Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Justice Hill

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.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has hit one very high output among many lows so far this season. His biggest value continues to be in full PPR formats, and the fact that the Ravens' defense has been so terrible that the offense has to abandon the run early. Hill has only registered one week finishing in the top 30 at the position, and has one more finish inside the top 36. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the toughest defenses against opposing backfields, which diminishes his value even further, even though Cooper Rush will likely have plenty of dump-off throws. Hill is projected as the RB51 and is avoidable in most league sizes this week.
