Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Joshua Palmer

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) will not carry an injury designation into his team's Week 7 matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. The veteran back will reportedly sit out the team's Wednesday practices for the foreseeable future as he manages an ankle injury, but it does not appear the ailment will keep him from playing. Kamara has recorded 436 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 105 total touches through six games so far this season. He's averaging career lows in both yards per touch (4.2) and yards per reception (5.5). Kamara profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2/high-end flex option in Week 7 against Chicago.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is "week-to-week" after he suffered an ankle injury in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons and was unable to return, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. Palmer injured his ankle in the first half of Monday night's contest when he was tackled awkwardly, and he was unable to return to the game. He finished with two catches for 60 yards. Buffalo's bye in Week 7 is coming at a good time for Palmer, but his week-to-week designation means he won't be a lock to be ready when the Bills return to action on Oct. 26 in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. The 26-year-old has failed to stand out in his first year in Buffalo in an offense that continues to spread the ball around. Palmer has only 14 catches on 20 targets for 234 yards and no scores in six games. He'll be a popular drop candidate by fantasy managers with the Bills on bye in Week 7.
