encouraging game in his final outing before the Saints' Week 11 bye, recording 115 scrimmage yards on 25 touches against the Carolina Panthers. If he's unable to play in Week 12, Devin Neal and Audric Estime would likely handle the backfield work for New Orleans against Atlanta on Sunday. Should Kamara be active, he profiles as a high-end fantasy RB2 and could be in for another big week against the reeling Falcons.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Jacobs suffered a knee contusion that forced him to exit early from his team's Week 11 win over the New York Giants and has been limited in practice this week as a result. The 27-year-old has recorded 885 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns on 197 touches across 10 games this season and profiles as a must-start fantasy running back against Minnesota if he's cleared to play. If Jacobs were out, Packers running back Emanuel Wilson would likely get the majority of Green Bay's backfield touches in Week 12. Third-year back Chris Brooks could factor into the mix as well. Wilson has recorded 289 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 64 touches so far this season and would profile as a low-end fantasy RB2 if Jacobs is inactive against Minnesota.
